Nintendo Switch Oled leftside Joycon Rail Replacement

[@therealjadez]

Great video, quick question. Are the flex cables on OLED and older switches the same? I know the rail design is different. My rail is fine but I damaged the flex cable but can buy the older rails with flex cheap and quick so thought if the cable is the same, I can just move the flex cable and connector to the older rail?

[@rickstechrepairs]

pretty sure the flex/ controller connector are the same just the rails screw in differently

[@GothicOverlord13]

I have two screws on the back when unscrewing the plate near the motherboard (bottom left and behind that thin wire) that are kinda broken? The Phillips head won't get them out. What can I do?

[@ericcolin2907]

can you tell me pls what size screwdriver you used

[@TheTriskaideka]

Not sure if universal but i in europe used a phillips screwdriver 000 For the special nintendo screws the triwing or y it was also a 000

[@nathanstorrs6741]

This is actually the right side Joycon rail not the left

[@rickstechrepairs]

task will be extremely similar for either side

[@AcidWords1]

Hey, I have a question. Is there any reason to plug the rails back in? I've noticed they just work as if you're playing with the Joycons apart if you don't plug them back in. Is there any real reason for it to read that they're on?

So you don't have to worry about your Joycons dying mid play session.

I replaced my rails and now I can see my screen, sound works and display when in dock, did I do something wrong?

[@juniordavila5050]

Can’t*

[@pabloalfredolopezrodriguez7773]

Did you resolved it mate?

[@RatchetX3X]

i can't find those connector online, there is rail + connector but i dont need those rails

[@rickstechrepairs]

Buy it like that. Then swap the small connector over

[@GamingLover-xp8hc]

But this is the replacement of the Right side rail not the left side?

[@rickstechrepairs]

extremely similar repair for either side

[@danielq4411]

Is it okay not to replace the thermal compound when reassembling?

[@rickstechrepairs]

you could probably get away with it on the switch as it feels very tacky

[@Gothguitarist]

What about the right joycon?

[@rickstechrepairs]

Similar process but haven't recorded it

[@Gothguitarist]

Omg I didn't see you took the right side off

[@Gothguitarist]

​@rickstechrepairs I think you did the right joycon rail not the left

[@AcidWords1]

Trying to open the body without taking all the screws out looks very intelligent
