Solution three worked perfectly thank you

[@alyssazajdel7945]

This was extremely helpful. Waiting on a tri-wing screw driver now and the joycon replacement parts to see if that fixes my son’s issue!

[@athrocamtinian]

did it?

[@alyssazajdel7945]

@@athrocamtinian it was the right rail on the console but all fixed! I also fixed the memory card reader, another joycon rail, the “L” ribbon, and now I have to solder the “R” part. Lol. Then we should officially be all fixed lol.

@@alyssazajdel7945how did you fix the rail on the console?

[@jacobnelson211]

Such a great video and comprehensive. Solution 8 somehow fixed mine after disconnecting all joy cons on the switch and then pushing that button on the joy con, after which I attached it to the switch and it somehow is working again.

[@PeachBlossomCookieFan]

Solution 3 was the one that helped! Thank you for the information.

[@Braven-j7m]

This really helped, I thought one of mine had broken but for some reason it had lost sync with the switch and had to press the little black button on the inside of the rails again, i hope that helps anyone else having similar problems

[@Sweetandsourman]

This was super helpful! It was solution 8 for me. 😄

[@user-eg6hw4fo6r]

Thank you for this! This helped me but what if it still doesn’t work on the tv when you wanna play it in it?

[@IvanDelgado-d7n]

Thank you so much it help me thanks

[@elwoodsgaming7944]

Thank you so much this fixed it! (:

[@Santiago_Rangel22]

I swear I have no idea how that worked but solution 2 fixed it and it even fixed the weak connection of the joy con

[@alyssazajdel7945]

Okay, so I did the flip around method (solution 3) and the left joycon will not connect/charge on the right side when flipped backwards (the right one connects and works perfectly) so I am assuming it’s the contact points on the joycon after process of elimination. I’ve cleaned it and nothing has helped. They are charging on a separate dock separately and working off of the switch/on the black holder they sit in that makes a controller. Any insight before I buy the replacement parts would be great! 😅

Thank you so much ❤❤

[@armandoroca1964]

none of these solutions worked for me but after i updated my joycons and restarted my console they started working hope this helps

[@Jennie-x7z]

Tried 9 out before and they paired up ok, but the left one is still showing up as low battery. This is after cleaning the rails and contact points.

[@TheRealToxic]

I have the same issue. My right joy con is showing low battery but connects and works just fine. For some reason it appears that it simply does not charge. Did you find any solution at all?

[@Jennie-x7z]

@@TheRealToxic I ended up sending mine in for repair/replacement. Nintendo sent me a new pair. Those work just fine and are charging like they should. So it turns out it was the battery in the left one that was going. The rails are working as they should.

[@TheRealToxic]

@@Jennie-x7z When you sent them in for repair, how much did that cost? I also know that my rails are fine because the same problem happens on both my switches. Thanks for answering!

[@Jennie-x7z]

@@TheRealToxic I'm via the US. Didn't cost anything. What region are your from? Depending on it, you might have it available for free too. Just double check it. Had to let the customer service person know that it was still available for free tho.

[@TheRealToxic]

@@Jennie-x7z I am from Germany, thanks for the information! I will check it out.

[@suganyaananth7531]

Thank you

[@brattkatt_ttv]

I have a switch lite and a seperate charging dock but the issue is just on the left one?? I did clean it after seeing this but only just now so no results yet...

[@brattkatt_ttv]

Ok so yeah i need new joycons...the battery in the problem one was ballooning? But its easier fir me to just get new ones

[@nexxtofn]

I put it on the opposite side and then back and it charged

[@MYREYARTURO]

Solution 2 worked for me, but a little black pain fell off.

[@luaneivelazquez4455]

Fixed it!!

[@ninjaeddy1717]

Mine started charging again after I put them in a charging grip thing. It was only $25, but it’s supremely dumb that the switch can’t charge a completely dead controller.

[@Nefertiti5744]

thank you bro now i have my fncs pickaxe

[@Yupiiiiiiiiiii89]

So better

[@thathomiefox]

My right joycon won’t turn on. No green lights and won’t work.

[@zarzedits]

Same bro

[@GoblinsMom]

Plug it into the left side or buy a new battery. A 2 pack is only $20.

[@TINYBgaming2]

Non of it worked mines was dubbed or something not charging
