![]() ![]() In reality, you don’t have to remove these, but I wanted to be able to see what I was working on clearly. The screws are tiny so I used a strong magnet to store them on top of (that is what the red thing is.)Īfter that, remove the one small screw holding the bar in place. Had I used Plastimake before, I would have known this and would have used Worbla’s instead.įirstly, remove all the screws. Other thermoplastic that cosplayers will be familiar with, such as Worbla’s, has a sticky side and will stick to most materials. Warning: The plastimake didn’t work as it does not have a sticky composition. Selley’s plastic glue (this is what I ended up using) Thermoplastic (I used plastimake, but it was not the one to use) As it turns out, this was a common problem – just not common enough for Nintendo to do anything about it. I also didn’t want to be without a Switch for a long time I’ve heard repairs can take a while.įrustrated and not wanting to spend more on separate Joy-Cons, considering I only used the Switch as advertised, I did some research. I’d have sent the entire Switch to Nintendo for repairs, but I couldn’t guarantee it would return with the save files or the games I’d downloaded. So I went to Big W, who was more than happy to help. I couldn’t really prove it wasn’t from misuse unfortunately, so I figured that I would get nowhere fast. I’d had the Switch for a month, and was fairly unhappy about the response. I received a tentative “from your description, it has occurred from misuse” reply. It didn’t really affect gameplay, but I didn’t want it to get worse. Somehow, part of the plastic had either been sheared off, or had moulded around the lock.Ĭoncerned, I rang Nintendo. Nintendo has faced persistent complaints about Joy-Con drift since launch, which includes class action lawsuits over the widespread defect, and an investigation into the issue by the European Commission following over 25,000 consumer complaints.On the small grey lock mechanism was a tiny chip. "We expect all our hardware to perform as designed, and, if anything falls short of this goal, we always encourage consumers to contact Nintendo customer support, who will be happy to openly and leniently resolve any consumer issues related to the Joy-Con controllers' analogue sticks, including in cases where the warranty may no longer apply." "The percentage of Joy-Con controllers that have been reported as experiencing issues with the analogue stick in the past is small, and we have been making continuous improvements to the Joy-Con analogue stick since its launch in 2017," Nintendo said to Which following the investigation. It also wants Nintendo to promote this scheme so consumers can clearly access the support available for faulty hardware. It also wants the firm to commit to a "no quibble", free of charge repair replacement of controllers that have been affected by drift since 2017. ![]() Which is calling on Nintendo to commission an independent investigation into the causes of Joy-Con drift, and to make the findings of said investigation public. Nintendo offers a 24-month warranty on Switch consoles, and buyers can book a repair on the console maker's website. ![]() The company claims that finding support for faulty Joy-Cons is somewhat unclear. While 79% of the respondents that did contact Nintendo for repairs or a replacement controller received one, 19% did not. Half of the console owners also said they opted to replace the faulty device themselves rather than ask Nintendo to fix it. Of that 40%, over half (57%) shared that they'd experienced Joy-Con drift within the first year of purchasing a classic Switch. The data comes from a YouGov survey that the firm conducted in March with 919 adults in the UK. UK consumer watchdog Which has released a new report that claims over 40% of Joy-Con controllers for the base Nintendo Switch are hindered by drift issues. ![]()
