Finally! A video that actually gives you a practical solution rather than telling you to carry out a software update.
Thank you.
For realll
Sash a cue tip with pliers and push it in with isyporple alcohol, on the tip, There saved you an hour.
Welp, a year later and I finally got this issue, its a good thing i remember this video.
After one month I got this issue and then a week later only one joy con would connect at a time, I’m not sure what to do
Same happend with my left joy con
Only a month of having a switch and Im already having this issue
I saw this long time ago and it finally need it it stared happening 2 weeks ago
Same. I got this issue after a year lmao. Thank god I'm not thd only one 😁
Before taking your switch apart, try this first: Take a small amount of tape and fold it in half so it is twice as thick and sticky on both sides then stick it on the metal slider piece of the switch between the side rails so it'll be between the console and the controller. This helps give just a little bit more friction to hold the joycon on better so it doesn't disconnect all the time while playing. Hope this helps!
Will try
I’ll have to try this out. I’ve been having this issue for over a year now and I don’t have the proper tools (yet) to try and fix it. So a nice and easy quick fix would be welcome (until I can do a proper fix).
@@the8wave hey any luck from this method?
@@jinbo369 I tried it and no work for me
That fixed my problem. Took a while to find anyone else having this issue along with a video to correct it.
Thanks!
I swear I hate the switch it feels like it’s so cheaply made because of how easily it can break without you even doing anhthing
3Ds was peak Ngl
My Switch from late 2017 is practically on life support now… It’s this, and the fact that there are now issues with it charging… I’ve NEVER dealt with any hardware issues with the Wii U.
I had no contact cleaner so I removed the joycon and just blew air on the side of the console and it worked, thanks for the video bro
yooooo i just did this right now and it worked!!! i even tested with another joy con and no problems! omg thank you soo much!
I tried it aswell and it worked thx m8 c:
this actually worked somehow. thanks
Thanks so much I thought there was no way I could fix controller without buying this it really helped!
Literally all i had to do 😂 thank u 🙏
THANK YOU! Connector cleaner did the trick, I had already tried cleaning it was alcohol and a q-tip. 20 videos, 50+ forum threads/articles, and 2 calls to Nintendo (unfortunately out of warranty). This was the last thing I was going to try before giving up and buying a new one. I had factory reset the device and it wouldn't go past setup until I "connected my joy con" which it refused to see as connected.
yo I did the exact same stuff. I want to open my switch now to fix it
what's the problem?
The WD-40 Contact Cleaner and blowing on the rail worked(as mentioned by a person on the comment section). I was having an issue with my right Joycon. Thank you!
Funny enough, blowing on the rail worked for me too.
I've had this problem for almost a year and im glad I found this video!
Me too
To make your life easier to put back the metal tube just put the rail and the gold pins back in to position in the nintendo switch itself and THEN put the metal tube in. Less risky than doing it in the air, dont want to accidentally slip your hands and rip the cable.
I cut up a lint free cotton pad and used isopropyl then pushed it into the gaps and moved it around with a pair of tweezers and now it's good as new.
There is one quick fix that I’ll share here (I had tried the WD40 and tried to bend the pins upwards, to no avail):
Get yourself a cardboard from a cracker, cereal or any type of box that has a thin constitution. Use your scissors to cut a small square that will fit the lower part to the Joycon receptor, and gently slide the Joycon over that piece as it is inserted (Do Not Force It; If It Struggles, Forget It). And there you have it. That piece of cardboard will create the pressure that the Switch Joycon Receptor apparently needed.
A little bit of isopropyl alcohol and tissue paper to clean the rails did the trick for me. Thanks for the video! I would have never thought just dirt could do this!
You deserve many subscribers for this. Thanks, man.
u r welcome
@@sthetixofficial hello do u need to use the exact sprayer u used or just use like alcohol
I only use a syringe and isopropyl alcohol
Yeah mine was so corroded with something I have no idea how it came about but I cleaned both of them then I pushed lightly up and back down on the joy con and this time it didn’t disconnect at all so the video help me out a lot
I appreciate the professional presentation and thorough troubleshooting. I’ve found too many videos that don’t go into detail and use some armature camera
You have some ameture spelling.
Lᴀᴘɪꜱ Lᴀᴢᴜʟɪ [Sᴛᴇᴠᴇɴ Uɴɪᴠᴇʀꜱᴇ] I think that’s ✨you’re✨ problem .

Update. So yeah, after using Contact Cleaner and compressed air, the issue returned on my right Joycon. I decided to buy a Joycon metal lock kit so that I could replace my wobbly joycon and to have the right tools to open the Switch. Lo and behold, I could use my Switch again in handheld mode. At first I was afraid of opening my Switch and breaking some parts, but this video helped me in opening and cleaning my Switch. Thank you so much! It is hard to find a repair shop during the pandemic. Just Under 5USD (203PHP in my country, shipping included) I was able to repair my Switch. I could hunt properly again in MH: Rise. Thank you! Thank you so much sthetix. I will subscribe to your channel! More power to you!
Update. It happened again once but after that, it is okay again.
glad u fixed it.
