I have a Pokemon Scarlet joycon that stopped working after I opened it up for a repair. I double/triple checked everything and it’s all connected, I let it charge and nothing. I don’t really want to send it to Nintendo since they don’t guarantee a replacement of the same style. Should I take it in somewhere to be looked at, or should I just buy a replacement and do a shell swap?
Ideally, you can return it from where you purchased it.
Wait, you said stopped working after you opened it? Why did you open it to begin with?
Nintendo returns are a bit of a hassle but doable, but if they can’t guarantee a 1-1 replacement, you might be on the hook for a swap (I don’t know what this takes to do or feasibility of it), or, may be sell the replacement and use the money to buy an exact replacement online?
I can’t think of any other avenues to get you whole. I love the Switch, but joy-cons are trash.
