    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.

    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!!! 😭

      @FireeFoxy 4 роки тому +2

      @@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 😄👍🏻
