Description: Inner workings of the Nintendo Switch with its hardware and the distribution of the components. Here you can see the mainboard, the battery, microchips and the fan of the system-on-a-chip (NVIDIA Tegra). The black accumulator occupies a large part of the area. To the left you can see the fan that blows the heat out of the case. The adjacent heat pipe conducts the heat from the thermal paste and the SoC to the fan. To the left of the heat pipe are the headphone interface components. On the top left you can see the components of the Nintendo Switch game cards. On the left in the middle you can see the eMMC memory, which serves as internal memory. Bottom left is the MicroSD card reader area (not pictured) that overlies the sheet metal. To the right, under the thermal paste, is the NVIDIA Tegra SoC. To the right of the graphics chip is the LPDDR RAM in the form of 2 RAM chips, each offering 2 GB of memory. To the right of the RAM is the M92T36 643644 chip, which is supposed to control charging of electric current via USB-C. Below you can see the USB-C port. The 2R2 component on the right is used for the SMD power inductor. At the bottom left and bottom right of the picture you can see the speakers labeled "G6N20V4A 2D12B".
