Schematic Nintendo Switch OledDisclaimer: Official schematics are Nintendo confidential. However, board views and reverse-engineered schematics are available from: Do not buy "Nintendo Official" PDFs on eBay. They are almost always fake V1 schematics renamed to OLED. The mainboard (Motherboard) acts as the central nervous system of the device. In the original HAC model, the PI3USB chip handled video. In the HEG-001 schematic, you will notice different resistor values on the DisplayPort lanes to support the OLED’s internal display timing while maintaining 1080p output to the TV. Schematic Nintendo Switch Oled If you are used to repairing the standard Switch (HAC-001), do not use that schematic for the OLED. Here is why: | Feature | Standard Switch (HAC) | Switch OLED (HEG) | Schematic Change | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Display | 6.2" LCD (DRV chip) | 7" OLED (DDI IC) | Pin 1-20 on FPC connector are different. | | Backlight | Requires 20V LED driver. | No backlight driver (OLED is self-emissive). | The backlight boost converter is missing on OLED schematics. | | Audio Amp | MAX98306 | MAX98357 | Pinout changed from TDM to I2S. | | Kickstand | No electronics. | Includes a sync detect switch. | Two extra GPIO lines on the daughterboard. | | Speaker shape | Dual. | "Stereo" but wired in parallel. | Schematic shows different inductor values (L1, L2). | If you don't want a cease-and-desist letter, stick to these resources: Disclaimer: Official schematics are Nintendo confidential The original Switch used a parallel RGB interface for its LCD. The OLED schematic shows a MIPI DSI (Display Serial Interface) with a dedicated +VDDH rail at 7.6V—a dead giveaway of the Samsung AMOLED panel. This requires a completely different backlight driver (or lack thereof—OLEDs don't have backlights; they have anode/cathode drivers). A schematic is a technical wiring diagram that shows: It does not show physical layout — that's a boardview file ( This is the biggest change from the LCD model. The schematic will show a 40-pin connector (usually labeled Key Pinouts to note:
