Video was super helpful. My nephew’s broke the exact same way. Will attempt to fix. Worse case his parents will have to order new ones again 😂

Omg, I broke the exact same thing when I took apart my joycon for the first time. I didn't think it was possible to fix it because the pads were gone. If only I had a soldering iron and knew how to solder tiny points like that

Awesome video, thank you! What were the very fine wires you were using as jumpers? From the pads to the board?

Enamel wire, 0.01mm. Its fine coated wire but once you put solder on it the coating removes.

Cheers for the video, where'd you get the blister pack of replacement buttons?

aliexpress. Get them in packs of 5/10.

What kind of wire did you use? Thanks for the tutorial!

I have two boards I need to do this on thanks for the video. Quick question from an amateur, can I use a small dab of hot glue as a solder mask?

@fixingmoddingbuilding

Жыл бұрын

You don't really need solder mask, where the traces are is not really getting touched or moved. If you put hot glue on you need to really flatten it as the plastic piece that goes over the top of it will not fit correctly. Any other questions just get in touch. 👍

@@fixingmoddingbuilding thank you for the quick reply. I appreciate it!

Any idea if there are any other point I can tap into? I managed to melt off the solder pad for the test point, the tiny bit of the original trace that remains is as thin as a light scratch on a phone screen. Literally will not tin 😮‍💨 good times lol

Flux and enamel wire, sorry cannot remember the thickness but its thin!

Did this fix a few weeks ago, was working OK but random buttons now keep pressing on this joycon to the point it is unusable.

That will mean one of the wires is shorting, most likely one has come loose

hello sir,so i tried to fix it and while i placed everything back like i should be my joy con not react to any buttons except analog stick, What could I possibly did wrong is there something u suggest me to check ?? thank you

If the analogue stick still works, it shows its not dead which is a positive! Check all ribbon cable connectors to make sure they are all inserted correctly, one might not be fully seated?

It some cheapish one I bought off Amazon, it got good reviews but I dont think its great, doesnt flow well and doesnt clean up easily, I am looking for something new.

Can I use solder instead of wire?

definitely not, solder wire is not designed for this application.

It helps the solder flow and stick, I never used to use it so it's doable without but helps with.
