Nintendo Switch Technician Fundamentals

About this course

The Nintendo Switch is one of the best-selling consoles of all time, and millions of them live in homes, schools and repair shops. This hands-on course turns you into a confident Switch technician.

Starting from the inside out, you will learn the hybrid hardware that makes the Switch tick, how to open it safely, how to clean and maintain it, how to diagnose the classic faults (Joy-Con drift, dead screens, charging failures, docking issues) and how to fix them.

You will also learn the legal side of the Switch - what custom firmware and homebrew really are, what is legal, what is not, and how to manage saves, microSD storage and your game library responsibly.

By the end you will be able to service a Switch from open to close, explain its faults clearly, and handle mods and backups the right way.
