Final Thoughts
  • The Nintendo Switch OLED Model earns a 7 out of 10 on our repairability scale (10 is the easiest to repair):

  • Most important components are modular and easy to replace.

  • Batteries, though adhered to their housings, are easy to access and disconnect, and not too difficult to remove.

  • The new OLED display is only adhered to the console around the edges, making replacements just as easy as the original Switch.

  • Some of the internal changes to the Switch OLED reduce the modularity of individual components.

  • Proprietary tri-point screws restrict users from opening the Switch.
