Operating Instructions: Joycon Joystick Replacement

Follow these steps carefully to replace the drifting joystick in your Nintendo Switch Joy-Con controller. The process involves opening the controller, removing the old joystick, and installing the new one.

Step 1: Prepare the Joy-Con

  1. Ensure your Nintendo Switch console is powered off.
  2. Carefully detach the Joy-Con controller you wish to repair from the console.
  3. Using the Y1.5 Tri-wing screwdriver, remove the four screws located on the back of the Joy-Con controller. Keep these screws in a safe place, such as the provided kit box, to avoid losing them.

Step 2: Open the Joy-Con Casing

  1. Gently pry open the Joy-Con casing. Be extremely careful not to pull the two halves apart forcefully, as they are connected by delicate ribbon cables.
  2. Once opened, you will see the internal components, including the battery and circuit board.

Step 3: Remove Battery and Internal Components

  1. Carefully lift the battery. It may be lightly adhered; gently peel it away. Do not disconnect the battery cable unless necessary. Slide the battery to the side, ensuring the cable is not strained.
  2. Locate the plastic separator plate covering the circuit board. Remove the screws holding this plate in place using the +1.5 Cross Screwdriver. Gently lift and remove the plastic plate.
  3. Identify the ribbon cables connecting the joystick to the main circuit board. Carefully unlatch the small plastic clips holding the ribbon cables in place and gently pull the cables out. Use tweezers if needed.

  2. Take a new replacement joystick from your kit. Align its ribbon cables with the connectors on the circuit board and gently push them into place. Secure the plastic clips to lock the cables.
  3. Position the new joystick correctly within the Joy-Con casing.

Step 5: Replace Plastic Slider Locks with Metal Locks (Optional but Recommended)

If your Joy-Con slides out easily due to worn plastic locks, replace them with the included alloy metal slider locks for enhanced durability and a secure fit.

  1. Locate the plastic slider locks on the side of the Joy-Con. Carefully remove them.
  2. Install the new metal slider locks in their place. Ensure they are correctly oriented and seated.
