Huge Criticism: If you're going to bring up how you should turn the battery off before disassembling the joy con, mention it in the beginning of the video and not near the end. My left joy con no longer connects simultaneously with the right one, and I'm certain the reason why was because I dismantled it while the battery was still on.
You should always watch the whole video before attempting. YDI.
Dude thats not even a huge problem
@@monyty1542 yes it is bro, it means he can only use it alone
I have the same problem. Mine left controller cannot connect to the right one after replacing the joy con. Any solution?
always disconnect power in anything you are disassembling, #1 step in every eletronic disassembly
Hey, I work in IT break fix(among other things IT) if it hasnt been beaten to death yet.
ALWAYS turn off the power and disconnect any power source before full disassembly as to prevent shock to yourself and the board which will cause a host of problems.
DO NOT do this or other disassembly on carpet for similar causes above and ground yourself.
Use AN OBNOXIOUS AMOUNT OF LIGHT and a magnifier to always see what you're doing.
Count screws and map them bc 1 size does not fit all and can break the barrel and will not reassemble correctly.
And thats my Ted Talk. I hope these basics might help.
Great tips.
PSA: Watch video fully before you do the repair. Some edits are super quick and you can miss a step and rip a ribbon cable! It's a helpful video but definitely one you need to pause/rewind at points :)
Agreed. This was the "top" video RUclips showed me, I didn't rip a cable, but I didn't have to disconnect them in the first place, which another video instructed (wish I had seen THAT one first) and ribbon cables are the bane of my existence, since I have giant hands.
Yes, ribbon cable part is given short shrift. Unclear what to do, what to look for. My solution is... look for a different video with a more precise presentation.
Thanks
I’m glad you went through both the right and left joy-cons. Usually the tutorials only show the left.
Thank you so much for your tutorial! You literally made it so easy to follow. Saved me from getting brand new joy cons when it was just an easy fix!
screws wont f-ing come out
xD same for me
Bruh same here
same
Awesome tutorial, right what you need and straight to the point~
I’ve been crying since 4pm because I couldn’t get the bottom one in (the one underneath the battery and stuff) thank you for showing me how to replace it!
I don’t usually comment on videos but thank you very much for keeping this short but knowledgeable and to the point! Your video was literally half the time the others were!
Thank you for the comments.
@Casey Apollo bots
My little girl dropped the left joy-con and everything worked except the joystick would not click left, to replace it would have cost £60, I have no experience with electronics what so ever but after watching this video I thought I would give it a go. A complete novice like me replaced the broken joystick in about ten minutes with this video. Absolutely brilliant.....Thankyou!!!
This was super helpful. I didn’t even disconnect any of the ribbon cables other than the ones for the sticks themselves.(wouldn’t recommend unless your willing to risk a break) and it went pretty smooth hardest part was reconnecting the antenna but that was mostly due to my super cheap plastic tweezers. But yeah absolutely better than shipping them off to Nintendo for who knows how long or dropping $80 for a new pair.
Just got done replacing mine, thanks! Although I do notice a split second delay on the replacement joystick versus the original one, not sure if anyone's noticed.
This is immensely helpful!!! Thank you so much for recording this
Thank you very much my friend, I followed your footsteps and did succeed in reparing mines.
Awesome video man, thanks for explaining to us with such a detail.
My joycon wouldn't physically connect after DIY repair. Checked your video. Little ribbon wrong way around. Works great now. Thanks!!!
Big thanks for the help! Great video !
Great as an overall tutorial as well! Replaced the full case and you made it so much easier!
This was great, I used the trick with the piece of cardboard to fix my drift but getting inside to do it I needed help with.
This helped me so much I liked and subscribed this was the best day of my life
Thank you!!!! This definitely helped me. Now to try the right joy con… lol that one seems a bit more tricky
Tysm It took ages thank u it really helped
Happy to help
Worked for me, thanks mate! 10 minutes and job done. I've used a piece of Amazon's hard brown envelope's cardboard.
I followed this on one of my joycons and the top ribbon on the back plate of it, the clip it goes into doesn’t stay in and flips up by itself so it wont stay in place
My [right] joycon works after i out it back together but now when it is finding the switch it has light 1 and 3 flashing instead of going up and down from 1 through 4
At 1:35 - can anyone tell me what this ribbon cable is for? Replacing a buddy's batteries, all went smoothly (no ripped cables lol). This *looks* like it's for an antenna, but it certainly isn't the main antenna. After a cursory glance on Google, I can't find a diagram for all the replacement parts to reverse-engineer what this might be.
My ribbon cable of the right joycon ( the one that connects the button and seal the slot of the battery) is too short and doesn't make me grab it with pinchers due to the small room and the fact that it's twisted and goes backwards inside the slot. I'm stucked there. Any idea?
