- Its time to open up the new Nintendo Switch and see how it works on the inside. I take apart the Nintendo Switch in my new video to look at the heat pipe, and how the system does its cooling. It also has removable memory.

6:28 "I personally wanna play Zelda later, though."
Last video: *destroys the X-Button*
the x button still works so its playable
He love to press the x button he make XDXD
Surely he's not still using this as his "main" Switch right?
maybe, it would still be very much usable in the dock and he could easily get new joy cons. Although f he enjoys on the go gaming of course he likely has another one.
I literally thought the exact same thing😂😂
This is actually interesting to me, seeing the inside of something like a switch and seeing how it works...without me having to break mine lol.
Its a smaller nvidia shield.
Apparently 4 million + people agree with you
Fury
I opened up my own pc to take a look at the cpu and the ram. I think i killed the cpu by accidently dropping it.

Thermal paste loses a ton of its properties after separating both parts, air bubbles will penetrante increasing cpu temperature. Beware of the temperatures, sudden shutdown of the device or throttling/stuttering while playing. I would for sure replace the paste every time I remove the heat pipe.
This is an important comment that deserves more thumbs up. Every time you're taking anything apart that uses thermal paste, you should replace the paste.
+violentjett you might not care, but others do. It being trash is just your opinion. Paper money is also trash, we give it value. Try going back to school.
violentjett So I'm also gonna let a PS4 overheat.
Your mom sucks.
Anybody that buys a nippy product is a moron. Americans are superior in quality. Intel and NVIDIA ftw
I used this video 2 years ago when working for a repair store to change a bad battery. Today I used this video again to fix the non-functioning power button on my own switch. Thanks for making these videos man.
If you don't mind my asking what was the issue or how did you fix it
I don’t understand anything you’re saying, but your voice sounds nice so I’ll keep watching.
He means by the circuits and things they do as he takes apart the console.
Kimberly Nicole lol me too
Are u a perv??? He’s married
Hyperspace Yohan 787 I don’t care. he’s married now so I can say that
Ikr
If this guy ever eyeballed your electronic gadget. Hide it quickly. Believe me.
Why
@@kys898 he's taking it apart in the video are you dumb.
@@efmusic04 he put it back together though
@@Erikles oh so you wouldn't mind if the screen was badly scratched and the rail fell off.
@@efmusic04 no
"but I'll leave my screen intact for now..." *has burn marks and scrapes all over screen*
raven50x this was his testing switch
raven50x to be fair, his dailydriver is a phone he tested, it's scratched up and a permanent burn in the oled display
Captain Koopa the joke is he said "intact"
oh my god bro i know how you feel i might be gettin it
Miner Boi 420 I am getting 2
Tech fan: This is good video.
Nintendo fan: YOU MONSTER !
As a nintendo fan, I can say that these videos are helpful if the console "broke" or doesnt work well, and you dont wanna spend money on fixing it
@Zzider Where did I say " Every nintendo fan" ..?
@BlueNerdyWolf agreed
“Nintendo Fan”
@Zzider Lmao, I guess it would also be kind of my fault, but sure, you are now forgiven
“Normal” screws. He loves making fun of apple
Jacob THT haha that’s true
Apple deserves it though
Yes it has no head phone jack in the new iPhone xs
@@lilfroggs7965 even worse they didnt even include the dongle connector for earpods
Jacob THT well yeah apple sucks compared to that other phone company.
You forgot to remove the sim card tray
I legit panicked for a minute after reading your comment.
JerryRigEverything hahah was all planned. Keep up the good work man!
And the camera lens.
Bora Demiray its inportant to know whats in the switch so anybody can fix it without asking a noob
kyubey youre a bit slow
0:54 "i accidentaly broke the joycon rail"
_"accidentaly"_
*"accidentally"*
*aCcIdEnTaLlY*
Yeah he accidentally broke it 😂 We saw him snap it off purposely in his Nintendo Switch Durability Test vid 😂
Tom P epic
Wants to play Zelda later:
-"Accidentally" tears off Joy-Con rail.
-Melts screen.
-Scratches screen.
-Scratches all surfaces.
-Cuts through analog stick rubber.
-Chews up X-button.
PkGam just put it in the dock lmao that’s what i actually like with the switch that if something breaks like the joy on you can just put it on the switch and use a pro controller or something
And still works. Lol
I'm dead 🤣
@@decaygamer194 I suppose he could. Though his pro controller might have went through the same tests, lol!
@@bern9642 True!
