Sure! Here’s a reimagined version of the article:

So I was diving into the chaotic wonderland of YouTube, and guess what popped up? JerryRigEverything’s new video where he just gleefully rips apart the Nintendo Switch 2. Like, literally tears it down. And honestly, Zack Nelson (the guy behind the channel) seemed pretty psyched about what he found inside. The whole thing is kind of a do-it-yourselfer’s dream—modular magic everywhere! From those lovable little Joy-Con 2 sticks to the headphone jack. Total tinkerer’s paradise.
Now, about those reports murmuring about the Switch 2 being all pricey to repair because of the “fancy” parts—well, maybe? But it’s not too big a deal to take apart. Your toolkit? Just a Phillips screwdriver, plus one of those funky tri-point ones. And get this, Zack slapped it all back together and the thing still worked fine. How about that?
But oh man, here’s the kicker—the batteries are glued down. Like, why? The first-gen Switch didn’t pull that stunt. So if you’re feeling brave enough to yank them out, you’ll need a bathtub of rubbing alcohol and muscle power. Not exactly Sunday fun. And don’t even get me started on the game card slot and USB-C ports—they’re not going anywhere. Mess them up and—boom—you’re swapping out the whole motherboard. Unless you’re a soldering wizard, that is.
Okay, weird side note… there’s this video clip about the durability of the Switch 2 screen, and strangely it sticks with me. Zack started by peeling off this protector (which is there because, apparently, safety first?), and then just went all out with these giant pliers! Fifty hits later, it finally shattered. Fifty! That’s a heck of a build. I mean, how many gadgets can say they stood up to that and still turned on with a reset? Though, you’ll have to dodge the glass shards while gaming. Nope, not kidding. Just – maybe don’t play catch with it?
As much as these things look like they’re built to survive a catastrophe (or a toddler’s tantrum), do try to keep it in one piece. No warranties cover angry tosses across the room!
Alright, enough for now. You can keep up with Tom’s Hardware over on Google News, for more bits and bobs about stuff we love to tinker with. Hit that Follow button if you fancy.
