    While removing the Switch battery to fix it not powering up, I accidentally rip the cable of the right joycon rail. Is there any chance of fixing this or am I risking shorting the switch or something by trying to force it back together. Do you think I need to buy a new joycon rail?

    I did this on my first teardown. Ended up buying new one from ebay. Ran me <$10.

    The one with the shorter cable is the right side rail.
