Could it be an issue with the rail or joycon connector since you say it works fine in Bluetooth mode? Maybe some dirty contacts or bent pins?

Damn, i just noticed my switch is damaged in 2 places near tablet rail xD but rail looks itself not broken,
so that the reason why left joycon cant be dedected by console at handheld mode. Well got 2 daughters one is 6 year old and second is 2 year old. Any chance to find somewhere left tablet rail replament and how hard it will
be to repair it by myself or mby better give it to some post-warranty repair service ?

Well if the rail is indeed the problem (in the image I can only see that the back cover has pieces broken off), you should be able to replace it fairly easily with the right screwdrivers :)
ifixit sells all kinds of replacement parts for the switch (joy con rail e.g.: https://www.ifixit.com/Store/Game-Console/Nintendo-Switch-Left-Joy-Con-Sensor-Rail/IF378-021?o=2, and they also have the back cover), but ebay can also be a good stop for spare parts.
The required screwdrivers are Phillips 00 and Y00.

buy replacement parts from replacebase. they have the only ones that worked for me. all the other replacement parts providers sent me working right ones, but broken left ones (i have like 9 pairs of rails here lol. DM me if you want some of them)

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space
