Okay, so Nintendo Switch 2 is barely out, right? And already, we’ve got someone tearing it apart like it’s a new toy that just begs to be dissected. I stumbled across this video by ProModding on YouTube, and their enthusiasm is, well, kind of contagious. You know when you’re supposed to be doing something else, but instead you’re glued to watching them fiddle with it under a microscope? It’s like a cozy rabbit hole of tech intrigue.
They start with these screws at the bottom, and I’m wondering, who even finds this stuff out? Then there’s a kickstand, more screws—behind some colored cover thingies where you slot the Joy-Con controllers. Oddly satisfying to watch all this intricate stuff slip off, like peeling an orange but way more complicated.
Now, the metal shielding—who knew consoles had such things? ProModding just flicks it away like, no biggie. All those antennae bits and cooler thingies go too. Honestly, I’m half lost but intrigued. Oh, and the battery gets disconnected (note to self: don’t mess with power).
Finally, we see this shiny Nvidia chip. The GMLX30-A1—or whatever techno-babble. It matches some leaks from ages ago. I mean, talk about spoilers! But hey, that’s tech for you—mysteries wrapped in silicon.
ProModding dives deep, squinting through a microscope, every chip laid bare. Seriously though, don’t go doing this yourself unless you fancy voiding your warranty. Nintendo’s got this scary warning in their End User License thingy—like, if you mess with it, they might brick your console. Terrifying stuff.
Plus, there’s probably some super-secret repair guide floating around for Nintendo techs. Tomorrow, June 5th, is the official big day, so till then, I guess we feast on modders’ YouTube magic.
Anyway, Tom’s Hardware’s got the scoop on Google News, so if this stuff lights you up, maybe give them a follow. Or don’t. Choice is yours, my tech-curious friend.
