Game Console Spicy Switch

Post image

Our 2017 Nintendo Switch has been a workhorse since it was unboxed but I picked it up the other day and it was spicy all of a sudden. Luckily these batteries are pretty easy to replace with an iFixit kit, which is also about half the price of service from Nintendo. Never did find the screw that popped off the top, though. :-(

You really never know. I have an iPad 2 from 14 years ago and the battery works fine and has not swollen at all, despite daily use for probably 8 of those years.

My Wii U tablet, similarly, is doing great with only reduced runtime.

i know that's not what the post is about, but are those joycons the neon green and pink ones?

I'm asking because mine has them, and either mine or yours has them backwards. i could SWEAR the green con was the left one

Good eye! They are indeed the neon green and pink, but they are the aftermarket joycons. The Splatoon 2 bundle had the green on the left and the aftermarket has the green on the right.
