Bless you for this my friend.
I’ve had the issue with a very loud left trackpad and just fixed it or dramatically lowered the machine gun sound on the left trackpad.
Took me 20 minutes to complete and it was quite easy… but I have some experience tearing down my switch, joycons and other devices. It’s still doable for an unexperienced person to fix.
It’s way better than RMA but we shouldn’t be doing this for a device that costs that much. If this was Miyoo Mini or something of this caliber - sure. But not SD. I hope they level up their QC.
I ordered mine at 1:23PM so 23 mins after launch time and it’s stil ”packaged”. I wonder if it will be shipped this week…
I’ve always wanted OLED SD. I often praise how much better Switch OLED screen is and am frustrated because I like SD much more. It’s not a necessary upgrade but I can afford it and will sell the old SD which should cut the cost quite a bit.
This has fixed my issues with super loud left trackpad:
