Hardware My console has a Heartbeat

[MyconMama]

Help: My switch vibrates faintly while in sleep mode as though it has a heartbeat-- barely felt pulses from both joycons every couple seconds. No idea why it's doing it. Joycons only do it while attached to the console, and are securely connected. Does it regardless of charging status. Figure it may be contributing to battery drain, which has sometimes enough recently to kill it in one day of sleep.

You sure that the Joy-Con aren't repeatedly disconnecting and reconnecting?

lmao
It should be the Joycons reconnecting

Restore nand, check if the problem still exists, if it does: send it to nintendo...

Sounds like a factory reset is in store.

5 and a half years later and I literally noticed the same thing with my switch.. I thought that I was turning paranoid since its midnight for me and I hear the switch beating next to me
