Be extra careful with your new console.

    I don’t get why Nintendo felt the need to hide screws behind stickers, or to glue down the battery so hard. Switch 1 was fairly easy to open up. Hopefully right to repair legislation can force Nintendo into providing official parts and repair guides before Switch 2 batteries start dying.

      Nintendo is the Apple of video games. They don’t want people to repair it, either send it back for a depot repair or buy a new one. They want you to treat it as a sealed product.

        Yeah, Nintendo have always had a bit of a weird mentality when it comes to their hardware. They always like doing things their way, and for you to only deal with them for repairs and service (as far as I know not even having a repair partner program to make their service easier to access). It’s a shame, considering their hardware has been fairly modular and easy to open in general.
