    So I decided to try to repair a Nintendo Switch Lite joystick. Long story short, I messed up. But at least the battery didn't explode on me. And geez, I should've known to remove that little connector attaching the battery to the motherboard.

    I would complain more, but I just can't. I mean, this is a full-blown computer in a compact case. It's brilliantly stupid. Stupidly brilliant. Anyways, I'll just recycle it now...

      Editing … Oh that sucks but I bet you can still sell it for parts. I repaired a pro controller stick once and that was doable but I also saw video's on how to do the joycons and that looked hard. A switch lite would be even more difficult I can imagine. I bet Nintendo would have fixed the stick for free though if you had sent it to them. I think they are legally bound to do so. I got my joycon repaired by them and it was pretty quick. My condolences though to your switch. :-P I guess lesson learned?

      Editing … Of course I didn't lose my saves. I got me Nintendo Switch OLED edition, so I got it on lock baby. I just...wish the Switch Lite wasn't so cheaply made. Lol.

      Editing … For the record, I can't imagine playing the Switch without at least removable Joycons. It feels far too cumbersome to hold as a huge tablet thing. That controller with the slide-in ports is so much more ideal. Smaller, easily removable parts are just so much less breakable.

      Editing … Also, I've had a much easier time repairing the DS systems and the Game Boys. I mean, I thought I could get away with the Switch Lite. The name sounds similar to DS Lite. I even watched some videos and figured that the deconstruction process was simple enough. Then I had to somehow separate the motherboard from the shell and it's a bit of a nightmare. Oh well.
