Nintendo Switch 2 Teardown Reveals Detailed Look at Nvidia Chip

Sure, let’s dive into this wacky adventure I stumbled upon this morning. So, picture this: the Nintendo Switch 2 has barely hit the shelves, and bam! Someone’s already ripping it apart. No joke! These tech wizards at ProModding on YouTube — I mean, who even has the guts, right? They dug into the heart of this slick new gadget, down to the Nvidia chip. Yeah, they’re basically surgeons with a screwdriver.

So, they kick things off by pulling screws here, there, everywhere. Like, bottom of the device, behind the kickstand. Sounds like a treasure hunt for screws! And hey, those Joy-Con slots? More screws hiding there too — sneaky little… Anyway.

Oh, the metal shielding! It reminds me of some kind of high-tech medieval armor. And of course, ProModding’s having none of that. They’re like, “Away with you!” A few screws later, it’s gone. Bye-bye, antennae too. Imagine going through all this just to say you’ve seen the console’s insides – dedication or madness? You decide!

And then — boom! — the motherboard. Out it comes and with it, a peek at this new Nvidia chip. There’s something about reading “GMLX30-A1” that just feels… important? Like, I don’t know electronics, but it sounds kinda cool, right? Reminds me of something from a sci-fi movie, those blueprints with futuristic codes.

Now, if you’re keen to see, like, every tiny piece of circuitry, ProModding’s got you covered. It’s like a Netflix special but for tech geeks. Though, let’s be real for a second. My hands would be shaking too much to bother trying this myself. You break one little screw, and oops, there goes the warranty. Nintendo would probably be like, “What’s wrong with you?” And they’d have a point.

And yes, the legal stuff! Apparently, you fiddle with your gadget, and your beloved Nintendo might turn into a brick. Like, seriously, they said it in their fancy End User License Agreement or whatever: tamper with it, and poof, your console is done. Kinda like mission impossible, but not as fun.

Anyway — wait, am I even on track? — yeah, so, tomorrow’s the big launch day, June 5. Techies everywhere are losing their minds. Meanwhile, I’m here watching others dig into gadgets online. It’s like living vicariously through their screwdrivers. So let’s keep watching folks on YouTube do the dirty work. They’re way braver than me.

Oh! Make sure to follow Tom’s Hardware on Google News, they say. They’ve got the scoop and reviews — if you’re into that sorta thing.

And there you have it. A teardown saga I never thought would capture my morning. Who knew, right?
