This is refreshing to have a teardown that doesn't take the term too literally.
You can tell Spawnwave actually has skill and experience. He explains how things work instead of making excuses for breaking it.
There’s all types of people in the world. Even Nintendo Prime types. Witch is a good thing. Joy to all.
@@paintfatpurple7394 I'm a towel
@@paintfatpurple7394 nintendo prime broke his switch right. That was cool. A switch oled. Dude broke a switch oled. Great stuff.
Most people have skill (perhaps not experience though) and know how things work. I also tore down my Switch OLED (one of them anyway) and put it back together again just fine, quickly and easily. What Spawn Wave does here is nothing special and just about anyone else can do it too.
cough cough "austin evans"
I'd like to see RGT do one of these teardowns, and then reconstruct it all. That would be quite amusing.
"i gave up halfway and ordered a pizza."
Hah! Good one
Let's go Brandon! Like seriously
Yeah, that would indeed be the start of a new era for him. I think a huge black monolith would need to be delivered to him to kickstart things for him…
Dude couldn't handle labo cardboard haha
People've been saying it was assembled to be difficult, but you've handled the 3ds so you're ready for anything.
Having replaced a top 3D screen on a New 3DS XL I can tell you that’s exactly true mate ! 🤣
having worked on DS lites and 3ds'es, yeah, the switch is a piece of cake.
DS Lite... DSi and XL... 3DS and XL... yeah Switch is nothing compared to any of those. (Omitting the original DS since it's very friendly to work on lol)
@@ledidier15042000 that's the only thing I refuse to do myself.
Everything else I've done no problem. Just replaced parts on a faulty vita
Taking apart the Joycon is harder than taking apart the Switch, imo. And yea, I worked on a lot of O3DSes.
1:48 I'm fairly certain the kickstand is actually metal, not plastic, it's cool to the touch and sounds metallic when rubbed.
I miss when Spawnwave would pull out his trusty hammer during Tear Downs.
That's what got me to start watching him. I stayed for the news.
Facts.
I hope he takes a trip to Walmart to buy a 4K Switch dev kit.
Wait what? Link please
Makes sense to improve the stand for this model. If you buy a Switch with an improved screen you mostly likely use it in Portable mode most of the time
Besides screws, this is a very simple system to take apart. Considering my knowledge with building and repairing PC's of old and repairing my kiddos along with all her friends joycons and liquid cooling laptops on the regular, I find the build of this system really nice. Everything has a place and the management of all the cables, components is very well thought out.
Yeah, this is a cakewalk compared to any DS model (besides the 2DS XL).
Jon is very structured in the way he talks. I don’t think it’s rehearsed and it seems very natural. He’s really good at this.
Lmao, public speaking really isn't rocket science. As a law student, my talking skills have developed the more I participate in moots. Anyone can be a confident speaker if they put the work in.
@@cbgg1585 not everyone is definitely made for it though. John is concise in his mannerisms and speech and stays focused in the podcasts as well.
@@cbgg1585 being a confident public speaker doesn’t make one just as good at it as someone else. Jon IS quite good at explaining things, and being the most knowledgeable doesn’t always translate into being the best at explaining something
@@cbgg1585 ...good job? Do you want a cookie? We're just complementing his speaking skills.
Thanks!
The game card/sd card board looks like it's actually held in by 4 screws and a small locating pin, the other three screws go through both the board and the EMI shield. I'd say the rubber/foam piece on the board is purely for keeping pressure on the connector on the other side of the board, given it's location.
Its. NOT it's. (Last sentence.)
Thank you, it was irritating me when he kept saying the SD card board was held in place with only one screw.
“We’re well beyond the need for warranty stickers at this point” - Spawnwave, 2021
In the United States it's actually illegal to void your warranty for taking apart or using third party parts to repair your own electronics. They can only void it if they can prove you doing do caused the problem you're having them to repair to begin with. Even if there's an unrelated problem they must honor the warranty for anything that would be covered normally.
For example say you cracked part of the plastic in a joycon while fixing it but the screen randomly went out from a manufacturer defect they can't deny the warranty claim to fix that issue because of the other unrelated issue that you caused because the problem they are fixing is a defect they are required to fix it as long as it's still within the time of the warranty.
Spread the word and tell your friends that yes they do have the right to repair their own devices in the United States and maybe other places depending on the local laws.
@@MatthewGarbett Not just in the US, I'm pretty sure in all of the EU the same applies. You cannot deny someone their warranty unless they broke their device via negligence, so taking it apart and putting it back together is always fine so long as you don't break it while doing so.
@@SilimSavertin in my country (Croatia) they try to deny your warranty for the smallest of things and we are in the EU. You have to fight them mostly and threaten them by contacting the manufacturer, consulting a lawyer or contacting an organization that specializes in sure rights before they do anything. It's getting better, but really slowly -.-
Found them stocked at walmart. The lady was like “what’s this” lol.
