Use this guide to replace the shield plate and both Wi-Fi antennas in your Nintendo Switch OLED.
The Switch OLED 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: When you remove the shield plate, you’ll need to replace the thermal compound between the plate and the heatsink. Since normal thermal paste isn’t designed to bridge large gaps, the closest replacement is K5 Pro viscous thermal paste.

My question is, where do I get replacement screws? Are the shield screws the same size as the regular switch?
Hi Ren.
Unfortunately, we don't sell the screws alongside the replacement shield. The regular Switch has different screws as well, but you might find some on eBay. I'm not sure how effective Nintendo's customer service is here, but you could give it a shot to find out the type of screws.
Where do I even by the oled heat plate from I keep finding normal switch or this %#*@ tutorial
