Like many other devices, the Nintendo Switch 2 It has a post-sale service which offers users the possibility of repairing their consoles with original parts, which could already find it in the first version of the console and is very common among all these type systems. But with the departure of the second version, we now see that things have changed a lot in terms of price, in Japan, the repairs of certain parts exceed almost 170 $.
The arrival of To change 2 He did not catch anyone by surprise, we knew that he would launch into the world in the first two weeks of this month, although Nintendo Wait for the last moment to announce it. Among other things, the reason they expected to expect was to announce the price difference that the new version was going to have with regard to the previous model. Now, we know that it is not only the games, the console itself or even the accessories that have increased by prices, the repairs offered by the company in their country of origin have also changed, which means that certain parts become 90% more expensive to replace.
The 2 spare parts switch is at the price of Japan and have downloaded a lot
It is normal for anyone that a console undergoes damage, this occurs with all portable devices due to the ease of fall while we use them, also taking into account the compression of the equipment is easy that something breaks for this reason or for many others. This is why there is a repair service that tries to offer users the possibility of not having to pay the high price to use a console, if an order is broken, we can change it, if this happens with one of the ports also and there are even times when the plate itself can change.
THE Switch 2 It will offer these services, but prices are very different from what many users may think, not only is the console more expensive than the previous version, the version spare parts They are too. On the official assistance page in Japan, the company announced the prices that each piece has changed and there are previous versions compared to its previous versions. The replacement of the equipment itself (plate and CPU) has a price of ¥ 27,500, the conversion to dollars is around $ 167, compared to what it cost to replace the OLED version, the change is $ 67 because it costs ¥ 16,500, the equivalent of $ 100.
In general terms, it is understandable that the plate is more expensive, at the end, it is the base of the console, but in addition to that, the company also increased the price of everything else, even due to the superficial damage in the platform which used ¥ 550 and now there are ¥ 880. The repair of the platform if it does not show video production costs the equivalent of $ 42 while in the OLED model, it was 24 $ and all this not to mention the normal version which cost 20 $.
Other parts such as a slot machine for defective gaming cards, audio problems, replacement of the USB type-C port or a change of battery also have much higher prices, before all of this concludes the same type of repair and cost of $ 37, but now they have divided it, the most complicated parts of the replacement (USB-C port, battery, slot for game cards) will cost the equivalent to $ 60.
We must always know if the repair prices will be the same in the world or if it will only apply to Japan, but know that the trend that the company must make quite expensive in other countries would not surprise us if these pieces are much more expensive in the rest of the world.