Already seen a couple of other teardowns for Switch OLED, but always interested what Spawn makes of things
Not only was your video educational-it was fun. You bring clarity and energy to this technical breakdown. Thank you for your help today-and for sharing such talent!
I love your console videos so much because you get down to the nitty-gritty. I'm more of a PC guy but love to see what's going on in all the consoles. I do love my 2017 Switches.
OOH, been waiting for this 😄 We all knew it was coming but still!
Could have watched other teardowns these last few weeks, but I'm glad I waited for Jon to do it💪🏽
Sounds like another impressive breakdown, some good changes in the new system, at the cost of complications to repairs. The trade off always goes somewhere. I do like spawn wave reflects on how it affects the one doing the repairs.
Great video spawnwave love your teardown videos, it's so cool to learn how things work inside of the switch oled and other consoles.keep up the great work have a good day. 😊
Very cool also I've been a subscriber sense 6k subs loved your videos for a few years
May I just say I am very thankful to see you actually take down the stand and hinge to give a "full" teardown. I am seeing small wobblieness in my stand and I have been looking for a teardown for two days. Thanks!
Love this channel man, keep up the good work.
I kinda miss how in the older videos, he would play his site theme music and speed up the video as he reassembled the device.
Same, now it's clickbait titles and long winded explainations
Love your teardowns ! 🤗
Only tear down I’ll watch
Why don't you marry his tear downs if you love them so much.
🤗
There's a freakin WhatsApp bot WTH
Hell yeah he just tears that shit down like it’s nothing, when he took apart the Panasonic q that shjt was crazy
“A part that’s easy to replace” yes because these companies are the most understanding when it comes to repairing one’s own console.
Here's hoping right-to-repair legislation takes off...
Well I mean, that also applies to being easier for their own engineers and enabling quicker turn arounds.
What it tells you is that a lot of companies think it’s worth making things much harder, and more expensive, for their own techs to work on, just for the sake of discouraging 3rd party or home repair.
@@axelkusanagi4139 seems unlikely....
But we should be preserving good tech and shaming the throw away models companies use
My experience with the Switch is that, the parts are easy to find... And looking at this OLED model, yeah looks like the parts are not going to be hard to replace and hence we will have parts coming for them
@@goonerOZZ Wonder if it would be possible to install an OLED screen into an old switch model.
I have adhd but the way he explains everything it so great i can follow along so easy without getting distracted at all. You sir get a like and a favorite
It makes perfect sense to put all of the user accessible plugs on one board, servicing will be dramatically simplified when basically all of your most common problems are the same component.
Manufacturing and storage costs for one big board is probably cheaper than manufacturing and storage on three little boards. Even if the one part contains everything the three separate parts had, logistics costs outweighs the spare component costs.
Took it to the next level and replaced joycon shells while watching this. Always love your teardowns.
Cool TechWave video Jon(SW).
Nice Teardown of the OLED Switch Model, afew interesting different things inside but nothing too major overall tho.
I think you’re the best teardown guy out there. Great stuff
was LITERALLY watching a oled tear down vid when I saw the notif
Love your teardowns
I did t watch any other tearing apart waiting for yours! :)
Been waiting so long for ur tear down lol
Very interesting to see the inside of the Switch OLED!
Why...to see how crap it is lol
@@djj1 says the guy commenting on a switch oled tear down video 😂😂
its only crap cuz u cant afford it. gotta fund em all! brokemon!
It is different enough.
The major fail is the same tegra X1 in 2021.... hopefully next Gen will keep this chip as a secondary for backwards compatibility
@@70smebbin my ssd in PS5 cost more than this crap lol
I waited to watch this teardown, before any other. 😁
Man that was about damn time
I love your videos!
Oh yes, it’s Sunday and Jon is taking apart the Oled model. I like it.
Always love it when you tear things apart.
Sounded like that kick stand is metal when he set it down. Nintendo really went far with that upgrade.
It's FINALLY here!!!
The tear down videos are my favourite
this is like the mirror opposite of when Wood takes anything apart
I felt the battery unplugging was aimed specifically at him.
@@redsyn "this is pretty much the first thing you should do (Wood)"
Poor Wood... that "just died inside" look on his face was priceless :)
Great job
avoided all the other tear down videos to see yours.
That sticker could be a QC sticker, as opposed to a warranty sticker. A QC (or quality control) sticker is used to guarantee that a certain critical component is installed. In the case of a screw it would be placed by a separate person/robot to show that the presence of a screw was checked, and is in fact there.
Incredible how i’m still waiting for my pre-order of a console no one apparently wanted.
My favorite I love the teardowns
Thanks for this teardown! Does this contain the same M92T36, BQ24193 and PI3USB ICs that are on the OG Switch and Switch Lite? I qsk because fixing consoles is my job but I can't get my hands on one to pull apart myself
Metroid Dread 1
13:34
Was that a shot at me? XD I hope so.
two people going straight to new tech hell: spawnwave and jerryrigseverything
I'm waiting for the dock teardown.
That kick stand sounded like metal when he put it down, that’s good cause I thought it was hard plastic
Hey Spawn, would you be so kind and create a video on which original Switch accessories still work with the Switch OLED and which don't?
