Overall the teardown reveals the Switch to be a modular, very repairable unit (earning an overall repairability score of 8 out of 10 from iFixit), with the only barriers to self-repair (and possibly some modding and hacking) being some proprietary screws and a difficult-to-replace display and digitizer.
