- My switch controllers would randomly disconnect during handheld gameplay so I decided it was time to find out why.....
Lets take it apart.
check out tronicsfix, a great channel with amazing repair content. and as always ..... the perfect amount of thermal paste.

Thanks both of my controllers would constantly disconnect I just used isopropyl alcohol and a q tip to clean the pins on both the console and the controllers without taking it apart and it definitely fixed the issue as well as seem to have helped with some input lag
OP mark this for others to see
Yeah I’ll just do what you did because I’m not taking apart after only having it a couple months lol..
@@jurrienmindblownjones2944did it work
@@Mudda_Fakait works, you just have to shove in the q tip really well
@@8oxcast295 Lmao my comment u replied to was so long ago I dont even remember commenting it
Bought my oled brand new…. 3 months later they keep disconnecting
The issue still happends? Or did you fixed?
Same
Same
Me too lol and bad time they are all sold out
Same here
You don't have to replace the entire rail for the joycons to stop coming out! :)
You can replace just the locking part, either with a donor one, or you can buy metal or plastic copies online. I always have metal locks on hand for my customers and all my joycons are upgraded with metal locks.
Thanks mate. I will keep that in mind 😁👍
Where do we get these things?

Thank you so glad I didn’t open it up
Great video, it will come in handy! But if i may, you used a wrong type of paste on top of the heatpipe. You see, that's right there is a "viscous" thermal paste, like the K5 PRO. It helps because it stays in place and won't drop on the MOBO. I also did the same mistake at first when my console started to overheat and the results was that the moment i opened the metal lid again, it dripped on the MOBO and was boring to clean it out (no problems since the paste i used is not conductive, at least).
The regular thermal paste is actually applied in 2 places: right under the pipe on the heat shield and under the heat shield itself that is made on the inside to contain the paste on the processor.
Yeah, however I have been using it since this video and it has remained perfectly functional so I would say it's fine.
I would have preferred to use the official paste but I had to use what I had. 👍 Thanks for the comment. 😊
So I bought a switch OLED again off someone 300 sold my other joycons didn't realize it was an issue but both my joycons sometimes would just slide off.....fixed the left one and now when I press harder it stays....the right one I can press slightly it still connects....but can slide off if pushed a bit more my suggestion!!!!.....play tabletop mode and or get new joycons but if it dkesnt slide off easily while touching slightly and you can push a bit and it still stays....your good to go these can easily be fixed thank goodness it's not the systems controllers can always have issues.....they're always replaceable 😁
The Red thermal compound on the outer part of the heatsink is always like that. I've never seen it being actually a paste, and I think it's actually manufacturered that way because otherwise it starts going everywhere.
I do still reapply it but I just apply a small little dot.
Yeah I get that but I have seen it much softer in newer switches. Thanks for watching 😁
@@UkdangermanRepairs Guess I only get given beat up junk haha. No problem mate, it's a good video. Sad that the cleaning didn't work
@@ItalianRetroGuy to be honest I prefer beat up junk.... More of a challenge lol
@@UkdangermanRepairs well a lot of devices come to me after a store already touched them. That means oftentimes it's a no fix. I'd prefer they were at least repairable most of the time, but the good news is that I get left tons of donor boards xD
Huh vhh
When im playing online games they just disconnect without coming out the rail
My left joycon randomly disconnects in handheld as if I took it off yet I didnt, I usually never take them off and mostly play in handheld anyways so it's really annoying in rocket league and fortnite
I'm having the same issue with a new switch oled (purchased 4 months ago). The right joy-con disconnects randomly during play. The right joy-con feels a little more wobbly than the left. Not sure what to do at this point 😕
I thought i was the only one, i have this issue too, i have a temporary fix for this, i clean the conectors with isoprophyl alcohol, the one in the joycon and the one in the console, it works for a while then the issue comes back
Edit: i have an oled switch too with the white joycons
Just bought my OLED switch yesterday. It will happen where the right stick will randomly disconnect while playing. It feels a little looser than the left but after resetting the cons it’ll be fine for another 30 minutes or so and then will disconnect again.
@@rickman1945 i have the same issue the cause sometimes is just dirt in the contacts or sometimes is cause of the joycon wobble, when it is too much. I recommend to clean the contacts with some isoprophyl alcohol or contact cleaner and stick a piece of electrical tape in the lower part of the joycon (there are some videos that use that method), with that the issue should disappear but if it doesn't and you dont want to send you switch to Nintendo i suggest 2 options
1. Buy another pair of joycons if you can
2. Get a replacement for the locking piece of the joycon (the one that release the joycon when you press the button on the back), disassemble the joycon and do the replacement yourself, there are some tutorials that explains how to do it and there also are some of this pieces made of metal that lock much better than the plastic ones
I hope this help, the issue is very annoying, let me know how it went
So far my best fix is to make sure to stay seated so the switch is basically laying flat while I play it (putting less pressure on the joy con). Seems like this would mostly happen when I would play while laying down and holding the switch up. I'll try some of the recommendations here. Thanks!
same thing with me
Is there any way to fix this without opening the console
in my case the joycons disconnect for some little seconds when i do this 1:53 wich is annoying cause this usually happens when im in splatoon and i have to move around the switch to play it, how can i fix it?
hey, have you found a solution? i think this might be the same for me because theres a lot of movement needed for splatoon
@@fififeefee i didnt :( if you find a solution tell me please!
@@ruru7169 unfortunately i couldnt find anything. i contacted the support and they just told me to send it in to get it repared💔
@ruru7169 hey, i recently sent it in and just got an email that said the antenna was built in wrong ...
My switch has done this from day 1
Do the joycons feels loose? Sometimes that is the cause of the issue
I finally found a video my joycons kept disconnecting when I play fortnite they aren’t even out the switch
Same for my sons it makes him play disconnected all of sudden and idk why!
@@chinaorosco5418 Probably need to replace the rail :/ mine do that too, dayum im scared to break something though haha
@@jumeme378 me too! I don’t wanna mess up the whole thing I shoulda just bought the warranty lol
My switch has recently started doing this and i cant play like at all it does it like every 30 seconds
Name of this problem
Only issue is it never happens with third party joycons, only Nintendo Joycons. Brand new.
This makes the switch literally unusable
That happened to me too I do not why
I Twist the joy con 3 time it Disconnected
That’s a lot of paste.
Edit: I guess it wasn’t to much
Tronics fix might disagree 🤣🤣🤣
The fuc** screw stripped with next to no force…. I hate nintendo
Those stupid y screws are such a farce.