Woo hoo spawnwave time
Well my man finally got his hand on an OLED System.
It looked like when fully assembled the card daughter board is also secured by one of the external (triwing) screws?
It looks like the new kickstand is actually made of metal
Haven't watched this all yet so it may be mentioned in the video, but hoping there's a controller teardown too, to check for any improvements
Nice job
I had an og switch from day one launch and the fan quit on it months ago and I could only play it docked for 20 min before it would overheat and shut down. It would never overheat while in handheld mode though. I traded it in for $200 towards an oled model lol.
It's surprising to see how well Nintendo engineers things to require very few actual parts.
Like to see a teardown of the dock next.👍
You lift the back so easily. Damn it I lost my mind
Can’t wait for the replacement shells to drop for this model.
The fact that spawn:s wearing a MOTHER T-shirt…mad respect 💯
Truly a piece of hardware worth every dollar.
Servicing my own Nintendo products has always been the easiest. I never have to solder anything. I wish Microsoft made their stuff modular.
What a slap In the face. Not any notable upgrades besides the screen and some hinges, when all we really needed was a hardware refresh...
Awe. I miss the speed rebuild during the credits.
You so much like me to tinker with electronics so cool ,you should do a switch link up to a Ps 5 Controller it looks great combined with the the black and white look hopefully Nintendo makes controllers to match the colour scheme
I just want to know where you got that amazing Mother shirt
You know, I tune into these teardowns expecting to see the hammer, but no sight or mention of it. Did you guys have a falling out or something?
Could you make a battery replacement tutorial, please? I'm really struggling to find one specifically for the OLED Switch...
can you tear it down and then install an airtag (that was torn down to it’s necessary internals) in there somehow?
I'm curious if they've actually made any tangible internal improvements to the joycons packaged with the OLED model Switch, or if they're the same as the old joycons
did you manage to put everything together as it was?
Always amazes me on how Nintendo keeps paving the way for Handheld Consoles are being built.
Most modular which is actually nice.
Some things though man....
FINALLY!
nice looking tablet
Next model Nintendo will put 2 plastic hinges just because spawn praised it
Interesting to see how they had to compress a lot of the modular pieces of the board, which showed me how Nintendo's design was shifting towards the better
But hey, I get why they had to do it, so I won't lose sleep over it
Thanks
I hope we get replacement kickstands for the OLED model
!SpawnWave is the original 'teardown erer... '🥴😂🤣🤣
“You need to go quite a few screws deep…” Been there, man.
Virgin.
no lube lmao
I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS. I didn’t watch any other tear down yet because I love yours the most. You’re always so in depth and it’s appreciated because it’s given me confidence to open my consoles! 🙏🏼
do the rails swap with the old chassis? all Im interested in tbh
The small board has 3 screws holding it in, it just shares screws with the back cover. Just normal for small devices
Hey spawnwave, i highly doubt you would see this comment but i recently started having wifi issues with the oled, seems to be the antenna as im unable to find any network (used to troubleshoot for a living, so yes i went through everything)
Im not the first person to have this issue and it may become a more common issue down the road.
Any reason for the poor antenna connection?
They had too consolidate too accommodate the big hinges for the kickstand
curious if you put a stronger graphics chip in the switch does it work?
I have a problem with my Switch OLED. Recently I discovered that my oled Switch has a loose back Cover where the small vents are. Every time I slightly touch it, it feels loose. Can somebody please help me with that?
Hello, I've opened my nintendo switch (OLED), but when I assembly it back, it does not open.
Tried the procedure of reassembly 4 times.
Any ideas?
The cables and cable tapes are all in place.
Help, I am newbie indeed.
Have I damaged it?
I just ordered mine i go to get it in the morning.
The hinges will never need to be replaced, they look sturdy enough. The plastic around it will break.
My fan started making noise a few days ago. It only makes noise when playing a game though. I tried to clean the vents with air duster but it still makes noise. And since I treat my switch like a princess I'm just going to replace the whole fan. I got it ordered, everything will be here Wednesday or Thursday. Is there anything I should know before I do it? Im going to replace the thermal paste but leave the pink paste, I read somewhere that's what you should do. But I just want to make sure everything goes smoothly. I would hate to lose all my progress in my games
Me: knows absolutely nothing about circuit boards/ electronics/ etc
Also me: FINALLY I've wanted to see this for SO LONG
Hey! I have a question. I have a v2 switch, which is 1 month old only, and the fan started to make a rattling noise. I opened it up and checked that the fan was a foxconn one. I replaced it with a delta one. Anyone that knows about this stuff, spawn wave also if you read this, changing fan brands could make something go bad in the switch? considering that the foxconn fan pulled 5v 0.32a and the delta 5v 0.33a? I also feel like the delta is spinning more time, the old one stopped more often and i think that saves a little battery. I also did a paste change and put some mx4 on it
I wonder if anyone could make a custom backplate for the original to have that kick stand 😅
