Easy to follow instructions, very detailed in showing how to break down and put together with the steps. Thank you and I will use this video again for future reference. 🤙🏻

Just did mine in the green/purple chameleon! Tutorial was great! I did find removing the ribbon for the right bumper made it easier for clearance reasons (and because forcing the bumper down already made me nervous enough) I ended up just using the tweezers to help me place the ribbon cable back. (Not going to mention the part where I pulled the ribbon cable off accidentally and started panicking for a bit lol)

Congratulations! Yes it can definitely be scary to pull the ribbon out. There is nothing wrong with removing it as long as you put it back after! We just tried to keep the steps simpler and more streamlined :)

Thank you SO much. I found your video from a comment on reddit and your guide was very easy to follow and it took me about 2-3 hours to finish (mainly had issues with the springs flying and screws AND buttons falling on my floor). I have experience working with many pc parts so this wasn't hard but for anyone who is still nervous/scared about going into this, just be gentle and follow each step carefully. However, the one annoying part is the SPRINGS!! Those flew everywhere and I ended up losing one but luckily the company I bought the new shells from had extra springs. One tip is you can actually just hold down the springs or if they're bent ( at 10:31), I used a tweezer and put it back in place straight again. Also, it HELPS a lot if you have a small magnetic tray to keep all the screws together/organized, one breath or crazy movement will have the screws/springs flying lmao. I got my tray from amazon for 5 dollars

This happened to me, kinda. When I pressed the home button, the right joycon would disconnect from handheld mode. If you didn't break anything by accident, taking it apart and adjusting the rail might fix it. Don't tighten the screw too much and make sure it's aligned. Mine wasn't and that was causing the issue.

You are a legend. Thank you so much for this amazing tutorial it honestly made everything so easy. I had the Standard Switch version with the neon red and blue joycons and finally got the white eXtremeRate ones from Amazon and this tutorial has made it so easy to do. It did take me just over 3 hours, but it was nice taking my time with this as I got the Switch as a gift from my girl. Also, if you do get a rounded out screw on the outside (one of mine just came stuck for some reason, the rest were perfectly fine) and you plan on not needing the stock housing, just ply away at the nearest entry point on the plastic towards the area the screw sits in, only took me 5 minutes to chisel my way in and worked like a charm.

@CopperYeen

If the battery is completely drained, it should be fine. No need to disconnect it. It sure is something they should've mentioned but nothing to get angry about. Also, as long as you know where everything goes, balancing that mess won't be too hard. It looks scary but you'll get used to it quickly. A few days ago I switched out the joystick in one of our joycons. The battery was completely drained and I only disconnected one ribbon cable (not counting the joystick) and another one fell out. It still works perfectly, no need to worry.
