So recently i dropped my right joycon and it stopped working. When I opened it i found that right shoulder button had broke of the motherboard and metallic piece was shaking around inside. This is not the main problem (cause i know the testing points on motherboard that i could solder to in order to fix the button). After i removed broken button and assembled it back i discovered that my joycon now only works in handheld mode. Also the console is reporting that the battery is low. So i disassembled it back and checked the battery and the pins on the connector itself, everything was ok. I then tried to supply power externaly (5V to JC pins 1 and 4, as stated in this github repo: dekuNukem / Nintendo_Switch_Reverse_Engineering) and it connected fine wirelessly. So now i thinking that maybe there is some fuse that had blown up cause of that metallic piece. The problem is i could not find any information about fuses that may cause this and also i could not find any information on testing points (like VBAT). I will appreciate any help in finding some kind of schematic diagram or just info about fuses or testing points!

My joycon is now back to life!

Hey this sounds like the problem I'm currently having! I swapped the shell of my right joy con, which I've done before. But after assembling, it won't connect wirelessly (no lights whatsoever), but will only work in handheld with a battery very low signal.

How did you fix this fuse? I've checked and re-checked every connection in mine and see no issue whatsoever, I'm sure I caused some damage or fuse to trip unseeable to my eye.

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
