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.

Thanks

I’m glad you went through both the right and left joy-cons. Usually the tutorials only show the left.

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 :)

[summergold]

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!

[rumpleforeskin]

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!

[loganprice]

I have now damaged my ribbons. I was unaware which way you were pulling on you latches

[sxcythe_]

Tysm It took ages thank u it really helped

[danielpirez]

Worst hardware to ever been produced in the console era. Can't believe how cheap and low quality they made the joycons

[RetiredRhetoricalWarhorse]

I could really use a troubleshooting guide for when the joy con doesn't seem to power up anymore :D.

[arc]

Just having an issue where the y and +/- buttons don't stick out right after closing the casing

[joey]

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.

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.

[weirdogamer]

Now there is a sequal to breath of the wild lol

[thedragonknight]

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

[mswheatley]

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

[Robotoda]

Ribbon cables and cheap screws that strip are my arch enemy. RIP my joycon.

[adriang]

Worked for me, thanks mate! 10 minutes and job done. I've used a piece of Amazon's hard brown envelope's cardboard.

[aguy]

Thank you so much, I became so good, I got two extra screws

[oliviakee]

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

[s-n-g-b]

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
