I Spent $275 on Broken Joy-Cons - Can I Fix Them for Profit?

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

I Spent $275 on Broken Joy-Cons - Can I Fix Them for Profit? I bought 18 untested Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons on eBay to see if I could fix them and then sell them to make money. The Joy-Con conditions varied with some working correctly already and others having problems like broken R buttons, control stick issues, a missing rail, and I even fixed a controller that wouldn't stop buzzing.

About This Video: I bought 18 Switch Joy-Con controllers for $15.27 per controller. The most common problem I found was broken R buttons but I also had to work on thumb stick problems, replace a missing rail, and replace a motherboard. I ended up being able to fix 16 out of the 18 and I've already sold 5 of them for a profit of about $10 per controller.

    There are plenty of other buttons that have thicker metal clasps that also have wings that solder into through-hole points on the board. Considering the fact the buttons are surrounded by naked PCB or ground-plane, Nintendo absolutely should have used those types of buttons instead. In many cases, the stronger buttons cost exactly the same, just are a different SKU. They're saving less than a tenth of a cent in solder and tooling per Joycon. The GBA SP had the reinforced buttons I just mentioned. No excuse.

If you can't get can air just lift the flap up with a toothpick or something and just blow into it. Also smacking it did not work so don't whack it. Using compressed air worked for me and it hasn't drifted since I cleaned it, I hope this works for you.

    He used pretty standard stuff to do that. 1: Likely some tweezers or dental cleaning thing, the paint (called soldermask, btw) is really thin. 2: fine tipped soldering iron. also some steady hands helps. And if you apply flux straight onto your iron, it'll just evaporate right off. Hence why you always apply to the solder pads.

When its attached to the switch it tells me that the right joy-con is not charged but at the same time it doesnt want to charge the joy-con. I opened up the joy-con again and tested the battery on the other joy-con and it works totally fine so I assume that the connection between the battery and the connectors is disabled and I dont know how I managed to do that XD The connectors on the switch are working ive tested it with some other joy-cons so yeah idk if I will be able to fix it because I dont have this device where you can check the parts for any shorts etc.

    I have *3* PS3 controllers laying around my house. The OG one *ocasionaly* drifts and of the other 2, one probably has drift on *BOTH* sticks and the other has constant drift on the left stick and if you press on the other one hard enough it will also drift. Needless to say, I played with a PS4 controller for about a week that had the left bumper stick if you pressed on it "hard" enough, thankfully that one went away after a clean. I do use the OG for Sonic Unleashed for the extra sensitivity and the drifting rarely happens and I usually get rid of it by pressing in the stick harder than normal then releasing it as hard as possible.
