Omg, I broke the exact same thing when I took apart my joycon for the first time. I didn't think it was possible to fix it because the pads were gone. If only I had a soldering iron and knew how to solder tiny points like that
You don't really need solder mask, where the traces are is not really getting touched or moved. If you put hot glue on you need to really flatten it as the plastic piece that goes over the top of it will not fit correctly. Any other questions just get in touch. 👍
Any idea if there are any other point I can tap into? I managed to melt off the solder pad for the test point, the tiny bit of the original trace that remains is as thin as a light scratch on a phone screen. Literally will not tin 😮💨 good times lol
hello sir,so i tried to fix it and while i placed everything back like i should be my joy con not react to any buttons except analog stick, What could I possibly did wrong is there something u suggest me to check ?? thank you
If the analogue stick still works, it shows its not dead which is a positive! Check all ribbon cable connectors to make sure they are all inserted correctly, one might not be fully seated?
It some cheapish one I bought off Amazon, it got good reviews but I dont think its great, doesnt flow well and doesnt clean up easily, I am looking for something new.
Video was super helpful. My nephew’s broke the exact same way. Will attempt to fix. Worse case his parents will have to order new ones again 😂

Awesome video, thank you!
What were the very fine wires you were using as jumpers? From the pads to the board?
Enamel wire, 0.01mm. Its fine coated wire but once you put solder on it the coating removes.
Cheers for the video, where'd you get the blister pack of replacement buttons?
Aliexpress
How much is a sauder pack of bumpers and the time should I just go buy a new set??
Nice video. where did you get the replacement switches from?
aliexpress. Get them in packs of 5/10.
What kind of wire did you use? Thanks for the tutorial!
I have two boards I need to do this on thanks for the video. Quick question from an amateur, can I use a small dab of hot glue as a solder mask?
You don't really need solder mask, where the traces are is not really getting touched or moved.

@@fixingmoddingbuilding thank you for the quick reply. I appreciate it!

take a look on gbatemp, lots of good guides on there
Excuse me sir, what' s that thing that you used at minute 6:58, please? And what wires you use at 7:52?
Flux and enamel wire, sorry cannot remember the thickness but its thin!
where can i buy the switch?
The exact same thing happened to my grey right joycon. I set it up for a repair and got it replaced for a new one.
Was it under warranty still?
11:49 - its my flat hahaha
This happens with mine except when i press r it registers as a,b home button and r
That normally means something is shorting out
@@fixingmoddingbuilding ahhh me too then it says on screen remote unstable
Same
How can we fix it?
Did this fix a few weeks ago, was working OK but random buttons now keep pressing on this joycon to the point it is unusable.
That will mean one of the wires is shorting, most likely one has come loose
How much would you charge to fix mine I tried to fix it but it's not working
I am not a pro so couldn't charge :)

The same happened to me. Were you able to fix it?
@@diegoalveal3984 yeah,i just did what the channel said.I reconnect all the small cables back and it worked correctly.
El test debe ser con el Joycon semi armado
Same for me
I have had a lot of these fail, just another poor design!
i did mine but now all buttons not working except analog stick, anyone knows what's the problem?
I would probably say a short, remove the wires you have done and if it works again start again
What flux are you using?
It some cheapish one I bought off Amazon, it got good reviews but I dont think its great, doesnt flow well and doesnt clean up easily, I am looking for something new.
Is the flux necessary
It helps the solder flow and stick, I never used to use it so it's doable without but helps with.
Can I use solder instead of wire?
definitely not, solder wire is not designed for this application.
is this the only way?
if your traces are ripped of then yes.
@@fixingmoddingbuilding if not how can i do it?
@@Trav_Fede If there not ripped you can just solder back to the pads.
