Hacking Be cafeful using aluminium foil (tin foil)

[PegLegs]

I used foil to access RCM on my Switch, took it out and struggled to get it back in, now my right Joy-con doesn't register as a physical connection when the foil has been removed, it says it's connected wirelessly even though it's charging.

BUY A JIG, don't do what I did

What else is new? I got some reed switches in the mail today just in case I ever feel like installing them.

Look at adjusting the pins. May be out of place.

Stop using foil.

Yeah it happened to me, all I did was resync the joycons and that fixed it.

Happened to me too

Kind of what happens when you cheap out and don’t want to spend £2 on a 3D printed JIG

DUH, you should be demoted a level for even using foil

Wow thanks, thought it fucked up my right Joy-con, that fixed it

I done this by chipping the 10th pin on my actual switch rail, lucky I got a spare set from eBay and fixed it myself than made a jig from an old joycon

Just resync, problem solved. It happens. Understandable panic

 

[M-Gardevoir]

Nothing just resync it.

BTW solder 10 to 9 is the best way to get RCM mode.

This happened to me using a proper jig. As others have stated you need to resync the joycon or turn the controller off and back on for it to register correctly.

hey now, everyone walks their own road of risk when they choose to even try mod their system in anyway
