Comment on Nintendo demoed Switch 2 to developers at Gamescom
bassomitron@lemmy.world 2 years agoIs there a practical reason they use those obnoxious screws or is it simply to discourage home repairs? When I had to replace my Switch’s fan last year, those insanely tiny screws were a pain in the ass to not accidentally strip.

It’s purposeful to discourage user servicing. I recommend purchasing a quality tri-wing driver, e.g. from iFixit or Proskit.

iFixit have the best driver at the price point, period

iFixit’s pro kit is great even if you only open up one device a year

I figured as much. And yeah, when I replaced my fan I bought the iFixit kit which was really useful.

I’m usually not one to advertise, but they provide extremely accurate and complete guides for precision electronics repair, and sell the necessary tools and parts with sufficient quality and reasonable prices.
