So I got this Nintendo Switch Lite for pretty cheap (~ half the going rate) mostly because it was parental locked and the seller wasn't aware they could unlock it without knowing the passcode. Physically the console looks immaculate and came with the original box. So after getting Nintendo to unlock it for a small fee ($0.99) I then noticed that the Y button would stick pretty hard. I have a feeling some kid spilled something on the console so let's pop it open and inspect the damage. Also might as well reapply thermal paste while I'm at it. Did I score an amazing deal with just a little bit of cleanup or did I just get a ticking timebomb that'll require a hazmat level of cleaning? Watch to find out!
