@HowToX Can you show us how to fix Zr and ZL on joy con acting like Home button when it’s not the home button because I have that problem and I tried everything everything does not work
Wow the cardboard actually worked. My Zl kept spamming but it fixed it after literally a few swipes. It’s a third party controller so I’m not surprised but I just bought it literally yesterday
I'm shocked of how easy this thing is to fix. it seems like nintendo is thinking of repairmen in mind. after all, something easier for us to fix also makes it easier for them to fix.
Hey. Thank you so much for the tutorial. I made it all the way to the end and put it. Act together only to realize it wouldn’t post up. So had to take it apart again and found I didn’t get the rim first ribbon snapped in correctly. So now it powers up but the ZL button still doesn’t work. I ordered a replacement part on eBay. Thank you for the suggestion. I wanted to let you know I was able to take everything apart with a simple eye glasses repair kit I picked up at the check out line at my grocery store. Screw driver size works perfectly for all the screws and I used a pair of tweezers from my medicine cabinet to remove the pin. Thanks again!
I tried to fix the ZL button mushy button but turns out someone spilled Pepsi or Malta and the metal part was sticky but I ended accidentally ripping the Ribbon that leads to ZL with that thing you have but my repair tool was pointy and sharp so I put everything back together and only ZL button has no Input so I just bought the Repair Parts for $6 instead of $9.75 and thats so easy to replace
thank you so much man.. i got this old pro controller lying around that i found yesterday which the R trigger button is unresponsive just jumped in method 1 and it now works perfectly
Another tip: I had a trigger start to feel loose. What had happened was it's worn out over time, and the plastic was dislodging the metal bar. All I had to do was take it out, and fit it back in snug, while leaving some exposed to remove it in the future if need be. I thought I was going to have to replace the entire trigger bracket / thought a piece of plastic broke.
hey idk know how to fix this but i hope you can help because my nintendo controller only works if i hold down the home button and this only happens over steam
Thanks for the video turns out there was a piece of plastic under zl button which blocked me from pressing it. Also was the reason why it was making weird noise when shaking
does this also work with the PowerA wired Nintendo switch controller? im having problems with my R button, AND my A button. because i discovered that i could use my controller to play minecraft on my chromebook. but the R button and the A button does not respond or work at all when i try changing the minecraft setting controlls and im not used to some of the controlls since they dont work
I've notice I use the same tool set as you in 5:43, I have to say that's a very cheap set with poor quality. The drivers head are very soft so it mass both heads and screws while you turn it. Also, it's too thick to reach certain screws which are deep in the pro controller.
Yo, I always enjoy the vids and the tips. Even if its an issue I never had and/or do not have the system or whatever. Pretty cool of ya though, thank you. Cheers and beers
hey none of the outside methods worked and i dont have a screwdriver to get inside my controller. the zl button is sorta stuck in an "always on" state. i've had this happen a couple times with my zr but just pressing it hard always seemed to work and this time it isn't. is there anything else i could try? i'm very emotional towards objects and don't want to get a new controller.
I absolutely LOVE the thorough breakdown, explanations, and timely execution of this tutorial. The views and angles were AMAZING! Literally, EVERYTHING! 🔥 The close visual attention to details like "slightly pull and push the rubber device on both sides until it's fully locked or latched flush in place" is EXCEPTIONAL at best. Of course, that is me paraphrasing as I think back or recollect the moment. I was equally impressed when I saw that your "Reassemble" section of the video with instructions was just as accurate and easily formatted as taking the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller apart for the repair portion. GENIUS! Articulation and follow-through are unmatched, even for someone of my beginner-friendly caliber and level of expertise. Your how-to, along with the product descriptions and links, are really TOP-NOTCH! Thank you for sharing. Please keep up the GREAT work! Job, WELL-DONE!

I'm having trouble with Cross control and home button there acting up and it was working fine this morning and I got it from my roommate and he had it collecting dust in his shelf. And I been using it since 2022 😔
mine only works if I am holding A. I'm using it on pc and only for Elden ring so its not a huge deal but if any one knows how to fix it i would much appreciate it.

Im so happy the first 3 methods worked. I didn't want to open up my limited edition controller! Life saver
This is by far the best cleaning tutorial for the switch pro trigger buttons. Thank you so much!

What do you mean by spamming?

thanks I have a special brush I use in order to clean my ear buds and they worked perfectly without opening the controler
Thanks for the video turns out there was a piece of plastic under zl button which blocked me from pressing it. Also was the reason why it was making weird noise when shaking
You saved me money, it works man👍👍👍👍👍 great job

Thank you so much! I was able to fix my L button

Video worked and fixed my controller thanks!!
Thank you so much method 1 worked for me!
Thank you so much. Best tutorial ever🔥🔥

The 1st one worked tysm

Thank you so much❤😊
Yo, I always enjoy the vids and the tips. Even if its an issue I never had and/or do not have the system or whatever. Pretty cool of ya though, thank you. Cheers and beers

the air cannister seemed to work the best. the cardboard didnt do much.
Highly engaging!

Bro, are you trying to ensure my controller is broken💀
I need help with my ralthy controller
It helped my 10 year old son
mine only works if I am holding A. I'm using it on pc and only for Elden ring so its not a huge deal but if any one knows how to fix it i would much appreciate it.
Forgetting the Bluetooth device and reconnecting it works but the problem starts again after a little.
My zr just spams, nothing works
It looks loose and I think my finger slipped and knocked it out of place
It’s the works. I just wanted to be firm.

Am i the only one WHOs seeing the ai Filter
There's no AI in this video. Why would there need to be?
Naaahhhh i just used a hammer
