Introduzione
Use this guide to replace the game card reader daughterboard in your Nintendo Switch OLED.
For your safety, discharge the battery below 25% before disassembling your Switch. This reduces the risk of fire if the battery is accidentally damaged during the repair. If your battery is swollen, take appropriate precautions.
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.

Hello. Is this the part that replaces a damaged micro sd card reader on the OLED ? Thanks for the guidance
Hi Roberto!
Yes, the daughterboard holds both the microSD card reader and the game card reader.
The replacement part does not come with the micro sd reader & game card readers attached, is that correct?
Attached to that replacement daughterboard is a new (1) gamecard reader, (2) microSD card reader and (3) headphone jack. No soldering required.
