I have a Pokemon Scarlet joycon that stopped working after I opened it up for a repair. I double/triple checked everything and it’s all connected, I let it charge and nothing. I don’t really want to send it to Nintendo since they don’t guarantee a replacement of the same style. Should I take it in somewhere to be looked at, or should I just buy a replacement and do a shell swap?

    Did you disconnect the battery without shorting the two terminals together or using a metal tool? You should never ever unplug anything in a device until after you’ve unplugged the battery.

      That might be it, though I believed I used plastic tools. The only thing I unplugged was the cable that runs between the two plastic panels.

        Hm… it’s not best practice, but that shouldn’t kill it entirely either. Ah I wish you were local, I’d love to take a look at it.