I love how much mileage you get out of one unit. You test and deconstruct every inch so there’s minimal waste and it’s really informative and thorough.
"it had a rough few days, and the violence isnt over just yet"
who hurt you
MAK3X7 it called his mom gay (unfunny ok bye)
*"No Nintendo Switch consoles were harmed in the making of this video."*
He was doing surgery

“I pershonally want to play Zelda later though”
I’m dying 😂😂
How can you have such a relaxing voice while destroying stuff? 😅
Gerhard Klein it is an overvoice
Gerhard Klein he has enough money to buy another and not worry about it
He isn't destroying it. He is taking it apart and putting everything in place again. Big difference
Gerhard Klein he recorded the video and ADDED his voice with a program
FoxTheLegend So how do you explain the carved Tri-Force on the back of the system?
1:47 I thought for a second that was chewing gum from the guy that's responsible for the fingerprints
same lmao
TheYuccaPlant hahahahahh also I
+Iain Milton Because everybody knows that everything that comes from sweatshops is better.
XD
TheYuccaPlant me too xD lol!
IS THAT A LIMITED EDITION LEGEND OF ZELDA SWITCH
no he did that in a different breaking nintendo switch video
Lucas no
Official Cringey Content yes.
SEW KEWL
Chevy Traverse he made that triforce himself
Thank you very much, after 4 years having this console, i could open it up and clean it from the inside, there was so much dust (for a handheld), and i renewed the cool paste, now it should stop overheating, while playing Tears of the Kingdom ^^
Words of Wisdom from Zach
"Always keep everything organized, your life will be easier if you do"

Taher Ariwala
Lol
+gamer boy are they official
no. unofficial but still nice
That's illegal! Those are too young!
lol but make it a two in one with the dock!!
Ah good point. The battery will not be able to hold charge after several years. Maybe I'll attempt this myself after the New Switch XL 2 U Mii releases.
Crow Migration It sounds stupid, but you know Nintendo'll probably do it...
Nintendo will pull what apple did and slow every thing down then make you buy a new battery for $30
racer164
But Nintendo Staff aren't crack heads...
It will still hold charge, the capacity will just be reduced.
Pretty sure if GB colors batteries still work, this will be fine in a couple of years considering its superior tech by far.
I just want a Nintendo switch, and this guy is ripping it apart!😂😂
Same😂
😭😭
Where do I get that limited edition triforce switch?
GrandDad19, same
i can get one for you, 500$ w/o shipping. ;)
Thanks David just bought 100k
RONALD REAGAN the store
Emily Daniels it’s a joke doofus
This video is really educational for me because I'm learning how to build electronic circuit boards and components at school and this video breakdown was really helpful.
I feel like the memory was removable because your games are tied to that chip (I think?). So in the event you needed repairs done they could easily pop out that chip and then just add it back once the repairs are done.
SCREW it
6:35
Putting it together should be easier than taking it apart...😂
For me is the opposite...
Mustafa Shihab i think it’s the opposite for everyone except him
@@KBhunterx262 That's because you didn't keep your screws organized as Jerry told you, you naughty kids !
@@aleeexandre3707 how tf dobpeople keep them organized. I cant find a method on how to effectively.
@@ianowens2873 get a bunch of small trays and keep each type of screw in its own tray
If you keep your screws organized
Pretty nice that it's set up in a way that it looks like it can be totally repaired. I really hate how so many companies are making hardware that is designed to just be thrown away.
I'm so glad that this video got many views, because (I hope) with all the money earned on this teardown, You can buy a fresh one Switch for Yourself!
Thank You for this very informative Review !
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
yeah but it jut makes me mad that this guy broke a switch he was gonna use
Deso Kawa about 200k-300k views is about 2,000 bucls
"fresh" devices are like a 5th date that's stuck at 2nd base. doesnt feel like yours, if you havent been inside. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
i deem content that isnt needlessly dragging out playtime most deserving of revenue anyways. more than 2 minutes before getting to the point, and i'm out.
@RPGMaster Count in adblock, no unskipable ads, cc and other shit youtube thought up and you get at most 5$ per 100k or more >.>
0:56 "Now I ** *accidentally* ** snapped my other Joy-con rail off the console in my last video..."
...
😂😂😂
My boy must have pulled the headphones at some point because he only had audio in one ear. I pulled the back and silver plate off. Found a broken solder joint, fixed it and both audio channels work!
Thanks Jose for the tip on thermal paste, going to get some now and fix that.
