Nintendo Switch Unboxing, Teardown & Reassembly

We finally received our Nintendo Switch...so of course the first thing we do is tear it down! Check out our full, detailed teardown!
After the back case comes off the game slot can be unclipped from the motherboard. Once that's removed the metal plate covering the internal parts can also be removed.
Now I can see the full internal components of the Nintendo Switch console. It's got a large heat pipe and a small fan which is great for cooling. It also has removable storage and a removable headphone jack. This console is nice a modular so when things break you should be able to just replace the part that broke.
The battery is glued in with fairly strong adhesive and is difficult to remove. I remove the fan, heat pipe, all ribbon cables and wifi cables then remove the headphone jack and storage module.
Once all of those have been removed I then can remove the screws and get that motherboard out.
I show a brief overview of what the motherboard looks like, then re-assemble the console.
Overall I love that the Nintendo Switch teardown shows that it should be a repairable game console.
