I have a Pokemon Scarlet joycon that stopped working after I opened it up for a repair. I double/triple checked everything and it’s all connected, I let it charge and nothing. I don’t really want to send it to Nintendo since they don’t guarantee a replacement of the same style. Should I take it in somewhere to be looked at, or should I just buy a replacement and do a shell swap?
You probably fried the fuse on the motherboard when you popped the battery with a metal tool.
That’s possible, but my initial repair didn’t involve touching the battery at all. I only messed with the other side where the anchor is for the tablet.
