I recently changed the battery of my Switch 1, if for most of the process it was easy, and I really struggled on two points. 1) the plastic part into which the screws are screwed broke, and it is tough to remove them. 2) ungluing the battery with isopropyl alcohol without breaking anything was very long for me. I recently changed the USB port of my Fairphone 4 and it was just unscrewing and screwing. So for me it is a great change from Nintendo.

There's been some recent developments with removing batteries glued to the device: use floss or some other thin string and saw through the glue. The string won't pierce the battery and can fit in tight spots.

I remember same floss-hack used to work to replace a smartphone screen without replacing touchscreen

Oh how far we fallen

I used floss as indicated in ifixit comments, but the glue did not saw easily (I'm not dexterous).

I usually just cut a "knife" out of a cereal box and saw back and forth.

That's clever.

why are you changing a USB port on a phone?

[Kankuro]

At some point, only charging worked (and for one usb-c cable only on one side, which is weird given connecter is symmetrical), data and usb-audio stopped working. With my previous Samsung phone contact became very unreliable after 3 years. A new connector costs only a few euros, but I cannot do the soldering by myself and it cost me around 40€.