Just having an issue where the y and +/- buttons don't stick out right after closing the casing
They’re spring loaded, you might’ve lost the spring
Can someone help me my left joy stick has water damage I think and when I connect it to the switch it connects like makes the sound but it doesn’t say connected and I can’t use it I have a ps4 so I’m not bothered getting new ones for 100 bucks
My brand new OLED left analog is making spring noise when pushed to the left on the 2 day after buying it . What to do . It sounds annoyng ! The right analog is silent just the left one is noisy
what do I do when my ABXY and r buttons aren't working on my RH joycon? everything else workings and no drift but the buttons don't work.
I repaired my lock and I put everything back together but I noticed my joy con rail on the controller kinda wiggles now
Man I spilled juice on my letf jc. When I make a small circle with the joy stick. It's harder to move it that way. Idk if I can actually clean it
I disconnected the battery and the rumble thinking it could be plugged back, is there a way to plug both of them back in? Left joycon
My was slightly different but I did it I was so happy so my daughter will have fun with it again but I didn't figure out the small small small latch and until the last peice Thank goodness I got it figured out thank you
what if i accidentally put off the battery connector, and it wont turn on again even after replace the battery?😢 please help
Just went through this while playing fire emblem yesterday with my pro controller ordered in some backup wireless controllers first problem I've had since getting the lite during lockdown other than that everything is cool ❤❤
2 years later and still so helpful, thanks so much for the concise and clear instruction! Redirecting this to my boyfriend for his joycons as well
Thanks for watching and sending to your friend.
THANK U SM FIRST TIME FIXING THEM WAS SUCCESSFUL
Awesome job. Glad I could help you out.
I connected my joy con to one of those black thingys and I did the wrong one 😢 and so it got jammed
I can't put the 3 ribbon the one who is pink it just won't stay put the latch became like unstable it won't stay down it's easy to move
I have the same kit but the yellow ones not working and the white is too big for the screw
thanks a lot!! was a bit tricky to figure out how the latches opened, but it worked out in the end! turned out my right joycon just needed the callibration, so i still got 3 spare thumb sticks for future need! soo nice to not spend over 60 dollars on a set set of joycons (cause for me, i figured i might as well just replace them both) and on top of that, just fun to learn and try something new!
Awesome job. Can be intimidating trying something new like this. Good to hear you got it done.
I’m having trouble with the latches! Any tips?
I'd like to know too, can't get one to close
I was shaking the switch and the part the joy con connects to the screen broke off and got stuck on the screen. What should i do?
Great Tutorial !!
These golden screws are from hell
Okay cool I opened the joycon and i see the reason the lights weren't lighting up or anything is because the sl/sr ribbon underneath the battery was completely bent and now I've snapped it, just great
I want to know one thing. The reparation works as a permanent solution to the drifting problem or does it appear again in a future. If so, how long did it last?
hi! i can help by saying, if the issue with the joycons having the joysticks they came with wear out was just with the *joystick*, then it could be possible a different joystick from a different manufacturer may wear out less when you replace it. but i would say, they seem pretty delicate so after a certain amount of use they will likely still need to be replaced. it depends how often you use them
I had my left joystick replaced and it is still going strong 6 months later and it's endured ~ 200 hours of gameplay time idk if that helps
It will have the same problem at some point
Thanks for the video i was thinking about to buy a new one cause i have problem with it 🙏🙏🙏👍
Omg thank you it worked
Thank you so much, I became so good, I got two extra screws
Probably won't do it but I'm gonna watch this out of curiousity.
Guys, is it possible to take joystick from joycon and replace and change it on broken Lite version ?
Thank you for this, just replaced my left joystick.
I try to fix with my left joycon. It solves the drifting problem but apparently the motion control is not working. Can you help me? :(
How do you take out a stripped screw???
What is the name of the screwdriver you used because i need to know the name of its because its not a flathead
No image of how to remove the latch on the ribbon cable
What happens if i dropped it and the strip cam out.
thank you so much, especially for linking the kit! i replaced the joystick on the right hand side of my precious animal crossing joycon and will save the other one for if and when the left one breaks.
one thing, i could not see what or where the "latch" was to release the ribbon cables, so i did not figure it out where it was until i was already done ^_^""
that given, it is possible to replace it without removing all of the ribbon cables. the only required one was the one connected to the old/new joystick. albeit probably easier than the left one, i was able to turn and maneuver the inside plastic part with the very delicate ribbon cable attached without removing it. i simply worked around the plastic pieces with the ribbon cables still connected for ease of putting it back together and not bothering with reattaching them again later (as you said you had trouble with that).
maybe it just works better if you have small hands ^_^""
would not recommend risking breaking the ribbon cables, but it is possible!
thank you for this video! very straightforward. i was able to avoid spending $200 for new animal crossing joycons. the only thing that was not made clear to me was the 'latch' , but maybe i wasnt looking close enough.
also... magnetic screws are a godsend
thanks for the relatively short and simple explanation! perfect for people who arent too knowledgeable about technology repairs/etc.
Dammit. That grey latch popped off and flew across the room and now I can't find it. What can I do?
My joycon stopped charging, what can i do?
Worst hardware to ever been produced in the console era. Can't believe how cheap and low quality they made the joycons
the most informative nintendo repair video I've seen. do you think you could do a repair on a joycon with a broken R botton?
