Hardware Bent pins with jig, joycon not connecting

[AliceOnDrugs]

Hi guys, I've used the rcm jig and bent my pins, now the console don't recognize the joycon as attached.

Issue is, I've done a factory reset (dumb move) and now I realize it NEEDS to recognize both joycons as attached to start. So, stuck in a loop.

Anyone got an idea on how to "connect" it or bypass the screen? I'm not from the states so repair services are a strange thing.

Not an immediate solution, but I'd get a replacement rail like this one:

It's a no-solder job replacing the rail, just involves unscrewing some stuff and screwing it back in.

And I'd get a high quality jig like this one (the Xkit jig):

Yep replace your rail.

There's a reason f0f's original jig design used pins from a micro usb connecter rather than a big chunk of hard wire, I'm surprised we haven't seen more of these threads.
