minus-squaredanAlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up52·1 day agoIf just the board costs $124, then Nintendo charging $175 for replacement seems totally reasonable. $51 for labour isn’t bad.
minus-squareToga65@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up11·1 day agoWow $175? That’s pretty good in today’s world lol
minus-squaredanAlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·1 day agoThat’s the price in Japan - it’d likely be higher in the USA, plus the motherboard itself would also cost more due to tariffs.
minus-squarePonyOfWar@pawb.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up17·edit-21 day agoYeah, especially since replacing the mainboard is not trivial work at all. I assume it’s probably more expensive outside Japan though, with the weak yen etc.
