Hardware what the hell happened to my switch?

[Deleted User]

EDIT: so i found out what actually happened to it, and for any future souls who have someone that's obsessed with nail polish and leaves the bottle of nail polish remover just lying around, KEEP YOUR SWITCH AS FAR AWAY FROM IT AS YOU CAN. acetone got on mine, and, well... look what happened to it

Damage report:

WTF is that

Judging from the general filthiness of your surroundings, it might just be some killer bacteria in your home

Does it boot? My first guess is the battery leaked. Just about the only thing in the console that has a form of liquid.

Looks like someone bust their nut over your switch

Maybe the battery leaked does it power on and work? maybe something got spilled there and nobody noticed. I would take it apart and check the battery if it was mine but that voids your warranty. And the kickstand snaps back on if you didnt know

if it did melt would this be the first ever recorded case of a switch melting?

Looks like a Battery leak to me

as i said, if the battery leaked would it just, not work anymore? it was on for the entirety of those 2 days, just in sleep mode

WTF is that white stuff.
Your switch jacked off.

It does look like a battery leakage.

 

[hobbledehoy899]

I believe it to have melted.

Is the wood table affected? If it is it might be a reaction to the finish on the wood.. The battery is on the opposite side of where the reaction took place.

Um, yes they can. If you have the money to buy a Switch, you have the money to buy a broom and a rubbish bin.

It melted from the battery acid.

So, what you're implying is that you're living in filth and aren't willing to do anything about it?

 

[hobbledehoy899]

It melted from the battery acid.

Oh, it wasn't just from static heat?
