While using my 6 year old switch I noticed a weird behavior: In some games and even in the menus the controller seemed to get stuck going up. So tried to find the issue and fix the stick drift of the Joy Con by replacing the stick with a spare one. Watch me fix 'n fumble my way through this repair and follow along, if you got the same problem. I hope I can inspire you to try fixing some items around you as well. You can not only save a lot of money, but also have some fun and protect resources by preventing waste. *Links and Products for this video* _(Ads)_ _¹ If you buy through the affiliate links below, we may earn an affiliate commission, at no extra cost to you:_ • Repair set-up at Nintendo: 🇺🇸 https://repair.nintendo.com/cc/soConsumer.html?sys=SWTCH&type=JOY-CON • @iFixitYourself Guide: https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Left+Joy-Con+Joystick+Replacement/113182 • Spare joysticks 2-pack: 🇺🇸 https://amzn.to/3T2Lolj ¹ • Spare joysticks 6-pack: 🇺🇸 https://amzn.to/49waFda ¹ • Electronic tweezers: 🇺🇸 https://amzn.to/48nCiEa ¹ • Electric screwdriver: 🇺🇸 https://amzn.to/48gaZeQ ¹ • Stardew Valley game @ConcernedApe : https://www.stardewvalley.net/ *Chapters* 00:00 Intro 00:55 Research 01:36 Disassembly 03:24 Deep Dive 03:58 Reassembly 06:02 Test & Evaluation *Disclaimer* _Content on this channel is for entertainment and educational purposes only.
