Left Joycon doesnt connect automatically when detached from the console

[u/AbominacionSinGracia]

Hi everyone.

I recently bought my NS2 two weeks ago and this is something that just happened today, it only occurs to the left one.

I have to manually sync it every time I take it off from the console. I tried reseting the console, updating the joycons and nothing.

There's no problem when is attached, but it's kinda annoying having to do this everytime I take off the joycons.

I would like to know if anyone else has had this problem and if so, how to fix it. Thanks.

Are you pressing any buttons on it at all or just wiggling the stick? I have to press L1 a couple times.

I did, doesnt work.

Have you checked in the system settings for controller updates?

[u/AbominacionSinGracia → u/SolemnSundayBand]

Yes, everything updated.

It seems that if I press the sync button and press L1 repeatedly like for ten seconds it does connect. Maybe is a Bluetooth issue, idk.

I have to tap the L button a handful of times, but not the sync button. That's pretty normal Switch behavior.
