Tools
These are some common tools used to work on this device. You might not need every tool for every procedure.
Background
The Nintendo Switch was first released in March of 2017, with other spinoff models such as the Nintendo Switch Lite and the Nintendo Switch OLED being released in 2019 and 2021 respectively. Their successor, the Nintendo Switch 2, was released in 2025.
The Nintendo Switch, Switch OLED, and Switch 2 all double as both a handheld game console and a dedicated home console that can be played on a home's television by slotting the tablet into a dedicated dock and detaching the Joy-Con or Joy-Con 2 controllers from the tablet. Nintendo also makes a wireless Bluetooth controller called the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller, which provides gamers with a more traditional gaming experience.
Identification
Each Switch is identifiable by the "Nintendo Switch" logo on the back of the device. The models are differentiable by their model numbers:
Nintendo Switch 2: BEE-001
Nintendo Switch OLED: HEG-001
Nintendo Switch Standard: HAC-001
Nintendo Switch Lite: HDH-001
Furthermore, the Switch Lite is smaller and lighter than the standard and OLED models, with a slightly smaller display, no kickstand, and no detachable Joy-Cons. The OLED model features a large kickstand which differs from the standard model's smaller, detachable kickstand. The Switch 2 has a "2" in its logo on the back, and uses magnetic controller mounts instead of locking rails.
