Thanks for this. Had watched the first video that popped up in the search results and almost took apart my controller. Thank goodness I watched this as well - perfect fix.
I usually play with my brother so we connect the switch with the tv and use the joycons to play 1v1 on ssbu, but sometimes they don't connect and sometimes, we get to play a little and then they start getting all delayed and stuff, after that they keep disconnecting please help!!
I have a problem with my controllers, when i detach my joycons from the switch, and try to use them without the being on the switchs tablet, they just dont connect, can someone help.??
Your a life saver! I had already spent over 20 minutes trying to pair one of my controllers because one of them connected but the other didn’t. Then when I took the disconnected one out of the switch, it was paired but the other one wasn’t. This really helped! I totally recommend this to others with the same issue I had.
Thank you! My controllers stopped connecting by wireless all of a sudden and had no idea on how to fix it. Tried your solution and it worked right away 👍
Hey. I am having a MAJOR problem and I was wondering if you could help me figure this out. So, when I have both of my joycons connected to the console, and then I take them out and hit a button...only the red (right) joycon is turning on. The blue (left) joycon only has the green light that goes back and forth. The only way for the blue one to work is when it's actually connected to the console. I've had this issue for a while now, and nowhere online has been able to give me and answers. Please help me! I'd be forever greatful!!! 😭
@@TheSlocher I was able to call Nintendo and found out that they have a whole customer service area where they strictly deal with Nintendo joycons. Why? Because they've been having the same issues reoccurring with a lot of people. They emailed me some shipping instructions and I sent the joycon to their New York location (i think, but this was a while ago). They sent me a brand new left joycon for free. I suggest that if you're having the same situation, that you call them up and request the same thing I did. Let me know if this helps 😄👍🏻
Fire Fox Thank you, it did! I actually did this last night, I remembered that there is a service center here in my town. I hope they’ll give me a replacement as well!
This actually works I thought I would have to keep searching for vids to find the right one and this was the first one I click on to amazing work Brandon
Thank you so much for your video. I couldn’t figure out why one of our switches wouldn’t connect any of our Bluetooth controllers. This was the only helpful information I have found. Everything is connected now
for some reson my left one wasnt working when hand held then when i did that the left controler fixt and then the right one stoped working at all idk why?
I have a right controller and all of the sudden it says its not connected and it wont reconnect. I fully charged them and the light on it wont turn on, what do I do??
I fully charged both of my joy cons, left them on for a full day, I followed all the steps, yet it still isn’t working. Is there a way to tell if my controllers are charging.
Not only do I have connection issues with my right joy con, my switch will not shut of normally, as in it will not turn of if you press the power button. And of course I have the drift issues as well.
Ty bro, ur a real life saver. Ive been spending like an hour trying to fix it looking at tutorials but they only had tutorials for while attatched to the switch 😂
All 3 of my controllers my blue legend of Zelda purple master sword and red controllers weren’t contacting and thanks to you I managed to fix them thank you:)

Hey thanks for the tutorial, my sister and I enjoy plying the switch, but the only issue that we have is one of our joycons is prob just a bad joycon as I bout it used, but the other 3 work again have a good day.
Does anyone knows a fix but for the pro controller? I paired it to my phone, un paired it from there and now it doesn't works wirelessly with my Switch (it works fine when connected via USB though)
My joycon won’t connect to the switch at all, not even when it’s not on the switch! I’ve tried every possible way to fix my joy con and it doesn’t work
Man it dosent work like nothing can fix it you have to buy new ones My joy con is a year old now and nothing can fix it if something does I'll be suprised
Good video. For some reason, my controllers refused to connect wirelessly. They would work when attached to the switch directly though.. afyer doing these steps, its back to normal. Thanks for the vids man👍🏿👍🏿
Question:how do you disconnect the joycon because my red one is not connecting and I tried disconnecting it but my X button was not connected so I couldn’t disconnect so it was not an option,Please tell me how to disconnect cuz lucky for you,your joy cons were working so you could disconnect but I couldn’t cuz the X button was not connected so please make a video on fixing it when the joycon is not connected or my switch is DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMED😢🙏🙏😭🙏🙏🙏🙏🥺😫😢 PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My joy con works fine when connected but as soon as I take it off, it doesn’t light up or work in any capacity. Pls help.
