Nintendo Switch OLED Model: Right JoyCon buttons not working at all

Sat, 21 Mar 2026 06:01:54 -0700

I have the newer generation switch in grey if that’s important, and the right joycons buttons are not working at all. The joystick movement is still recognized by the console and the sync button on the joycon still works. Every other button has no effect at all. I have my controllers up to date, my system up to date. My left controller is completely fine. I also did have the issue a month ago where the joycon was pressing random buttons on its own, which i never fixed and so i left my switch and have come back to this problem. Please help me.

Nevermind, I left it for like 4 hours and it seems to be fine now. Not a fix but if nothing else works letting it be might work

Nintendo Switch OLED Model: Why is my right Joy-con not charging but works well when attached?

Thu, 19 Jan 2023 20:00:02 -0700

So all of a sudden, I detached both joycons to be able to use as one controller but my right one was not lighting up and I found out that it was supposedly “dead”. I attached it back to the console and was recognized but the battery was very low so I decided to charge it for a long time on the dock. After that time, the left one was charged while the right one was still the same. As for buttons, it works fine. The only thing that I noticed is that I cannot sync it when detached since it’s “dead” and will not charge when attached. I tried many solutions. I tried different forms of charging as well as disconnecting the AC adapter and it still won’t charge. I have not contacted Nintendo support just in case I found an answer here.

Nintendo Switch OLED Model: My Oled switch won’t charge HELP!

Mon, 11 Nov 2024 14:02:12 -0700

Recently, my Switch died (4-6 days ago). Initially, it wasn’t completely dead; I could press the power button, and it would show the icon until a day later from trying so much. I attempted to charge it with five different chargers and different outlets, but nothing worked. However, there were a few times when I saw the charging icon. I was searching for someone to repair it until I bought a five-dollar charger (USB-A to USB-C), plugged it into my Switch, and it worked. When I brought it home (it was at 9% charge), I tried to dock it with the Nintendo licensed charger and dock, but nothing appeared. Once I tried to plug it back in with my charger/portable charger, it went back to not charging. I honestly have no idea what to do, but I feel like I can fix this since it did charge. There’s no dirt in my charging port pins, nor is there any bending. I truly don’t know what’s wrong. I’ve only had this Switch for a year and a quarter. Please help 😭 I’m desperate, but sending it in for repairs is too expensive for me, as the total would be $180 (including shipping). If someone could possibly help me with this and tell me if the issue is the charging port, M92 chip, battery, or anything else, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Nintendo Switch OLED Model: Where do you find replacement screws for an OLED Switch?

Thu, 11 Jan 2024 12:05:57 -0700

I recently did a repair on my Switch OLED to replace the bottom frame after it broke (snapped right where the right rubber foot is) and I don't know when or how it happened I just noticed it the other day and decided to try a home repair. All went well but when I noticed the damage I also noticed that I was missing one of the two screws under the kickstand (presumedly knocked off when the damage happened) and one of the rubber feet. I found the feet on Amazon but I just finished the repair and I am still missing that screw. Does anyone know where I could buy a new one, (or any screws for the switch family for other people with similar issues).

Nintendo Switch OLED Model: I Changed the battery, why won't it Power on?

Sat, 20 May 2023 09:09:13 -0700

I took apart and replaced the battery of an OLED that showed a Red battery but would not charge. After swapping out the battery, the same thing occurs. The OLED will turn on, show that it is plugged in and charging but will not get enough juice to turn on. I used the cord successfully with other OLEDs and just to be sure I tried a few different cords, all to no avail. I don't really know how to proceed.

However as of typing this another thought occurred to me: Could it be the charging port that needs to be changed? My only hesitation on that is that the Switch still shows the little lightning bolt to show that it's charging, but I'm not sure if that matters. I just don't wish to waste time and money on another hunch.

If you have any thoughts or suggestions, please do share.

Nintendo Switch OLED Model: Why does Switch OLED video not work in handheld mode?

Sat, 26 Nov 2022 14:17:24 -0700

I have an OLED switch and it doesn't display video in handheld mode. It responds to touch input, and plays sound effects in handheld mode, but no display. When it's docked, it does display video, and all functions appear to work.

I tried to fix this by installing a new OLED panel and digitizer assembly, but even after this, there's still no display. Any idea what could be causing this?

Nintendo Switch OLED Model: Do replacements exist for the OLED switch sensor rails yet?

Fri, 29 Jul 2022 10:47:48 -0700

When experimenting with my OLED Switch I accidentally scuffed the paint off of the sensor rails and am interested in swapping them out with brand new ones. I’ve only been able to find replacement rails for the original though, which are very slightly different - curious if there’s a place I could buy OLED rails, / when I could expect them to show up on this site? Appreciate the help!

Nintendo Switch OLED Model: Strange OLED issue where pixels on the left edge "project" to the righ

Sun, 03 Aug 2025 14:35:41 -0700

There's this strange thing with my Switch OLED screen where pixels on the very right side of the screen seem to "project" or "mimick" the pixels on the very left side. This is only most visible in areas colored in ranges of gray and would otherwise be undetectable in any other color, and not every pixel is "projected" to the right, only brighter colors.

For example, in the image below, the letters of the Warframe logo is "projected" to the very right side of the screen when the letters get really close to the left edge of the screen. It seems to be only visible in shades of gray or black, so if the right side is displaying other colors, it's practically invisible.

I don't know if this has been a thing with my Switch OLED since I've got it 8 days ago and never noticed, but I did complain about it having a raised area on the right side, which I doubt has anything to do with it, but I digress.

It doesn't only happen in one spot of the right side, but the entire very edge of the right side. Doesn't seem to happen on the left.

I do keep my Switch OLED in a third party carrying case with an uncomfortably tight strap, so that could have been a cause.

Then again, this issue can't be noticed during normal use and I doubt anybody else would have noticed it for a long time if they weren't obsessively looking for faults like I was (I have severe OCD). It's just odd for any sort of damage to cause one side of the screen to start displaying pixels meant for the other side.

Could this be a normal OLED issue that I'm not aware of or is this somehow damage? If it is damage, will it get worse over time? It's very possible this has always been there since I first bought the console.

Pictures

You can see that the letter E (encircled in blue) of the Warframe logo somehow shows up similar to a burn-in on the right side of the screen. (encircled in red)

Again, it's not very noticeable in normal use, and I really don't think anyone would have noticed this if they weren't actively looking for it in the first place, but I'm worried this might somehow get worse.
