Nintendo Switch 2 Teardown Reveals In-Depth Look at Nvidia Chip

Sure thing, here’s a version of your article with a bit more human touch:

So, here we go—the Nintendo Switch 2 is barely out, and already someone’s pulled it apart. I mean, folks don’t waste time, right? This YouTube channel, ProModding, has gone and opened it up, like full-on surgery. They even got a microscope out to peek at all the tiny circuits. Kind of wild, if you ask me.

Now, there’s this video, “Nintendo Switch 2 Disassembly and review under the microscope,” for those who get a kick out of seeing tech in pieces. Ever wonder what’s inside these gadgets? Me neither, but here we are, talking about it.

So, the whole teardown kicks off with screws underneath and behind the kickstand—screwy business. Then there are these screws on the colorful bits where you connect the Joy-Cons. Once those are out, it all just sort of—comes apart. Really? That simple?

Lots of metal in there. The ProModding folks dealt with it using, yes, more screwdrivers—after unhooking antennae, that is. Then there’s the cooler, because apparently, consoles need cooling too, just like my old car on a summer day. Battery out, motherboard next. A bit of prying here, some thermal paste mess there, and voila, the new Nvidia chip is out in the open. GMLX30-A1 — sounds like a code for a secret spy gadget, right? And apparently, leaks hinted about this back in 2024. Who knew?

Oh, and if you need a close-up tour of every IC on the board, ProModder’s got you. They’re all about those microscopic details. It sounds like a teardown that’s not too tricky—unless you’re me and can’t even handle an Ikea shelf without a meltdown. But really, don’t try this at home. It’s probably gonna void your warranty or worse, brick your shiny new toy. Not to mention Nintendo’s updated terms—they say bust it, and your console might just stop working, forever. Talk about risky business.

Nintendo, I’m sure, has their fancy repair manuals on standby for tech wizards. But until it’s official, which apparently is like, tomorrow, June 5th, we get to enjoy these teardown marathons on YouTube. Seriously, there’s something oddly fascinating about it.

By the way, if you’re into tech news, you can follow Tom’s Hardware on Google News. Loads of stuff there, if you remember to hit that Follow button.

And there you have it. A whole new level of electronic peekaboo, courtesy of ProModding. But hey, if gadgets must be opened, might as well watch someone else do it.
