@@sephiron688 Yeah, I downvoted the video. If you watch closely just before he "removes" the battery, he edited the video at that point, cutting something out of his process to make it seem like you can just slip a spudger right under the battery.

Thank you SO much for this tutorial. After 3 days of use, my R joystick completely snapped off my brand new Switch and I was devastated. Nintendo was going to charge $40 to repair it, and it wasn’t guaranteed I would get my special edition Animal Crossing color control back. I decided to take a shot ordering a Fix It repair kit with a spare joystick and there is NO WAY I could’ve done it without your tutorial. Even down to the ZR button falling out. You showed me how to walk through every single step. I saved myself tons of money and stress. I can’t thank you enough!!!!! (Just as a side note for anyone curious - the only step I was too nervous to attempt was unhooking the battery. So I left the battery pack plugged in the whole time, but was able to complete every other step. I know it’s probably safer to unplug it, but if you’re careful it should be fine!)

Just wanted to add that after replacing the analog stick and when you are checking for drift, there are some instances where it does not go EXACTLY back to the center and could be off-centered by a slight bit. I found that calibrating the analog stick from that page by pressing "X" fixes this in many cases. I thought I had a few defective ones, but turns on calibration is all that is needed.

Little hack for those pesky ribbons cables not going back in: Attach a piece of tape (teflon preferred, scotch is fine) to the neck area, and use the tape as your lever for putting it back in. Adds no stress to the cable and no risk of bending it. Great tutorial, OP!

I ended up breaking a joycon stick last night while I was playing The Legend of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom. I was searching around for replacement joycons when I found this video and I thought that this would be a much cheaper solution than buying a brand new pair. I never knew such kits exist, so this is a lifesaver for me.

Fantastic instructions. I've been doing electronics for 40 years but couldn't have fixed my nephew's controller without your instructions. The people in the factory making these must have tiny hands! For others - just take your time and don't force anything and use the correct tools. And watch the whole video before starting.

Just fixed both my joy cons with this video's help. Thank you. Opted to not disconnect power and carefully set battery aside and it was fine. Left joy con has a thin tricky ribbon cable over one of the c stick screws, but I unscrewed the bit it was connected to (and it as well has a ribbon with little to no give so it can't be moved much!) And it allowed enough slack to get to the screw without damaging anything. Was surprised at how seemingly little the c stick ribbon cable plugs into the assembly bit with the black latch. Kept trying to poke more inside of it but it wasn't necessary. Thanks again for a clear video. Stoked for some tears of the kingdom without crushing my controls in frustration at drift. WE'RE BACK BABY!

my repairs to both joycons went fine, thanks for the shoulder button tips. in longevity news, the joystick from this pack lasted about a year before developing the opposite problem to drifting, as in, now i cannot calibrate it at all in settings because the dead zone is enormous and the input doesn't go far enough to the right to register. the entire stick is off by one calibration circle to the left. the stick itself has developed a fault. just an fyi for folks wondering about longevity of this repair kit.

If you don't have supplies or tools, try removing your controllers, and go to "find controllers" and hold down the screen for the vibration and move your control stick while spinning your hand. Do that for a minute then check back on the calibration selection to test if it worked. It's the graphite that causes the drift, a dust like material after wearing down the contacts, so the vibration probably shakes the dust into another area where it doesn't do as much unwanted inputs.

​@@ssshampoo There is an English guy that was very clear. The right joycon is much easier than the left. You don't need do disconnect the battery. Just use the the plastic stuff with the hook to pry it out of the case and rest on the right side. After unscrewing the 3 cross head screws you only have that one little joystick ribbon with the clip that secures it . Use the plastic tool with the little hook and bring it back to release the ribbon. Unscrew the 2 joystick screws and gently remove it from the socket. Push in the ribbon of the new joystick to the gold line on the case and pull that clip forward to secure it then screw in the 2 screws. Gently put the the little antenna in the slot and then screw back battery case , put in back battery then outer case.

I’ve never repaired any electronics before, but I tried with my joycon. Tried following this video, but it was my left joy on that needed repair, and there are some big differences I was noticing between what was in this video and what my actual joycon looked liked. I was thinking maybe he had a newer design and didn’t even that think the left and right would be different inside. So I just tried to follow this as best as I could and use my brain to figure out how to do the things that weren’t in this video. It took about 30 minutes, and I wasn’t sure if I got the ribbon cables inserted fully, but when after reassembling it and testing it, everything worked. No more drift! The only thing is, I have 2 extra screws sitting here now, and I have no idea where they go. Oh well, it works. Guess these screws don’t matter…

Thank you for the instruction. I already had to do that with both Joycons on my Switch (considering how common this issue is, the name joy-CON may be very correct). One thing caused me much more trouble than the video suggests - the outside screws. Each joycon had one screw that didn't want to move even a bit (the bottom one on the outer side in both cases) so I had to drill through them. Anyways I managed to fix both and everything's working perfectly now. I could just try to get Nintendo to fix them instead, but they don't have an official service in my country and sending my joycon to another country would take very long and would probably cost me more than the repair kit, especially considering I'd have to do it twice.

Yeah maybe try pulling the battery connector and not taking it off with tweezers. I can’t get it back on again.

amazing video, the only thing i would add is when you screw back in the golden screws, do the top two first then the bottom one, as i accidentally screwed in the bottom one the the back triwing slot and it took me like half an hour to figure it out haha

If you're a first timer at repairing little stuff be careful with the amount of pressure you use when unscrewing the little screws. I wasn't and I immediately stripped the screw so I can't get it out now. Had to just give up before I could really start. Learn from my mistake :o

Thank for the video. Very informative. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 A little fast at times, but I Just kept rewinding and pausing.😉 Tried following the ifixit video and got stuck thinking a spudger/ pry tool was necessary to remove the battery; evidently not 🙄 Found your video after and completed the replacement on right joycon without hassle, even though I'm a less tech-savvy mum.😂
