Greetings BArcadians 🤖

We hope this How To video helps you if you’re facing a similar issue with your Nintendo Switch fan!

Credit of course to iFixit via Craig Lloyd who provided the step-by-step instructions Tabz followed- which are referred to via screenshots in the video 🥳

Link below ⬇️ ⬇️

It took Tabz about an hour to complete- taking things slowly and methodically 🧐

You’ll notice that Tabz decided not to re-paste the red-coloured thermal compound between the heat pipe and the outer shell... but best practice is probably to complete this at the same time.
We’ve included an Amazon link to some K5 Pro thermal paste, below, as suggested by iFixit 👍

Any questions- please ask away in the comments section 💭

All links for the equipment used ⬇️

Meddle with your Switch at your own risk however! We aren’t professionals and this was very much a DIY attempt 😅
