Nintendo Switch 2 Screen Proves Resilient to 50 Pliers Smashes—Destructive Testing Reveals Exceptional Durability

Hey, guess what? So, like, this YouTube guy—JerryRigEverything, maybe you’ve heard of him—well, he just went all mad scientist on the Nintendo Switch 2, ripping it apart so we could peek inside. And wow, was he thrilled! I mean, Zack Nelson (that’s the host) was all smiles because nearly everything inside is pretty much like a puzzle—super modular, ya know? Even the Joy-Con bits and the headphone jack are like pieces you can just pull out and swap. Crazy, right?

Folks are saying, though, that maybe fixing this thing could cost an arm and a leg cause the parts aren’t cheap. But hey, taking it apart? Not a biggie. You just need your basic toolkit—Phillips and tri-point screwdrivers and voilà! Nelson managed to slap it back together without a hitch. No clue how he keeps his cool doing this stuff.

Now, here’s a bummer: the batteries are glued in there tighter than my grandma’s old pickle jars. Unlike the first Switch, you gotta drench them in alcohol and muscle them out. Plus, the game card slot and USB-C port? Forget about those being modular. Wanna swap ’em? Better be ready to shell out for a new motherboard unless you’re into the whole soldering gig.

Oh, and there’s this whole other part to the video where Zack plays Hercules with the screen. He yanked off the screen protector—apparently, it’s there to keep the glass from going all “kaboom” like a shattered car window. So, after putting everything back together (minus one of those vibrating thingies), he went HAM on the screen with some hefty pliers—over 50 whacks before the thing gave up! Can you believe it? The screen turned into a spiderweb of doom, but a quick restart and the Switch didn’t even flinch, still ready for action. Seriously, who knew it could take such a beating? Though, I wouldn’t exactly start tossing it around like a frisbee. Warranty? Yeah, that’d be toast.

Hey, just rambling here, but if you’re all about staying in the loop with geeky news and deep dives, Tom’s Hardware on Google News might be your jam. Just smash that Follow button, and you’ll have it all in your feed. Anyway, back to reality—or like, what was I even on about? Ah, never mind…
