Advice sought for #repaircafe inclined people.

Anyone done a #NintendoSwitch fan replacement before?

@summerbeth 's Switch has a dying fan. Very loud and grumbly (the fan, not her!)

A professional repair is about £70.

Buying the parts and tools myself would be about £20. The video guides make the repair look tricky, with ample opportunity to screw up.

External USB fans are about a tenner.

Buying a new console - even 2nd hand - is at least £150.

Buggeration!

The Y00 Tri-Wing screwdriver seems too big for the Nintendo Switch's screws.

At this rate I'm going to have a bigger tool collection than game collection!

@Edent you might as well speedrun screwdriver collection and get ifixit kit with every bit possible.
