Revision to Nintendo Switch Screwdriver

Evan Gattuso

== What screwdriver do I need to open my Nintendo Switch console? ==
-You'll need a ***Tri-point Y00 screwdriver*** to remove the screws on the back panel ***and*** either a ***JIS000 screwdriver*** or an official ***iFixit*** ***PH000 screwdriver*** to remove the screws on the top, bottom, and sides of the Switch console and in the kickstand well. Follow iFixit’s guides for the [[Topic:Nintendo Switch|standard Switch|new_window=true]], [[Topic:Nintendo Switch OLED Model|Switch OLED|new_window=true]], and [[Topic:Nintendo Switch Lite|Switch Lite|new_window=true]] for the specific locations of each screw type.

[note]According to [link|https://www.ifixit.com/User/668072/Jeff+Suovanen|Jeff Suovanen|new_window=true], iFixit's Senior Technical Editor, you don't have to buy a new JIS screwdriver to remove JIS screws, ''"technically'' these are JIS screws, but iFixit designed their Phillips bits to remove JIS screws. You might find removing JIS screws with a non-iFixit Phillips screwdriver to be more challenging."[/note]
