[QUOTE="Cyan, post: 6495367, member: 746"] You can't assign a letter to the partition, because there's no partition table. the tool you used to create the WBFS partition deleted the partition table (which can define up to 4 different partitions), and your drive is one big partition. Windows expect a table to list the partitions and assign them letters (even if unformated or unknown format). Some wbfs tools could format a partition from the 4 possible partition and keep the table, other tools was just overwriting the partition table. I don't know if wbfs2fat works with no MBR (MBR = partition table). Maybe wwt (Wiimm's WBFS tool) has some option to move the WBFS allocation table and generate a MBR? there's not a lot of WBFS application to manage drive's partitions :( wwt and wbfs2fat are probably the only ones. I'll call [USER=191758]@Wiimm[/USER] here, maybe he knows how to create a partition table on drives with WBFS partition starting at sector 0. edit : I don't know enough about WBFS format, but I think the first sector contains the WBFS header (12 bytes) and a disc table up to the end of the first sector. 1 byte = 1 game, 512 bytes/sector = 500 max games, 4096 bytes/sector = 4084 max games. Then probably a list of allocated blocs for each disc entry, then the game's data. So, it would require moving few sectors to create a partition table sector 0 (WBFS header->MBR) sector 1 (disc info start (lba aligned?)-> WBFS Header) sector disc_data1 (moved first disc info to the end of the array) if disc table 1 is used (disc 1 bloc 1->unused sector, set the new LBA in disc info) that's the shortest method, else it would require deleting (or moving + fixing LBA of the first game) and rewrite the full header sector -> sector+1 using dd.

I bought a pair of joy cons for really cheap, but the right side wasn't being detected by the console when attached to it, it was charging though

I took a look at the rail and noticed that the two last pins were soldered for some reason, luckly I still had the rail of my broken joycon so after I swapped them I was able to use it attached to the console

I'm pretty sure I know the reason it was soldered, but I don't know why someone would do that directly on the joycon
