So, this happened. Was looking for a micro SD card and was shuffling around and the switch slide off my desk. Ironically, it was on the floor and I thought "oh better put it on the desk so I don't step on it" smh. Looks like it can be put back together, but the question is how? Just get a new one? Lesson learned: Always dock it.

The controller can be unscrewed. Look for a video on someone replacing them.

I believe there's video on how to put it back . Devices are so weird ice seen a switch fall into concrete and nothing happen to it l. But one carpet fall and this it's crazy

 

[Matt Ditter]

WHOA! That's friggin' gnarly!
I'd recommend checking with Nintendo about having them replace it, first. It's possible the steps necessary for you to take for repairing it yourself may void your warranty.

the ribbons dont look that badly damaged, what are they made off o.o

 

[Jordan Dio Powderley]

Oh jeez. Must have landed on the joy con

 

[Isaiah White]

It's fine, just reconnect the ribbon cables and snap it back in place

 

[Bryan Lee Kristofic]

Good to know. Yeah, been trying to put it in, but the damn things won't go back in. I've handled ribbon cables like these when I took apart a Macbook Air, but these are just a pain lol. I'll go look for a guide.

 

[Isaiah White]

Easiest way might be to remove the blue housing first, then reattach the ribbons. Once connected, snap it back together

good luck

Just buy a new controller... You dropped it. Sh1t happens

 

[Tank Dorsett]

send it to Nintendo my dude! You'll keep your warranty and they'll fix it for free usually

 

[Giudice Franco]

Ask Nintendo!

 

[Maria G Tirado]

Call customer service !

 

[Darryl Wesley]

Hello Nintendo customer service...

Yeah, Hi. I dropped my switch and the joycon broke. Can I have a new one?? Lol

 

[Ching]

Call Nintendo to fix it, you still have one year warranty

 

[Mark Ivankarl Sancho]

It looks okay you can put it back

 

[Stephen Beyer]

was it face down when you stepped on it?

 

[Arjay Jerome]

Do not replace a console because you broke a controller... Two ribbon cables. Should be a quick fix. Get a plastic spudger to finesse the clamps. Maybe some JB Weld to avoid future separations of the rail

 

[Kaan Burak]

Don't worry screw back again if you check some youtube videos.

 

[Adrian Onuţe]

Fuck, dropped mine of my nightstand once, but it was charging, and the cable kinda dragged it, now I know I got lucky.
