minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish57•22 days agoIf just the board costs $124, then Nintendo charging $175 for replacement seems totally reasonable. $51 for labour isn’t bad.

minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish13•22 days agoWow $175? That’s pretty good in today’s world lol
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish7•22 days 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.
