Switch Battery replacement, disassembly and repair method




If the battery of the Nintendo Switch has become bad or expanded, you will need to replace the battery, but we will publish the disassembly repair method when you change the battery yourself.
The expansion of the battery is difficult to understand on the outside, but it is a signal of battery expansion if the gap of the liquid crystal seems to be widening compared with the past.
