Alright, so let’s dive into this neat little experiment with JerryRigEverything and the Nintendo Switch 2. You know, I was watching the teardown and couldn’t help but get sucked into the chaos of it all. Zack Nelson – the guy behind this questionable yet intriguing operation – pulled the whole thing apart like a kid unwrapping a Christmas gift. Honestly, I half-expected a rubber chicken to pop out.
The first thing that kinda stuck with me? Most of the internal parts are these super modular, easy-peasy bits. We’re talking about the kind of modular where even someone like me could maybe manage it? Famous last words, I know. Anyway, those Joy-Con 2s? Even the little headphone jack? All sweet and modular, apparently. But hey, don’t quote me on that – I’m just a spectator here.
So, the word on the street was about how repairs might burn a hole in the ol’ wallet because of pricey replacement parts. But then Zack made it look like taking it apart was just another Sunday hobby. Grab a couple of basic tools – and by “basic,” I mean a Phillips screwdriver and one of those elusive tri-point doodads. (Who invents these things?) He puts it back together with the sort of confidence I usually only reserve for assembling IKEA furniture, and it works like magic. I mean, who would’ve thought?
But then, plot twist. Batteries glued down like they’re auditioning for the role of Velcro’s tough cousin. The process involves, like, a river of alcohol and probably some angry wrestling. And oh boy, if you thought that USB-C port was just gonna pop out? Nah, you’ve gotta love all-or-nothing decisions. Replace one part; swap the whole motherboard. Unless soldering is, you know, your weekend jam.
Now, a shiny highlight – or maybe just a moment of madness. The screen. Zack starts whacking it with pliers – and here’s where my brain just paused. You know that feeling when someone starts vacuuming at 3 AM? Basically like that. Over 50 hits, folks. Fifty smacks and the screen finally gives up. But guess what? The whole thing still works. Sort of. Black screen, pieces all over, yet a reset brings it back. Bloody tough little console, isn’t it? But listen, don’t start tossing yours around like confetti. Warranties exist for a reason, and I’ve already lost mine on a dare once. We don’t talk about it.
And then, if you wanna stay in the loop about these weird yet wonderful gadgets, might as well follow Tom’s Hardware – they’ll keep you updated. Or not, no pressure. Anyway, what was I talking about? Right, back to living life one teardown at a time.
