Dad’s still trying to make a connection here…

The fan in my Nintendo Switch has deteriorated to the point that I’m going to have to replace it. It’s not too complicated a procedure. I should be able to pop a new fan in without much trouble. It’s not like back in the day when things broke & it was nearly impossible to fix them unless you had the secret knowledge. In spite of big companies trying to strip consumers of their right to repair we can still fix our own stuff without having to pay them if we have a decent grasp of the internet & the ability to follow instructions. I’ve seen enough videos of people opening them just to look around I feel pretty confident. I’m going to be really annoyed if I fuck it up. Animal Crossing sort of requires you to play every day & if I break the Switch who knows when I’ll be able to do anything about it. If the new fan doesn’t work, or I screw things up, I think I could probably rig a stand up with a usb fan in it out of Lego & just use that until I can make a permanent fix. But that’s just a worse case scenario. I’ll let you know how it goes on Wednesday, if the box actually gets here on time.
