So im tryna fix my rail as the sync button and LED's werent working.
After like 3 hours trying to solve the issue, The ribbon cable holder thing was TRASH and wasnt holding it down properly, had to put it in such a specific position it made me want to throw it out the window, no fucking joke, almost did it too, I have red joycons imported from japan, so I honestly fucking could have. ¬.¬ sort your shit out nintendo.

Anyway, found out the what the purposes of the middle and left ribbon cables that connect to the rail are for.

Middle:
- Powers the LED's
- Allows the rail itself to get powered by the switch
- Basically "Power related stuff".

Left:
- Powers the buttons ZL, ZR and Sync.

So I have the Middle one FINALLY doing something, but fml after like 3 hours doing it, now I gotta open it back up, fuck up its position, and get the left one working.
f to pay respects plz I need F before I fucking throw it out the window
If I end up throwing it out the window, ill record fuck it

Yeah, it's not Nintendo that's trash, it's you not being extra careful. I know this, because when I have tried to hurry in completing a set a while back, I've made the same error.

Also, don't use Flathead screwdrivers to pry or push anything. A tiny plastic pry tool will help tremendously here.