Dude mine is broken too
My L button doesn’t work :[
I broke both my joycons fixing the drift. The inner parts are too fragile
When I play the joy con sideways, my red one when I press both SL+SR. I pressed both and the SL is the problem that doesnt want to press.
That is in the video with the little orange tags idk watch the video they are either unplugged or broken
For me, my brother always attacks it so I have to keep it in an unknown location so I put it in a candy box and apparently one of the candies melted and went inside the zl button so it’s not pressing properly.
So when I play a game I have no issues with anything but when I'm in the main menu it's not doing anything but moving to the side . But in game nothing works perfectly iuno what Is going on . I have to power off the controllers to select different games but once I'm in it's no problem ?????
Have you tried calibrating the control sticks in settings? That helped me.
Mine has no screws under the battery ?
One of my screws is stripped on the joy con... not sure what to do??
Rubber bands can help grip
how do i disconnect the batter
Knocked my switch a few to many times now the bottom of my joycon is slightly misained
Exactly my character move by it self too
I could really use a troubleshooting guide for when the joy con doesn't seem to power up anymore :D.
That happened to me and I went and reput the ribbons. They are kinda tricky
Step one: buy new joycons
Step two: profit
What if I pulled out the ribbon cable
So I got mad once and threw my joycon and the back popped open a bit and the screw is missing is there a way to fix it?
Get a new screw? How do you fix a screw missing
There is no latch on my ribbon cable 😢
Now there is a sequal to breath of the wild lol
Just ordered, will the new joysticks still scans Amiibos??
Why does this guy sound like the lock picking lawyer lol
Do you know how to fix the latch? The latch kinda broken off while it was being repair
Mine too. I broke two of my joycons because of those stupid latches.
Thanks 😊😊😊
I have now damaged my ribbons. I was unaware which way you were pulling on you latches
Exactly, he should have shown it better and emphasised it better
Hello my R button isnt working sometimes when I click the R button nothing happens and it get really annoying while gaming
Do You mean ZR?
What’s that case you have for Nintendo switch
What is the kit ur using
What’s the difference between the screwdriver you used and another tiny screwdriver?
The screws have a Y-shaped indentation, unlike the + or - shaped indentations more commonly seen. These screwdrivers have a head that fits in there.
Ribbon cables and cheap screws that strip are my arch enemy. RIP my joycon.
Slow down, dude. You're video is more concerned with quick edits to match the cadence of your voice than it is with actually taking the time to demonstrate properly. I broke the ribbon cable connector at 1:37 because it's difficult to see where you lifted up as you described (zoom would have been helpful there), and I'm watching full-screen on a 28" 4k monitor.
Also, the 2nd joycon can actually be replaced without removing any of the ribbon cables, which I did quite easily (albeit carefully).
Thanks all the same.
Thanks for the feedback.
I just broke the same latch 😑 this cannot be the correct way/tool to open this one
@@Jake.The.Snake. That sucks. There are far better videos on this subject. This one should be removed.
@@LifeAquaticSteveZissou Cry.
Don't put ribbon that above the battery above! put it in the hole exactly above the connector and between battery!
Because of that one of mine was bent over! And it started to disconnect randomly and after dissambling again it was teared apart.
Okay so it fixed my joy stick problem, I don't have an issue with any of the buttons but now my switch doesn't recognize when the controller gets put onto it.
EDIT: I figured it out. The bottom ribbon cable was loose.
This really helped me out, n saved me 70 bucks in getting new joycons but overall the left controller was sooo much harder to change the stick than the right, idk why but for me the right had a different location for the antenna slightly makign it way easier to deal with
Which link did you use
I love you man thank you for this video it helps a lot
Okay so it fixed my joy stick problem, I don't have an issue with any of the buttons but now my switch doesn't recognize when the controller gets put onto it.
How’d you fix it
@@shanearnold218 the ribbon on the bottom of the controller wasn't connected all the way
What would be the problem if the right joycon works fine when connected to switch but doesn't work wirelessly when disconnected? I followed this tutorial so I could open it up. Took a cursory look around and didn't see the antenna disconnected. And nothing seemed out of place. Don't know what I'm to look for outside of a potentially disconnected cable
I have the same issue
its so hard for me to unscrew these
Same problem same switch and same game and it worked!!!!!!!
I know this is an old video but I should let you know this: you saved my TOTK Joy-Con. I was wondering why my right one wasn’t working so I decided to follow your video and the moment I opened it up I noticed the bottom cable ribbon was extremely loose. Like I could ever so gingerly remove it some it’s socket and out it came out. I thought I was gonna have to be sitting down for a while trying to trouble shoot… Nope just a loose cable.
Edit: the only reason I was on your video is because my right joy comes wouldn’t work.
I am honored that I could help you defeat Ganon. May your fixed joycon strike down gloom in the depths.
Help my antenna is on the other side 😭
Do Amiibos still work since the sensor is in the right joycon?
this is a good question. Ik its 5 months old but I will get to repairing mine soon and will let you know
