I am considering having an extra switch that I have repaired but I am avoiding it because I already had issues in the past when I needed technical support for other things. Nintendo support isn’t an option because they will replace it.

Could you share your experience when having services like these done here in Van and how everything went?

Thanks fellow lemmins!

    It isn’t that most things are not repairable. It’s that it isn’t repairable economically.

    For the company that produces the internal boards at “cost” it’s easier and more predictable for them to replace the part than pay a tech a 100 dollars an hour to maybe fix it.

    It’s also a function of the entire cost of the unit. When someone pays 20k for a bespoke piece of equipment paying a tech to fix it is more attractive.
