Okay, so, picture this. You’ve got this guy, JerryRigEverything, right? And he’s just going at it with the new Nintendo Switch 2, tearing it apart. Literally. Like, if you ever wanted to know what makes this little gadget tick, he’s got you covered. So, Zack Nelson, the dude behind it all, he’s poking around in there and seems pretty thrilled about how easy it is to mess with. Modular parts everywhere—like, even the sticks on the Joy-Con 2s, and yes, the headphone jack too.
Now, there were all these whispers about how fixing the Switch 2 would cost an arm and a leg because of pricey parts. But apparently, it’s really not that tricky. Seriously, just grab a Phillips screwdriver and one of those funky tri-point ones, and bam, you’re in. Zack even put it all back together without a hitch, which is kinda impressive, not gonna lie.
Okay, so here’s the kicker—no idea why they did this—but the batteries? They’re glued down. Ugh, why though? Unlike the OG Switch, it’s gonna take a lot of alcohol and elbow grease to yank those out. Plus, the game card slot and USB-C ports are a bit stuck up and not modular. So if you mess those up, you’re looking at replacing the whole motherboard. Unless you’re a soldering wizard or something.
Oh, quick side note—Zack smashed the screen with freaking pliers, right? It’s like, wouldn’t recommend trying that at home, folks. But anyway, before that chaos, he peels off the screen protector that’s there to keep glass bits from flying around if you go Hulk on it. And you know, it’s just like how car windshields work. Anyway, Zack’s biceps of steel took 50 swings before the screen called it quits. Still, the console kept on, sort of, even after the glass died. Durable? That might be an understatement.
Should I tell you to follow Tom’s Hardware on Google News? Yeah, probably. They’d dig that. Just hit the follow button for all the nerdy stuff and geek-out goodness they dish out.
So, that’s a wrap—hope this makes some kind of sense. Or not. Who knows?
