NOTE: at 2:58 when I remove the plastic from the volume switch, a subscriber informed me that they broke the switch trying to pull that piece off. I'm not positive, but this leads me to believe Nintendo used different switches throughout the SP lifecycle where some had removable covers, and some were single piece. If it feels difficult to remove this piece, do not keep going as you may permanently damage the volume switch. In this case I'd recommend just leaving it alone and accepting the gray color!
