| Follow this guide to replace a faulty or damaged screen on the Nintendo Switch Lite. | | | The Switch Lite 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. | | | ***Note:*** Removing the joysticks and buttons isn’t required, but it makes this repair much easier. | | | ***Note:*** This guide is for the ***screen only***. If you're replacing the screen assembly (the screen attached to the digitizer) follow [link|https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Nintendo+Switch+Lite+Screen+Assembly+Replacement/156978|this guide|new_window=true].

The thermal paste will need to be cleaned off of both components—as well as the CPU—and reapplied before reinstalling the shield plate and heat sink. |
