iFixit has rated the Nintendo Switch 2 with a repairability score of 3 out of 10, a significant drop from the original Switch's 4 out of 10. This decline is attributed to the use of strong adhesives, soldered components, and hidden screws, which complicate repairs. The battery removal process is particularly challenging, often requiring special tools and resulting in potential damage to the device. Nintendo has not provided official repair documentation or parts for either console, further complicating maintenance efforts for users.
"The Switch 2's repairability score is severely low due to several design choices, making it harder for users to perform replacements and repairs."
"Glued components and soldered parts significantly complicate repair efforts, highlighting a trend of poor design for sustainability and longevity."
