Screwdriver Set Switch

Can someone recommend a screw driver/tool kit for OLED modding? I can't find a kit that has the JIS 000 screwdrivers...

In the Ifixit video on YouTube he says to use JIS 000 screwdrivers for the switch. I know you can strip JIS 000 screws if you use Philips even though they are very similar.



I don't want to strip the screws, but if you say it is okay then I will try.

I'm using this cheap and very convenient set from AliExpress:

If your screws are glued in with that green nasty substrate you are most likely going to strip them if you use philip heads. I personally use PZ000 which is equivalent to Philip00. PZ for me have better grip on the screw leaving no room for wiggle. I've stripped a few using philip for both sizes 000 and 00 and had to rethread them in order to remove them.

I would highly recommend this set: https://www.ifixit.com/products/mako-driver-kit-64-precision-bits

It has not only been great for the switch but many other electronics as well.

I first ordered a cheap pair off of ebay and it stripped the screws on my switch, so I would say be cautious if you take that route.

The ifixit kit is well worth the investment IMO

It's expensive. Any other kits that aren't $40?

Spend the $$ for a quality kit. You'll be happier and get better results than with bargain basement kits. Bonus you'll be able to disassemble all sorts of things with ease. I have very few things that can't be disassembled with the my ifixit kit.

Ifixit set works fine for me, I never tried the JIS set. There use to be this set on Amazon it work fine. What you need is precision screwdrivers. If you don't want a whole set just get the Y00 and P00.

I bought the iFixit Toolkit about 6 Years ago and it's totally worth it, ever single Bit is still like new because they are made of Quality Metal.

I wouldn't bother with Cheap cent ware screwdrivers that comes with everything you order from China, those tools are a one way trip and break on the first or second use especially the Cheap Plastic opening Tools, they snap almost instant.

JIS comes with the IFIXIT kit.

Only problem is that the kit runs $40.

Why Philips screwdriver instead of JIS?

Only thing that it is missing is the plastic spudger.

You don't need JIS. P00 and Y00 work fine, just get the two screwdrivers I linked. because the screws type are Philips and triwing bits.

Highly recommend the iFixit Pro Tech Toolkit, you'll never need to buy another tool for opening stuff again, it has anything you would ever need, as well as being high quality and coming with a lifetime warranty. It's not cheap, but considering how many things it comes with, and how big of a difference it can make having the right tool for a job, it's worth it. It's been a lifesaver.

I can't remember the name of my set, but I can vouch for ifixit being reliable high quality.

Once the diode values are correct, does that mean that the installation was done correctly?

Can't help you on this, I don't really do soldering work on switch, someone else can help you on this.
