Cleaning Assorted Joycons...How Many Will Work?

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 11 ก.ค. 2024
  • Steve at Tronicsfix gave me a pile of Joycons and Joycon parts in unknown condition. I thought it would be fun to test them to see how many are working, deep clean the entire lot, and randomly reassemble the parts to see if I can finish with more working Joycons than I started with - just with cleaning!

    Since posting this video and tracking with the comments, I have learned that the boards are coded to match the color of the shell on each Joycon, which will make your Switch correctly identify the color of Joycon that connects to it. I did not take this into account during this project. I will (at some point) get around to taking these all apart and rematching, though I doubt I will film that process. I apologize of the oversight, and appreciate the community for pointing it out. I hope you all learn from my mistake :)

    Honestly, this is the dream.
    If someone gave me a box of Joy cons to test out, take apart, clean and reassemble I'd be the happiest person alive. It's one of those things I get a ton of enjoyment from.
    Also, reassembly ASMR is very welcome.

    For those very small pieces and maybe even overall all of them. You can get those mesh laundry bags for clothes and put them in there and straight into the wash machine. There are safety latches in them so they don't open during wash. I use those for my clothes but also have a separate pair for things like this. Specially Lego's. I bought a large lot of 5000+ and used those to wash them. Saves time and also does a better job overall. Maybe a little spot wipes here and there after and then leave out to further dry.
