Switch 1 Maintenance and Mods
14So, I've been wanting to mod my own Switch for a long time, but didn't feel comfortable until now (especially since I have a Switch 2) due to fear of breaking it. This is a project that took me a few days, partially due to several surprises that I discovered. It's also a long video so bear with me. There are timestamps if you want to skip ahead.