Who else is afraid that if they take part their switch they will never ever be able to play it again? Show of hands!
✋
Then don’t take apart your switch
I could do this 100% exactly step by step and mine wouldn't work after. Just my luck.
✋
Yeah,that's why I will lock my switch in 10 indestructible clear safes and I will play my switch with hand like robotic hands
Hey, I have to say something: I like how your "destruction" video are actually educational in some way. They teach us the weak points of the devices, so they make us watch out for those. Unlike the other videos we see online (*cough cough techrax*), your videos aren't rage inducing and actually teach us something. Thanks you. Subbed :)
That heat pipe is hugggggggggggge
that's what she said ;)
still smaller than my dick!
Salem wow so big !!!so bigggg
Alok Helder why do i feel that's a Donald Trump impression
Alok Helder the whole cooling system is unbelievable for a phone size handheld console. It looks like the one from an ultrabook, not a Switch.
Just used this video as a guide to replacing the 8 year old thermal paste in my Switch. It's running much cooler now. Love all of your vids! 🎮
The Tri-point screw is actually not Nintendo proprietary screws, they were used on the 2010-2011 macbook pro, Apple Watch, and iPhone 7, Fuji digital cameras, and cellphones from Sanyo and Kyocera.
When I first saw this, I was thinking:
"What the hell did you do to your Switch to make it look THIS bad. I actually wanna know".
Then I saw the that you also made the "Nintendo Switch Durability Test". Nvm, question answered...
Shut up stupid bitch
@@ObamaSexGaming2007 Lol wtf did he do to u
@@simplyjuice1009 I forgot
This is a strange thread
I find this very fascinating at least I know what my Nintendo switch looks on the inside. I was interested in on how electronics had always works. 😀.
This is the type of content I'll watch at 4 AM
Hey zack can you teardown an iPhone charger the apple one and a fake one just to see the difference
I have seen graphs where they claim that the DC output in the original charger is much cleaner than in a cheap one
It was actually amazing to see the Switch from inside, although i wanted to see the LCD screen since I have a problem with mine.
dude sounds like bird person from Rick and Morty
XurTheLure W XDXDXD
Probably was the one making the voice, that's how he got the money to do this.
full power of the high ground or, the one million views on the vid giving him enough to buy it right away
Just a bit
If he tried being more monotone anyway
YES
Its truly amazing how something so small and light can pack such a punch.
Why'd you have to tear apart the Limited Edition Breath of the Wild Nintendo switch though?
lol
Imagine if he actually did that to one
imagine buying a switch pfff
@@stefman3553 bruh. Whats wrong with that? I though that it is bad. Still got it, no regrets
Stef - OW imagine being a fucking idiot
Unlike Gamer's Nexus, you actually disconnected the battery as a first step and used a plastic pry tool instead of a metal one. I was actually amazed that his unit didn't start sparking and smoking somewhere mid-procedure.
Let me tell you a joke
Where I live it costs $630 for the grey one and $900 for the neon one.
Mustafa Mirza where tf do you live?!
Mustafa Mirza that's probably resale lol
WTF
rasu Pakistan
Let me tell you another joke
The week the Ps4 was globally released I bought it for $670 with 1 game. Now its like for $270.
When you built it again.... It became the most satisfying video on UA-cam
Oml I was watching on my switch 😂😂
I had to come over to my phone to comment lol 🤣
I just use a hammer
Eli is Here leave it to tech rax
Eli is Here I always smash my old broken ass phones with a hammer.
*N O W T H A T S A L O T T A D A M A G E*
Eli is Here nah i use an excavator
It's super effective!
I think you should do a teardown of a Nintendo 3DS system, maybe an older model, because I know they're a pain in the ass to repair. I had a problem with mine where the ribbon cable connecting the top and bottom screens folded in on itself, creased, and messed with the exposure of the display of my system. (Had a bunch of vertical black lines going through the top screen that flickered. And eventually evolved into where the picture display of it looks like it had been messed with, like the contrast of it was really bright, and looked awful. But if I was lucky, it would flicker back to normal) My boyfriend tried fixing it by reseating said cables, because he thought they were just loose cables sticking out. By doing that, it ended up folding the cable even more and tearing it. Bought me a new screen with new ribbon cables 3 separate occasions, tried to reassemble it, but accidently ripped it, and gave up. The system was well loved. It had a little funeral. And he bought me a New Nintendo 3ds xl.
So I was curious it if would be as much of a pain for you to take apart and put back together then it was for him.
Love your videos!
