Bluetooth bad connection! Even when replaced

I had re-shelled my switch using a ExtremeRate shell but now my bluetooth connection doesn't work properly.

I can sometimes get one controller to pair ok for a couple of minutes but never two. I replaced the bluetooth module. Any clue?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Hi CardCraft!

Did you replaced the IC on the motherboard or the antenna’s?

If you’ve replaced the IC, then the next thing to do is to replace the antenna’s. It does sound like the antenna’s are the issue here, as it does connect sometimes!

Also check if the antenna’s are connected properly, and check for damage…

Also, keep in mind that 3rd party shells can give issues like not perfectly seamless/aligned as the original ones (still the ExtremeRate shells are good shells for replacement, always check if the parts will fit in the shell seamless).

Good luck with the repair!

Hi! reviving this old thread since I have a similar issue and I would be glad if yall would help

My bluetooth works once per forever, when it connects it can work for a minute, 30 mins or even an hour, but when I try to go into pairing it will die on me...

I opened up my switch and saw no visible trace damage...

Most of the time when I get the "Unable to connect" message on my switch when trying to connect to a bluetooth device it stays stuck like that even between boots until it finally resets...

The wifi works great btw

Any help please?

Hi!

I'm afraid this is related to the IC. I would advise to replace it, but it won't be easy as it is soldered on the motherboard. If you have (micro)soldering experience, I recommend to replace it, otherwise contact a local repair shop. Sorry for the bad news!
