Whoa, so there’s this dude on YouTube, Zack Nelson, you know the guy from JerryRigEverything? Yeah, he just went to town on the new Nintendo Switch 2, tearing it apart like it was nothing. And, no surprise, he’s smiling at what he finds. Apparently, this new gizmo is super modular. Like, everything from the Joy-Con 2 sticks to the headphone jack can be fiddled with. How cool is that?
But here’s the kicker, and it’s a bit of a bummer, honestly. So, even though folks say the Switch 2 might cost an arm and a leg to fix (replacement parts being expensive and all), Zack goes all DIY on it at home. Just him, a Phillips screwdriver, and some weird tri-point thing (whatever that is). And bam, back together again without a hitch. It’s like that satisfying feeling you get when you find the last puzzle piece under the couch.
Oh, but not everything’s peachy. The batteries are glued down tight, unlike the first-gen. Imagine a toddler with superglue, just a mess. You’re gonna need a ton of alcohol — not the fun kind, mind you — and some muscle to get them out. And if the game card slot or USB-C ports go kaput? Well, just start crying now. You’ll have to swap out the whole motherboard unless you’re some soldering genius.
Wait, wait, here’s the real shocker. Zack decides to show off how tough the Switch 2 screen is. So, he yanks off the screen protector, claims it’s there to keep glass shards in place (like the windows in a car—who knew?). Next thing you know, he’s got these big ol’ pliers, used for plumbing and stuff, and he’s whacking the bejesus out of the screen. Over 50 hits later, the thing finally shatters, looking like a spider on caffeine.
And you think it’s over, right? Nah, the console just gives him a black screen, throws a little tantrum, and then a quick reset, and it’s back, though with a face only a mother could love. Seriously, shattered glass everywhere, but Zack’s still pressing buttons like it’s all good. Nintendo, man, they built this thing tough. Probably don’t recommend launching it like a frisbee, though, unless you wanna say goodbye to your warranty.
Oh, and if you’re into tech stuff or just kinda bored at work, you might wanna hit up Tom’s Hardware on Google News. They’re dishin’ out all sorts of juicy updates and reviews. Go ahead and follow them, if that’s your jam.
