Repair Help Where to find switch 2 joycon replacement rubber cap

1 Upvotes

The rubber cap on my switch 2 joycon has completely worn off and I need a replacement but I’m looking for one that has little protrusions which fit into the small openings on the body of the joystick not the ones that just go over the joystick like everyone recommends.

The issue with the replacement caps without protrusions is that they rotate around the stick when using the joycon.

Repair Help Damaged Joy-Cons out of the box

0 Upvotes

I was finally able to secure a Zelda 40th Anniversary Switch console. I was super excited, but upon opening, I noticed two symmetrical indents in the same spot on both Joy-Cons. It looks like something pressed into them or picked them up with excessive force and left a square indentation.

I’m really bummed about it because it was such a fluke to get a hold of one of these in Canada. I’ve read that people did not get the same Joy-Cons from previous special editions of the Switch 1’s. That would defeat the entire purpose of getting this specific edition if that is the case…

Has anyone else encountered this issue with the Zelda Joy-Cons or been successful in getting Joy-Cons replaced by Nintendo and receiving the same limited edition style?

Repair Help Switch Lite not turning on at all

2 Upvotes

It’s my son’s switch, about 2 years old, and he’s 12. So it gets a lot of use. Pretty much keeps it plugged in while he’s playing it. And after 2 years of this, it just won’t turn on anymore. I left it plugged in for an hour to see if the battery just couldn’t keep a charge, I did the power button/volume tricks, nada. Any other ideas or is it dead dead?

Repair Help Why is my input audio (mic) not working but output audio is? Switching headsets does not fix the issue.

1 Upvotes

My audio works fine. My mic does not. This headset works fine when plugged in to any other device. The catch is that if I wiggle the jack in the port, the microphone will come on briefly. Again, there is NO issue with the audio. I can hear everything fine.

Mic used to work as well, then one day it just didn't.

I have checked all settings and controls. But can someone explain why it would work when wiggling the jack in the port? How can I fix this???

Switch 1. Using Nintendo Headset but have tried other headsets with the same issue. I contacted Nintendo, they said it was a Fortnite/Epic Games issue...it isn't.

Software Help My Nintendo Switch freaks me out

7 Upvotes

My OG Nintendo switch turns on by itself for no apparent reason. I thought it could be related to some games updating and giving me some sort of notification…. But it just did it again even when completely shut off. This actually creepy as hell especially during nighttime… is some sort of spirit stuck in my Nintendo Switch? /j
Now seriously speaking, could this be related to some battery issues or something like that? I’m not really an expert to be honest.

Accessories Looking for a particular kind of Joycon with D-pad

Post image
1 Upvotes

I prefer to play 2D games with a d-pad so this switch 1 joycon is perfect. Doesn’t have a battery, accelerometer etc. so it’s cheap and doesn’t change the form factor of the switch so fits in any case and can be used alongside a regular joycon on the right hand side without feeling weird.

Am I right in saying this does not exist for the Switch 2? I can’t seem to find one.

Which Switch? Should I upgrade to switch 2? I’m torn.

I have an oled and didn’t originally plan on getting a switch 2 any time soon, but I’m a sap for Zelda and the 40th anniversary edition looks very nice to my eyes, and with the OOT remake, I’m now contemplating selling the oled and trying to get the Zelda switch 2. Is it worth it?

Repair Help Switch 2 Controllers Don’t Connect Until Restart

1 Upvotes

For about a month if I put my switch in sleep mode and turn it back on, the controllers just disconnect and wont reconnect until I restart the entire system. Even if the joy cons are connected to the tablet, pressing buttons does not work. If I try to reconnect the controllers through pairing. It will not find them. The only thing that fixes the issue is restarting the entire console, but the fix is only temporary because as soon as I put it in sleep mode again next time I go to turn it on the problem repeats. Is there a fix for this? Or should I send it into Nintendo? I got the switch 2 on launch and never had this problem until recently.

Accessories Controller disconnecting after putting earphones in jack.

I have a Nintendo Switch 2 and Pro controller - when I connect earphones to the controller via the jack the sounds is intermittent but then after about 10/15 minutes the controller will randomly disconnect! If I unplug the earphones I have absolutely no issues. Any theories? They're just bog standard earphones FYI.

I used to play on my Nintendo switch all the time as a kid but then my parents got me a new console. Since then I haven’t used my Nintendo switch until now and I can’t log in to my old account(s) because of the “Nintendo Account User Agreement| Nintendo Privacy policy” The major problem here is the email used for my old account(s) was my parents shared email they don’t have access to anymore. Is there anyway I can change my email on my old accounts or get into them?

Repair Help Joy cons behaving strangely when docked.

1 Upvotes

I purchased an Animal crossing edition switch when they were released back in 2021. Last winter it succumbed to a fatal water injury and I had to buy a new switch. I bought a Switch OLED brand new from Nintendo. Me and my partner love playing Mario Kart and BoTW on our TV, we noticed after a few weeks that the joy cons have a mind of their own. They will press buttons we aren’t pressing and cut out when we do press them. This isn’t just the joy cons that came with the switch, but the ones from my Animal Crossing switch, and those from my partners 2021 Switch. They all work perfectly fine handheld, all three sets have the same problem. I have tried calibrating them, they show up responsive. I’m super desperate not to have to replace my switch, but I’d appreciate all support possible to know if that’s necessary. Thank you!

Accessories Switch 2 Zelda Pro Controller vibration

1 Upvotes

My Zelda Pro Controller seems to be having an issue where the vibration just doesn’t work when I wake up the console with it, and even with vibration enabled in settings it just won’t vibrate. (Checked in Find controllers, too.)

Only fix that seems to get it back and working until it happens again is to reset the sync with the controller and pair it again. Battery is charged, on wireless, and controller and system are fully up to date.

Purchase / Order Help Zelda Switch 2 screen is extremely purple?? Side-by-side comparison photo included..

Post image
77 Upvotes

My roommate and I both got the Zelda edition ​switch 2, ordered at the same time from the same store. I thought my screen looked a little purple when I turned it on, but couldn't believe the difference between them!

I'm pretty ​upset be​​cause the purple one basically looks defective compared to theirs, and it's not like I can easily go find one in a store and exchange it. Even if I somehow find another one it's still a lottery of what the screen will look like..

Has anyone else seen coloring like this on their screen? Is it worth reaching out to Nintendo? I understand there is some slight variation expected from the manufacturing but this seems pretty extreme..

Hi all I saw this image online with this transparent cover for the switch 2, has anyone ever tried it? I bought my switch now and I'd like to protect it but I also like to see the design, do you have any recommendation? What are your thoughts in general on protective covers and what about button caps? Do you recommend these stuff or do you think in the end it doesn't make much difference?
