How To FIX JoyCon NOT Detected by Nintendo Switch in Handheld Mode!

[@RarePupper]

When I removed my left joycon from the switch, it would act like it had never seen a switch console before in it's life and not even try to connect. Doing the disconnect control feature featured in this video fixed this issue which I have had for a long time. Thank you!

[@glitchdata6580]

This is actually marvelous. I thought I was screwed, and that I’d have to waste money on a joy con, this dude deserves to get to 1M, minimum,100 thousand. Thx a lot dude

[@2rugrats1527]

You're a genius!! I tried what I thought was everything to get the left joy con to reconnect and nothing was working. Was going to buy a new one today and saw your video as a last effort. YOUR SECOND METHOD TOTALLY WORKED!! Thank you so much!!

[@afro-sisco9751]

The 3 ways to fix your joycon. Step 1: Restart your joycon and pair it 2 times and then sleep on it. Step 2: Blow compressed air on the connector and port like it's an old gameboy. Step 3: If you still have a warranty. Ok so with the first step my controller won't connect because the controller is dead. On step 2 the controller still makes that click sound when I put it back in and the 3rd step DON'T YOU THINK I WOULD HAVE ALREADY ASKED FOR A REPLACEMENT BY A WARRANTY IN THE FIRST PLACE!

Only correction for you: you need to hold the compressed gas level otherwise liquid dribbles out (as you saw). Hold the can level (like it's sitting on a table), and move the Switch around.

i just wanted to ask. are u sure its compressed GAS? not compressed air?
