It is the experienced folks at iFixit who have taken it upon themselves to completely tear down the new Nintendo Switch, which launched worldwide on Friday.

iFixit scores Nintendo Switch 8 out of 10

In the following video we have the detailed process of disassembling the Nintendo Switch well detailed, where we can check its components and the quality of the materials, which we already anticipate is not surprising at all.

The gutting of the Nintendo Switch confirms the 4GB of RAM and a 16Wh battery. We know that the SoC chip in charge of everything is an Nvidia Tegra, but we still do not know exactly its characteristics since it is a custom model that Nvidia designed expressly for this console.

The RAM of the system seems to be divided into two 2GB chips each of the Samsung brand and the Nvidia Tegra is identified with the number NVIDIA ODNX02-A2, this code does not correspond to any other processor that the green company has manufactured, so that mystery remains.

Joy-Con controls and dock are also present in the scrapping.

iFixit always gives a score to the ease of repair of the different devices, Nintendo Switch takes an 8 out of 10 in this aspect, so it seems that it is quite easy to repair it for someone with advanced knowledge or unofficial technicians. From the site they highlight how easy it is to open it and that many of its components are modular, so the parts are easily replaceable.

The most negative thing is that the battery is glued and that Nintendo has used a proprietary type of screw. They also indicate that the display will be very difficult to replace in the event of a breakdown. You can access the iFixit website to see the article in detail.
