Hardware Right controller pins

[Zebybite]

So.... My right controller won't connect.....and it seems my pins are a bit off....how bad is it? Do I have to send it back to Nintendo? Will Nintendo know that I entered rcm mode a million times from this?

Also, I know I need to use an actual jig instead of a paperclip, I'm just a bit too cheap

I mean if the joycon still chages you are fine doesnt matter if the system detects it has connected or not seeing they are 2 different pins though if it doesnt you could always replace the entire rail and yes if you sent it into nintendo they can patch it

What do you mean by patch? Like, I couldn't even enter rcm?

Has anyone seen this happen before, or is it just a possiblity?

I believe it has happened to a few

Oh boy, looks like I'm replacing the rail myself

Do you know where I can get a good guide to replace the rail by myself, I'm ordering a new rail and jig, and I don't want to mess up the rail installation

I'm just a bit too cheap

As with everything in life ,generally, cheap now will cost you more later.

Ya, I've figured that out after buying a new rail

Nintendo can't iPatch YOUR switch as they burn the iPatch fuses at factory so can't be updated

But they probably will send you a NEW switch with the new iPatch

Best to replace the rail yourself

I'm having trouble with the console itself, I damaged the part where you insert the joycon, both my right controllers still works perfectly fine wirelessly, just not physically.

Thanks for trying to help, but that's the wrong part, but I already ordered a new rail from Amazon. It's nothing wrong with my controller, its the console.

That's how it was with me. Pins 9 and 10 we're jammed back. Couldn't connect it physically. I resynced the controller and it connected physically
