I recently had to replace the battery on my switch and while the replacement worked (thank you to those who pointed me towards that solution), some of the guides I found could have been better.

    Overall the tear down is fairly straight forward, but when it comes to taking out the battery… the thing is really STUCK in there. A quick google led me to identifying IPA or isopropyl alcohol as a way to remove the adhesive. Now , this worked, it worked well… but the amount of cleanup to come after was not worth it. Having a convo about this later with buddies led to the conclusion that perhaps using a hair blower to remove the adhesive may have been easier and better as to not make a mess with liquids! (Some of the ipa made it to the front of my screen lol)

    That being said, word to the wise … if you use ipa … don’t use too much… and maybe consider another option 🤣🤣🤣
