Nintendo Switch Lite: Problema eixo Y do d-pad e do analógico.

Sun, 09 Nov 2025 09:47:27 -0700

Olá, pessoal.

Vejam se conseguem me ajudar, por favor. Ao acessar o menu configuração do meu Switch Lite, percebi que tanto o analógico como e d-pad não rolam a barra para cima (isso só acontece no menu configuração). Ou seja, o d-pad e o analógico estão sensivelmente afetados, tanto que só percebi esse problema acessando o menu "configuração". Acredito que não estão atingindo seus valores máximos no eixo Y para cima. Sincronizei o joycon de outro Switch neste Switch lite, e mesmo assim o problema persistiu.

Vocês tem alguma ideia de qual é problema? Não é o flat, não é problema de calibração, não se trata de problema no d-pad e no analógico. Acredito que possa ser alguma resistência na placa mãe.

Em uma ocasião, passei álcool isopropílico perto do flat e nas resistências e capacitores que ficam ao entorno (vide foto), o d-pad e o analógico voltaram a funcionar 100%, mas depois o problema retornou após o álcool isopropílico evaporar 100%. Acredito que esse funcionando ocorreu devido a alguma interferência do álcool em alguma resistência.

Encaminho foto do setor que passei álcool. Encaminho também foto do menu a que me refiro. O comando para cima está sendo obedecido, tanto que a caixa de seleção se move entre as opções do menu. É só a barra de rolagem que não obedece o comando, ou seja, ela não rola.

Grato por qualquer ajuda.

Att, Erick

Nintendo Switch: Stripped middle screw on Nintendo Switch shield plate - No extractors or power tools

Sun, 14 Jun 2026 01:27:53 -0700

I am following the Nintendo Switch Battery Replacement guide and have encountered a stripped screw on the shield plate (specifically the middle screw). I do not have a screw extractor set and I am not comfortable using a rotary/cutting tool on the device. I have already tried the rubber band method and using different sizes of screwdrivers without success. Does the community have any non-destructive "household" tips for removing a small, stubborn stripped JIS screw in this specific location?

Nintendo Switch OLED Model: Need help identifying capacitors please.

Tue, 02 Jun 2026 09:39:41 -0700

My daughters Nintendo OLED stopped charging. It would charge slightly with a movement of the usb c cord. Thought that this could be related to a loose charging port. I decided to try a hand in micro-soldering. Was able to remove and replace, but the hands free station I had bought was a bit rough on the board. The clips were strong and the teeth had removed a few capacitors. I have tried to look up and somewhat learn about them, the size, the voltage, and mF power. I need help so I can try and replace these pieces, please. I have tried to circle and number the areas in question on the photo. All help and info is welcome please.

Nintendo Switch: Is my battery swelling? Please help :(

Tue, 02 Jun 2026 04:09:55 -0700

The crack in the shell near the battery is slightly bigger than the crack near the audiojack. Do you guys think the battery might have started swelling? I have been using my switch since 2018 and I have never repaired it. There were periods of time when it would lay in its case for months due to no free time, but since January I have been playing it a lot (Persona 5 Royal is very fun). I can fit the corner of my nail and move around the dirt inside (sorry for the nasty description ). Any help would be greatly appreciated

Joy-Con: R button works but joystick doesn't respond at all

Mon, 01 Jun 2026 23:49:40 -0700

Recently bought TMR sticks and swapped them out, successful on my left joycon but on the right Joycon the joystick is unresponsive. The R button works fine when I press down, I've tested it, but no directional inputs register. I have not swapped the joysticks to see if it's a part issue or a Joycon issue, but I have checked that the ribbon cable is not damaged and seated correctly

Nintendo Switch: Switch Dock Charging But Not Displaying on TV

Mon, 01 Jun 2026 09:26:51 -0700

So, I've had a bad habit of leaving a game running on my TV and walking away from it. This hasn't caused any problems in the past until yesterday when I left the switch running animal crossing and stepped away to do some chores which took longer than expected. I came back a few hours later and found that when I went to turn on the switch again, the TV just showed a black screen.

The switch seems to be okay and it still charges when I attach it to the dock. I've tried just about every version of turning it on and off/unplugging and plugging back in, and the screen still seems to be black.

I don't have the resources to pay for nintendo to fix it and would like to do the repair myself.

Any idea how to fix this?

Nintendo Switch: Weird signal issue on right joycons

Sun, 31 May 2026 08:56:52 -0700

I have a weird issue with my switch 1 v2. Right joycons have very low range, I have tried multiple joycons. Left joycons work even at 7-8 meters but right joycons start acting up after 2 meters or so. It doesn't disconnect, but the inputs are delayed and sometimes a button press appears on screen after 2 seconds.

Wifi connection also has no issues.

What I have tried.

factory reset / update, switch, dock and controllers.
Removed all paired controllers, and added just these.
Tried different joycon sets (about 3 all are original).
Tried a temporary antenna cable for bluetooth (the white one near the gc reader).

Hope someone here can give me an insight.

Im leaning towards motherboard issue, (maybe the wireless chip?!!) but what stumps me why just the right joycon.

Nintendo Switch OLED Model: My left joy con has the broken latch so it doesn’t stay in properly

Thu, 28 May 2026 00:07:34 -0700

My left joy con keeps coming off without pressing the button. I already know it’s the latch that holds the joy con in is broken. I just want to ask where can i buy the metal latch from and will i need Nintendo’s proprietary tri wing screw and if so where can i get one of those?

Joy-Con: Analog stick on both joy-cons having issues after replacement

Sun, 24 May 2026 16:20:50 -0700

Hey all, I replaced both analog sticks on my joy-cons due to drift. Now, when I turn the controllers on, the right stick is jittery, and the left stick is unresponsive when pushed to the left. Both act totally fine if you operate the sticks in any direction (any other than left for the left stick) and have no issues with game play. But if changing grip, the issues come back after the controllers have been turned off and reconnected.

I've tried calibrating the sticks multiple times, I've reset the switch, I checked for updates to the controllers, and with the right joy-con, I've had it apart multiple times looking for the issue and have cleaned a few connectors and double checked that everything is installed fully and correctly.

The replacement sticks were purchased here, through iFixit, so I don't have any spares (other than the originals...).

Could it just be lemon analog sticks, or am I missing anything?

Nintendo Switch: Crashes when not plugged in, works fine when charging or on dock.

Mon, 18 May 2026 22:26:54 -0700

my brother switched out the batteries for both my switch and his switch light, his dosent have this issue but mine will crash when playing a game or show the low battery signal when it says its at 100%, but only when its not plugged in or on the dock. when not plugged in, it crashes in at least 30 seconds and has been doing this for about a year, (from what I remember) with on and off playing I havent noticed it because I mainly play it docked, but I got tomodachi life and need to use the touch screen for a lot of things. I can still play it plugged in but I would just like my switch to not be broken <3 no ammount of Reddit or internet searching has given me an answer or even another case of this problem so Im not sure what to do :( anything helps, thank you <3

Opened my joycon to swap shells (which I’ve done countless times) only this time, when I reconnected the battery the buttons do nothing. All of them are not responding, except the joystick.
