Nintendo Switch Micro SD Card Reader Replacement

Введение

Follow this guide to replace a damaged or faulty microSD card reader on your Nintendo Switch game console.

The Nintendo Switch uses JIS screws, which are slightly different than Phillips. We don’t recommend using Phillips drivers for JIS screws; however, iFixit Phillips bits are specifically designed to be compatible with JIS screws. If you use a non-iFixit Phillips driver, you risk stripping the screws.

WARNING: The battery cannot be disconnected during this repair, so make sure to only use ESD-safe tools and be extra careful when using any metal tools. Not doing so could short a connection and damage the device.

Note: This guide, and the part we sell, are compatible with the original Nintendo Switch model released in 2017, as well as the newer refreshed model released in 2019 (model numbers HAC-001 and HAC-001(-01), respectively).

    • Use a Y00 screwdriver to remove the four 6.3 mm-long screws securing the rear panel.

    • Throughout this repair, keep track of each screw and make sure it goes back exactly where it came from.

    • If you do happen to strip one of the four 6.3 mm-long Y00 screws, If you are lucky and careful, you may be able to use a Y0 bit to remove the screw(s). Please note that if you do attempt this, a bit of extra pressure will need to be applied to the screwdriver so that the screwdriver bit catches the screw.

    • If you do end up removing the stripped screw with this method, PLEASE do not reuse the screw again and instead replace the screw.

  4. Nintendo Switch Micro SD Card Reader Replacement, Remove the top and bottom screws: шаг 4, изображение 1 из 2 Nintendo Switch Micro SD Card Reader Replacement, Remove the top and bottom screws: шаг 4, изображение 2 из 2

    • Use a JIS 00 driver to remove the following screws securing the rear panel:

    • One 2.5 mm-long screw on the top edge of the device

    • Two 2.5 mm-long screws on the bottom edge of the device

    • To prevent these tight screws from stripping, apply firm downward force, work slowly, and try another JIS 00 driver if the screws won't come out. Make sure the driver is fully inserted.

    • You can use a Phillips #000 screwdriver in a pinch, but you risk damaging or stripping the screws. Push down firmly on the screwdriver and twist slowly. Often, switching drivers may help, even if they are the same size.