Finalmente!!!! Muito obrigado. Chega de vídeos que não resolvem nada usando fita adesiva. Obrigado!!!
Thanks! This helped. Although my method was using a flattened cotton swab. Using that with Wd 40. It helped.
Tutorial pls
Did you flatten a regular swab or did you buy some special flat swabs?
the last option worked perfect for me! thanks so much for the video
Thank god for finding this video, literally life saving for switch
thanks it solved my problem i just sprayed contact cleaner on both joycon and on console.
still good?
Can't believe this worked! returning extra rail part thanks to this !
if any of these don't work go to settings go to controllers and sensors then go to disconnect controllers then take the controller with the x,y,b,a and keep the other controller on then press and hold the x button that is on the screen and it will say the controller is disconnected then hold your power button then go to power options and press turn off then turn it back on and boom worked for me.
An easy way to fix this problem is to get Clorox wipes and wipe down the contact pins. A lot of dust and black came out and my joy-con was fine again! No need to disassemble your Nintendo switch.
thanks. has not yet solved the problem, but it became clear how the joysticks are connected in general and how to repair
u can clean its pins
Gos bless you. I thought my joyson completly died and was about to spend 70 buxk, but you made me look in the switch side and I found some weird thing stuck down there. joycon fixed!!!
For now the first solution worked really well to me, thx a lot
Edit: worked for about 30 minutes '-'
This happened to my left side as well and wasn't registering any of my left joycons BUT it was still charging them. So I sent it in to Nintendo to repair for free. This system has way too many issues and problems.
Agreed, Nintendo really needs to make a 11.0.0 Patch that fixes everything
Finally i fixed my switch! I love u man ❤️
I recently havin this problem ,thank God there is a fix
Came across some screws that are to tight cant losen them even with wd40
Try doing this first before taking it apart worked for me
It helps! Thank you! I sprayed an alcohol to those fingers and blew it now it works again
finally fixed! Thanks for the video!
Just using compressed air down the side seemed to fix it for me, at least temporarily. Must just be a dust issue.
Many thanks, my friend. That helped!
Never had this problem yet, but at least I know where to go if it does happen. Good video
thx
fixed my oled with your video ty
I dropped my Nintendo switch when I was 8, then one of the joycons went up. Now it disconnects all the time. Thanks for this tutorial.
When you were 8? This console was only released 4 years ago this makes it sound like it was a long time ago 😂
@@emit3338 In 2018 I was 8 I got my switch for Christmas in 2017. I am 10 years old today.
@@JaredtheNacliFan yeah makes sense ig just sounds weird now that I'm 21 and I realize I'm still young weird to think there younger peeps out here actually managing 😂 wish you well yo!
Finally...I know how to solve my problem...after buying a new left jon con with having the problem still.
Pushing on my joycons they don't disconnect, however sometimes when I'm playing a game both of them would just disconnect
Tbh thered be an easy fix for this on nintendo side. They should be able to have the joycons attached but be working as if they weren't attached.
Ya and then your switch dies faster cause its always connecting to wifi witch for some reason drains the battery like a mofo.
this console is so bad quality, my Gameboy dmg-01 is still working. But this... awefull. Antenna problems, drifts, contact problems, what is next ?
The console is good, but the controls are trash
i agree
The console itself is great, pretty durable too, but the controllers were made way too cheap
@Walther Penne the tablet part has been pretty durable for me, I’ve dropped it a few times, once on concrete too, but it’s still intact
Thank you for a great tutorial again.
thanks
Finally found a video on this issue afer giving up a couple months ago
Thank you Sir! That helped!
Thanks, great Help!
It is indeed useful for a lot of peoples :)
yes i hope so
It happens on both sides and IN MID GAME and thanks
i have this problem with my right joycon. can i do this with my right side of my switch is it the same as doing it as the left side ?
yes
I've solved mine, a spider lived inside the hole and I killed it. I had to clean them so it can connect.
CCGamez bro *i k r*
What the actual fuck.
@@sateayam24 hey dude, imagine someone comes into ur house and kills you just cuz he thought ur noisy or something.
you should've let this spider go. don't you have any empathy?!
Strabby Crabby yea, at first I know it was a bad Idea but thats the only way that can solve the problem. The spider won’t go away tho. Anyways, this comment was like 5 months ago.
Lol
I found by adding a small amount of tape to the bottom left of the joycon managed to wedge it out enough for a good connection
I didn't know where the issue really was but I didn't know if I had that computer e 40 or whatever so I just blew in it and now it works lmao
Thanks so much. Like this video
Thank you so much
I’ll see if I can buy these sometime, I really like playing handheld and it’s occurring with both sides, this got exactly the problem I had.
I wanna try actually playing a game to see if it still disconnects, because simply pushing it isn’t enough for me.
Try blowing on the bottom sides were the joycons would go before taking it apart. Worked for me..
Elle pete ta console Shetix, vraiment super classe 👍
😉
I had the same problem and I simply went to settings = controllers then scroll all the way down to unpair or remove controllers press the X at the bottom center of the screen then remove both joy cons power completely off then turn on switch and place both joy cons back on and pair both joy cons. I haven't had that problem again.
