Nintendo Switch 2 Teardown Reveals Nvidia Chip in Detail

Sure thing, here’s a reimagining of the article:

Alright, so the Nintendo Switch 2 just hit the market. It’s fresh, barely out of the box, and surprise, surprise — folks are already tearing it apart. Yup, you heard me right. The YouTube channel ProModding decided they couldn’t resist and went full mad scientist on this thing. Honestly, I get it. There’s something weirdly satisfying about diving into tech guts.

They cracked open this new gadget — I mean, the nerve, right? I watched the video, half thinking, “Don’t try this at home, kids.” Anyway, they were poking around, showing off a spiffy Nvidia chip. Looked like something from an alien spaceship. Shiny stuff. They even got out a microscope to eyeball the circuits. Not sure why, but it had this strange appeal. Like tech ASMR or something.

To get into it, they started with screws at the bottom. And there are more behind the kickstand (why do these things always have weird screw placements?). Even more behind the colorful Joy-Con holders. I found myself getting lost in thoughts about screws. Who knew life had so many?

And then there’s the metal shielding. Well, ProModding just tore into it. Swoosh, out went the antennae, and goodbye, cooler and battery. Yep, the motherboard saw the light of day after all that, naked and afraid. But oh, the Nvidia chip! GMLX30-A1, whatever that means — sounded like sci-fi mumbo jumbo. But they whispered it was out there in leak-ville before. Wild, right?

So if you’re itching to gaze into the board’s soul, ProModder’s got your back with that microscope sweep. Knock yourself out — well, not literally.

Now, let’s talk heart-to-heart. Tinkering with your shiny new Switch 2? Maybe rethink that. Unless you’re cool with voiding warranties or turning your toy into a paperweight. Nintendo’s got this fancy legal talk now, all “thou shalt not mess with the innards” or something. Like, break it, and bam, your console’s toast. So proceed with caution, yeah?

And just so you know, Nintendo’s own tech wizards probably have secret repair manuals or some such. But while we mere mortals wait for the Switch 2’s grand debut tomorrow, modders are having a field day online. Got to love living in the future.
