Introduction
Go to step 1 ↓Use this guide to replace the motherboard in your Nintendo Switch OLED dock.
The Switch OLED's dock uses JIS screws, but you can use a Phillips screwdriver in a pinch. Be very careful not to strip the screws. iFixit's Phillips bits are designed to be cross-compatible with JIS-style screws.
Make sure to disconnect all cables from your dock before starting repairs.