Watched this video, then just blowed into the connectors. It worked for me now! Should spray some WD40 there too.
Be careful with that. When you blow you spit small saliva particles, and that could damage the connectors on the long run.
Did the same thing and it worked thanks man
Emmanuel use small fan for that :)
Do you have a link for the tri-wing screwdriver or is a Y 0.6 tri-wing screwdriver the same thing? Thank you!
Use the ifixit ph00 and the Y00
It worked. I didnt have any WD40 so I just blew into it (I know, "you shouldn't do that"). Anyways, that worked. Something so small and simple. The old Sega 'blow into the cartridge' trick worked 🤣
Water makes contact easier but it also corrodes
Beware that Wd-40 is not the product number but a brand and there are lots of Wd-40 products of different kinds, some of which are highly inappropriate for use on your switch
I'm having this problem on my left joycon and I don't want to disassemble my switch maybe I shoukd try the contact cleaner first.
I just got a new switch and the problem happens again
Thank you!
Worked great, thank you!
If it helps anyone, go to the controllers tab on the HOME menu and tap search controllers, and make your controller vobrate for some seconds. It worked for me.
Thank you so much it worked for me
the nintendo switch always have problems
I don’t know if you still reply but: I noticed that my contact pins were black. Does that mean that they burned or got too dirty and the substance was burned? My sibling’s Switch had too much cheese dust in the right side of the joycon slot and I had to open it up. If it is broken, should I manually replace it or call Nintendo? And where could I get the replacement part?
try contacting nintendo or replace the faulty part. buy it on aliexpress.
sthetix would you happen to have a link? I’ll still look it up anyways in the morning. Thanks for the help!
there are a lot of sellers in aliexpress.. e.g. vivigame store
it seems i have scratched a little bit of yellow of the connector like those yellow lines and there is just one black part will that be a problem
scratch it.
Thanks
After taking the rail apart I noticed a lot of corrosion on the pins, the rubbing alcohol did not fix the issue. What are the other options at this point?
maybe replace the rail..
@@sthetixofficial Ya that might be my only option, but the left one seems like a pain in the ass to replace because the cable goes under the battery
oh its easy.. lift the board a little bit then u can remove it.
Thank you so much 😭
The cleanser solve my problem
Great music as usual man! Whats the song btw? I don't see the title in the description.
i took them from envato elements, from several titles. thx
Thanks a lot my bro,,
U r welcome
I’m having this problem but with my right joy con. Can you make a video for that? Or should I just do what this videos says but on the right side.
do the same guide but apply it to the right joycon. same method.
Thanks 🙏🏻👍🏻
What about my case its not the rail its joycon itself but 3rd party joycon have the issue but when i put the original joycon no disconecting issue how to fix in joycon not the table rail
well, maybe you need to check the 3rd party joycon rail.
Can I do this on the right rail?
Great! Thanks. …what if it is the fault of the joy con itself?
Then repair the joycon.
@@sthetixofficial how?
Like repair the joycon rail or try checking the joycon contact pins, maybe they are dirty
@@sthetixofficial Thanks! Update: They were dirty!
Any cliff notes? This only happens to me when I remove from the switch and want to play on the TV.
wireless disconnection?
@@sthetixofficial yes
How long does the wd-40 need to dry?
2 secs
Well I just found out that the little holder broke off thank god I got a replacement but this one the screws on the back is hard to get out and I don’t want to strip them
👍
I’d do this if it wasn’t so risky because this issue makes handheld mode unusable.
THANK YOU SO MCH!
I wonder if the same solution would work on the joucon itself and not the system. My left purple disconnects randomly when in game.
yes same thing.
@@sthetixofficial but it's not like I wiggle it and it disconnects. It sits tightly there. But when like 5 to 10 minutes pass, it disconnects and turns on wireless mode
you need to check / clean the contact pins
This saves me 300 ringgit . From Malaysia
bagus lah..
My old joycons didnt have this problem but I bought some new ones off ebay and they are doing this. Does it still means that i have to do this to my switch?
hmm, i think there is a problem with the joycon.
@@sthetixofficial lol i used the same logic as this video, i cleaned the joycon connectors with alchool and it worked. Thanks bro
Got to try wd-40 part cause I don't have the tools for the other part
My fox it using blowing it and it work
TYSM i am subing
Nintendo why does a wireless controller need to connect physically, stupid system
Is it the same procedure for the right joyconn?
yes
Can you replace it with another joy con slider like from amazon
yes
I did that and it's still doing it. I replaced the rail and bought a new controller and it's still doing it
1:27 what is " a while " ? 10min? 30? 1hr?
A couple of hours should be fine probs around 4 or 5
Does it have to be isopropyl alcohol to clean it ?
yes
sthetix can i spray the wd-40 on the joycon
Thx
Nintendo has ways to screw up anything from games, hardware, and controllers they might be richest company in japan with the most horrible fanboys but people who find solutions to these are the coolest guys yet thanks.
This was such a pain cause I cudnt put my switch hardcore case on cause it kept disconnect ing
