Joycons Won't Connect To Nintendo Switch - How to Fix

In this video, I show how to connect your joycons to your Nintendo Switch. Sometimes they won't connect due to a glitch or some other reason, and this fix usually does the trick.

My joy con works fine when connected but as soon as I take it off, it doesn’t light up or work in any capacity. Pls help.

How am I supposed to press x if neither of them work?.!

[ShanakaAbeywickrama]

Thanks for this. Had watched the first video that popped up in the search results and almost took apart my controller. Thank goodness I watched this as well - perfect fix.

I usually play with my brother so we connect the switch with the tv and use the joycons to play 1v1 on ssbu, but sometimes they don't connect and sometimes, we get to play a little and then they start getting all delayed and stuff, after that they keep disconnecting please help!!

There is a massive fault wih this:in order to disconnect by pressing the x button WHICH IS ON THE RIGHT CONTROLLER WHICH DOESN'T WORK

Your a life saver! I had already spent over 20 minutes trying to pair one of my controllers because one of them connected but the other didn’t. Then when I took the disconnected one out of the switch, it was paired but the other one wasn’t. This really helped! I totally recommend this to others with the same issue I had.

Not only do I have connection issues with my right joy con, my switch will not shut of normally, as in it will not turn of if you press the power button. And of course I have the drift issues as well.
