Sure thing, here’s a raw take:
—
So, YouTuber known as JerryRigEverything—real name Zack Nelson or whatever—decided to rip apart the Nintendo Switch 2. Why? So we could all see its guts. And guess what? He was kinda pleased with what he found in there. In this YouTube adventure, ol’ Zack discovered that most of the Switch 2’s insides are super modular. I’m talking like, the sticks on the Joy-Con 2s and even the headphone jack. I mean, what a world we live in.
Now, there’s talk about the Switch 2 having pricier repair costs. Replacement parts aren’t cheap, it seems. But, fun fact: taking it apart isn’t brain surgery. You can totally do it at home. Just grab a Phillips screwdriver and, oh, a special tri-point one too. Zack managed to put the thing back together, no sweat. And voila, it worked just fine.
Now, here’s the bummer—batteries, they’re glued down this time. Unlike the OG Switch, so you’re gonna need a bunch of alcohol and elbow grease to yank those suckers out. Oh, and heads up: the game card slot and USB-C ports aren’t modular either. Basically, if they break, you might as well replace the motherboard unless you’re a soldering whiz.
Anyway—where was I? Oh yeah, the video. Zack also decided to test the screen’s durability. Took off the screen protector, which is there to prevent shattered glass shenanigans, much like laminated car windshields. And then? He went to town on it with channel lock pliers—those big ones plumbers use. I kid you not, it took over 50 hits before the screen gave up. And even then, after becoming a glorious kaleidoscope of broken glass, a quick system reset had it running. Sort of. Just don’t mind the shards, folks.
So yeah, the Switch 2 seems pretty tough. It’s like, built to handle the mayhem of everyday life. Maybe even a handful of tantrum-induced tosses, though I wouldn’t suggest testing that theory. You break it, you bought it—or, voided the warranty anyway.
