Alright, so I stumbled upon this video the other day. You know, the one by JerryRigEverything? The dude’s tearing apart the Nintendo Switch 2 like it’s no big deal. What’s wild is he seemed pretty into it, happy with most of the fiddly bits inside. Apparently, there are loads of modular parts—like those Joy-Con 2 sticks and the headphone jack. Who knew?
People are saying the new Switch could cost more to fix ’cause the parts are pricier, but Zack (that’s the dude’s name) made it look pretty straightforward. Just some basic tools, like a Phillips screwdriver—yeah, the kind in every junk drawer ever—and this special tri-point thingamajig. He puts it all back together, and surprise, it still works fine! No leftover screws, but maybe some anxiety, I bet.
But here’s the kicker—those batteries? Glued down tight, unlike the OG Switch. Sounds like a fun Saturday night with a bunch of alcohol and elbow grease to pry them out. And if you bust the game card slot or USB-C ports, forget about modular magic—you’re swapping the whole motherboard, unless you’re a Tony Stark with soldering skills.
Anyway—wait, losing my train of thought—where was I? Oh right, the screen! Zack yanked off the screen protector ’cause it’s there to keep broken shards in check, like a laminated car window. Then he went to town on it with plumber tools. Yes, plumbing tools. Took him 50-ish hits to shatter the poor thing. Even after all that, a quick reset got it gaming again, still busted but functional. Nintendo really beefed up this thing for everyday chaos. Could probably handle a toddler tantrum or the occasional “oops” moment.
Okay, wrapping this up. Just a heads up—if you’re into tech stuff, following Tom’s Hardware on Google News might keep you entertained. They’ve got the scoop on all things tech, popping right into your feed.
