Firing up the stream (someday I'll have a schedule). Got parts to try to fix the drifting sticks in my Nintendo Switch joycons. Warranty violation, cats, chiptunes.
@zaclittleberry Yeah, my stream computer rebooted about an hour in :(
So, one hand, the joycon joystick replacement was a success and not as hard as I feared.
There's even a short iFixit guide walking through it https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Left+Joy-Con+Joystick+Replacement/113182
But, after replacing the joystick, I then decided to move on to replacing the shell with ATOMIC PURPLE. In doing so, I broke my ZL button.
If you watch this clip closely, you can see when my soul leaves my body.
@zaclittleberry Yeah, I was going the nintendo route, but they've shut down repairs for now and I figured I could handle it. Just replacing the joystick was simple enough. The replacement thumb pad is just a slight bit larger, not easily noticed. I used these
@relsqui If you like, you can catch up with my last could of VODs - the stream computer rebooted an hour in, so the process got split up.
You can probably stop about halfway though the second video for just the joystick replacement success.
