    I stripped my back screws and I can’t take it out, what do I do?

    You can try this iFixit official technique: Cómo quitar un tornillo barrido Some steps will not work since it is an outer screw but it is probably worth trying. If that doesn’t work, I don’t know another solution but I hope you fix it.

    Battery cable connector is pulled out perpendicular to the board and does not pull out parallel to the board. This is not clear in the guide and could cause someone to break the cable.

    You are totally right. I thought it was too obvious but it’s better careful than sorry. Added it as a point.

Just a tip for people doing this repair. DO NOT remove the two ribbon cables between the two parts unless you absolutely have to. I pretty much destroyed my right joycon doing so. One of the cables was so hard to replace for me that I ended up breaking the clip that holds it in. My mistake, I could’ve been more careful but it’s probably best to just not even take them out in the first place. I’ve heard these cables are very finicky to position correctly anyways.

Ok, added the bullet to step 6 so that people know. Thanks for pointing it out!

I did not need to take off the ZR button to fix mine - so for future fixers, try that part without taking off ZR first. :) THANK YOU for creating this tutorial. This fix WAS SO EASY compared to the 3DS XL fixes I did in the past.

You have a point. But it’s probably better to remove it because the chances of breaking it are quite high. These are very sensitive cables, but you were lucky. Someone else though might not be.

Devnol -

I do understand that not taking it off can be difficult, but I also know that putting it back on after taking it off is a pain, because you have to adjust it in a way so you don't destroy the button like I did. If you do have to put it back on, I suggest you take a thin ridged object to put over the button while putting the plastic button piece back in.

I’d already replaced once set of Joy Cons when I realized this was possible. Got a new set for Christmas and the left joy stick was already drifting. My hands shake a bit, but the guide was very straightforward. As far as I can tell, the fix is good to go, and I’m going to try and find my old set and replace that joystick too.

Thanks for the guide! It was great!

Used this on both the Left and Right Joycon, the Left Joycon has an extra ribbon that goes over the analog stick. So yes if you dont have to take off the 2 ribbons that connect the 2 halves don’t. Great job!
