    Yeah, it is harder to do. Specifically

    • you need to remove stickers in a way that you can replace them, if you want to keep them looking good
    • You need to undo glue, iFixit used isopropyl alcohol and force
    • Once you’re in its fairly easy to replace parts, but Nintendo don’t supply parts
    • Batteries are glued down, you need to destroy the foam beneath them to get the batteries out, Nintendo don’t sell replacement foam, or even a specification for the foam

    By being harder it will be more costly to repair

      This part I’m not so concerned about. It sucks but still doable.

      Yeah, see, that part I take issue with. That’s not doable.

      That’s what I meant in my original comment.