Yeah I screwed up my 2ds when I tried to repair. The start, select, and X button didn't work after.
I’m currently having a problem with my 375 dollar special edition legend of Zelda link between worlds 3DS XL not charging
Thank you so much! Never thought i‘d ever need a video like this but my game reader stopped working. Will repair it soon :)

This is what my friend's switch looks like
Plz do a teardown of Xiaomi blackshark liquid cooled smartphone!! I Really wanna see tht liquid cooling system they say is present in the phone ! Hit lyk if u want it guys !! ☺
All about technology 24x7 I saw I video and it’s as thin a fingernail
Manual installing might be the reason slowing down manufacturing and causing Switch always oos?
The fact that nintendo has not come out with a new console in over 6 years is astonishing to me honestly
It's not hard to see why: it's basically a money printer at 125 million+ sold. They're going to ride this out for as long as they can.
Seriously? They did THIS to the unit battery? The Wii U battery was modular and not only replaceable but upgradable! The 3DS battery can be replaced! Why would they go backwards like this?
To stop people who don't know how to replace a battery from accidentally destroying their system, I guess.
Maniac536 the idea says you can replace it, but two years after buying my brand new new 3DS, it’s joystick went sour, so I disassembled it to be disappointed at the fact that the person who built the 3DS in the first place broke the inner screws.
SlyKing Polio I can relate my joystick broke too I had to buy a new one
And that active cooling will get eventually full of dust and Switch will start to overheat. Not smart for portable console.
Same market strategy as apple. Prevent consumers from repairing thier own systems. Thus creating revenue through repair and maintenance which only Nintendo can do. The idea here is to create a "locked" system.
P.S. if anything breaks on your Nintendo, you're supposed to ship it back to them.
this is like sausage party but with electronics they are screeming you just can't hear it
The Ledgend 27 At the end they'll have a massive orgy after killing all of the Nintendo switch users
Gary Wha? oh god
The Ledgend 27 legend has no "d"
Come on Jez.. The thermal compound, once disturbed must always be replaced.. Lol
John King it goes bad?
It does go bad over time when it dries up, but if you disturb the compound and re-attach the heat sink it can create inefficient air pockets that hinder the heat dissipation. Fresh compound is the key! I recommend Artic Silver5.
John King yep this made me cringe
It should also be applied in small amounts/thin layers. Unfortunately, the build quality of this product appears to prevent this. Gotta glob it on. So in this case, you'd probably be fine to just scrape it into a glob in the center of the contact area so that it makes good contact when it squishes back together. New thermal paste would of course be better, but be sure to use something viscous enough to keep its place bridging the gaps.
John King gezondheid
Helped me revive my kids water damaged Switch, life saver!
So you’re just going to keep playing on that fricked switch with messed up screen and detached joy con rail?
I doubt this is his main Switch
Hero Draws he said he wanted it to be working to play Zelda later
you can play it on your tv since it is a console
I hate the fact nintendo uses really weak types of screws in their devices, like they get stripped the second you start unscrewing
Your switch looks like it has been going to hell and back as a daily commute! :O
It socks me that the Nintendo switch is smaller than the Nintendo wii, and yet the switch can play at 1080P maintaining decently cooled gaming experience, such a cool little console. (no pun intended)
Nintendo Switch: **exists**
*This guy: time to open you up to see what we're dealing with*

girlsdrinkfeck :O TRAITOR THE NOKIA 3310 IS THE BEST INVENTION IN HUMAN HISTORY
Thank you for this video. I just replaced the motherboard on my OG Switch (died after Nintendo pushed an update and they refused to pay for the repairs). Back to playing!
That heatpipe is probably thicker than the one that the MacBook pro has
lol yea
Can you do the vita, I know it's old but it would be good comparison.
Laith Radhy Or the 3DS/New3DS
Terra Estrahl The only similarities is the the new 3DS and Switch use the same speakers.
Laith Radhy the vita is shit the 3ds is way better tbh
Have you played Killzone Mercenary on the VITA!?
RandomTube NOT-HD but thr vita has better 3rd party games, remote play with the much better ps4, has a better design/ UI and better graphics. Just because something sales more(like shit zelda) doesnt make it better than something else
Honestly, I think Nintendo intends to release different models of the SKU in relative quick succession. The way they made most parts very modular/Lego style makes me think that is what they plan on doing. The least they can do is redesign the cartridge slot since that seems to be having issues reading the cartridge. Also, they should put the charger port elsewhere like one on top and keep the one on the bottom for docking. I also think that they are doing a better dock that boosts CPU, GPU, and RAM since tear downs of the dock showed that it has a lot of empty space.
