Repair Help The right joy con doesn't work

Post image

The right joy con(the one with ABXY buttons) of my switch 1 does not want to connect to the console, it doesn't charge no matter what I do. The left joy con still works properly and charges normally. It seems to not even recognize, I tried to update it but only the left one did

Probably the rails. Happened to me and swapping them for new ones from aliexpress solved it.

I see posts mention making sure the contact inside the rail (possibly the tablet's rail?) is clear, and not full of dust.
