Nintendo Switch 2 Display Endures 50 Strikes with Pliers — Testing Proves Its Exceptional Durability

Sure thing. Here’s a revamped version of the article for you:

So, check this out. There’s this YouTube guy, JerryRigEverything—I mean, what a name, right? Anyway, he totally shredded a Nintendo Switch 2 to bits just to see what’s inside. Guts and all. And surprisingly, he liked what he saw. The host, Zack Nelson, seemed stoked that most parts are, like, really modular. Weirdly, even the Joy-Con sticks and headphone jack have that whole mix-and-match vibe going on. No idea why I fixated on this, but it’s kinda cool.

Despite the noise about higher repair bills because of fancy parts? Turns out, taking this thing apart isn’t brain surgery. Just grab a Phillips screwdriver and this odd tri-point tool thing—really makes you wonder who comes up with these, right? And voilà, it’s like LEGO for grown-ups. Zack put it back together and bam! It worked like a charm.

But… and there’s always a ‘but’—those batteries. Glued down. Ugh. Unlike the very-first Switch where things were a breeze, now you’re gonna need to drizzle a ton of alcohol and give it some tough love. Also, heads up, the game card slot and USB-C ports? Yeah, not swapping those out unless you fancy messing with the whole motherboard. I mean, unless you got a mini soldering hobby, then, uh, you do you.

Oh, wait. Did I mention the screen? Right, Zack yanked off the screen protector first thing. You know, it’s like seat belts for your screen—to keep shards from flying everywhere if it breaks. Cars do that, yeah? Anyway, he somehow reassembled the thing, minus one twitchy motor, and then came the real fun. Dude went at it with these huge channel lock pliers. And honestly, who even owns those?

He gave it about 50 whacks before the screen finally gave way. Glass everywhere. But a quick reset and guess what? The thing still booted up, albeit with a very death-metal aesthetic. Hardcore, right? Nintendo, clearly not playing games when it comes to durability. Toss it, drop it, maybe it’ll survive. Or maybe you might ruin your warranty doing dumb things. Just saying.