Which is a pretty shitty move, if you ask me. Really screws over faithful early adopters.
What do you want them to do? leave everyone to suffer? replace all the 'faithful early adopters' units?
Replacements are too expensive, keeping the system flawed is bad PR. I don't imagine they would even have another option.
GenoClysm Oh, I don't know, maybe release a fucking finished product. Instead, their initial launch sku is purposely hobbled so they can later release an upgraded version. It's what they do.
Worthless Opinion Hardware and software are two entirely different beasts. You can't day-one patch 'finish the product' in the hardware, it has to be finished many months in advance. Aside from that, nintendo tried to keep the price low, and had to make compromises to keep it so. There are many other reasons why the current switch release is what it is. Either way, telling them to release a better product for the same price after its already been released isint much of a request. They will do what makes economic sense at this point, as they did and always will.
I mean there's also the fact that nintendo doesn't give a fuck about early adopters(as they shouldn't) and is simply a corporation driven by profit. Everything they've done is downright realistic and smart from the suppliers perspective. The consumer can sit around and bitch about their entitlements to this and that all day, and nothing changes on nintendos end. Their online pay-for-it policy is downright fucking stupid in the eyes of the consumer, but it's dollar signs to them. Be realistic, whining about nintendos nonexistant obligation to early adopters is a waste of breath.
Psybladder501 Yes, another example. Nintendo isn't the only offender, obviously. This direction will only lead to the death of consoles. Maybe that's a good thing though.
This guys really combined the painful dismantling of an expensive device with such a calm voice, and zelda. Very nice UvU
"Inside review" is just Jerry seeing if he likes what it looks like
hey jerry. Nintendo just announced the nintendo switch LITE Can you durrabillity test it in a future video soon
Yeet jerry plz do thiz
Oof
So... the NS Lite is only going to launch in 20 September, so I think it's going to take a time until this video "Launch" (sorry the English, I'm Brazilian). Plz now use the Google translate, because I don't know how I'll say this in English. Put "Português Brasil" to "English"
Eu aho que ele só conseguiria trazer antecipadamente se conseguisse uma parceria que o permitiria ter o console antes de muitos e então fazer o vídeo antecipadamente.
Acho* not "aho".
I feel like I just watched someone beat up my best friend, you've torn apart something dear to me! lol
Scarier than any horror film, can't stand to watch a good switch get gutted :,-(
This is how I learned about technology
Don't lose your Joy-con. It might go *off the rails*. :3

my switch fan ramps up all the time and its really frustrating. Even in the menu.. I replaced the crusty thermal paste in hopes that would fix it and still no luck. Very frustrating. didn't seem to have any dust in the fan either.
When are you going to tear down joy-cons?
never it seems
Snush broters oltimiiiiit
He still hasn’t
still no D;
I tore down mine cause they stopped working properly
The character started moving on its own
this was actually so look to learn what’s happening when i’m using my switch! i really like your videos
Nintendo Switch is the best console ever made - because it finally runs Android!
Your telling me there is fricking old soft GUM inside my Nintendo switch!?
Huh I guess Nintendo I selling a consol and some free gum, taste test
The forbidden gum
Wonder if everyone having card reading problems, have just had that lego connector pop out in shipping or something?
It’s crazy how his switch STILL WORKS
did you buy 2 consoles? 1 for destroying and 1 for actually playing? or do you play zelda on that fucked up thing? xD
Aiviymatoc Urotsukidoji would be funny xD
he only said nintendo send him one
he probably just plays it docked
I dont think he cares too much on gaming.Hes more of tech stuff analysis. Cool for me if he disassemble something that I dont care besides informative knowledge.
“Accident” part got me Dead
ACCIDENTALLY snapped the joy con rail? lol
That memory module design is extremely smart
Classic Jerry 👌
@6:27 I don't know how you can play any game with the screen in that condition. Just a little pin scratch on my smartphone screen would drive me mad & would require a warranty replacement lol
"so I'm gonna leave my screen intact" so we not gonna talk about the marks on the screen
I'm glad I'm watching this since this can help me fix my Nintendo
Whoa, the Switch offers normal screws AND a headphone jack :)
And four abnormal screws
Note to self.never take your tech out in front of" jerry"
My switch has been in a rough year.. it has DUCT TAPE on it so the back doesn’t fall off.
What happened?
There's something so satisfying about something new being teared apart
