If your joycons are not charging, it could be the fans fault as they seem to share a 1.8v and or 5v rail, I had both joycons refusing to charge, and the fan was not working, so by replacing the fan, it had them charging properly again.
oh? i was wondering why my joycons died and never turned on. i though the hot switch short circuited them. the same thing happened to mine. The fan died as well as my joycons. very useful mate. thanks for the info!
I changed the fan and it still don’t charge my Joycon. What should I do?

If I'm just replacing the fan, do I need to clean off/reapply any thermal paste?
It’s always a good idea to clean off and replace the thermal paste if the heat sink is removed.
