I acquired a Nintendo Switch (LCD - HAC-CPU-20 MB) from a family member so I don’t know much of the history on it. She said she has already had it at a repair shop to fix the USB charging port due to it not charging so that has been fixed. It looks like it was a botched job as the MB appears slightly burnt where he replaced the solder on the connections.
My issued:
The console is stuck at the white screen with the animation showing you how to connect the joy-cons. The right joy-con connects just fine and makes the audible “click” sound but the left joy-con isn’t recognized. I have tested the joy-con on a different switch and it works just fine so I know it’s not the joy-con. I ordered and replaced the left rail but that didn’t fix the issue. I’m not finding much else online that talks about my issue and the other videos/posts say replacing the rail worked for them. I’m kind of puzzled at this point and thinking something on the motherboard may be the issue. Thoughts? I took a few photos and uploaded them to Imgur for your review but this site wont let me post a link or upload the photos. Let me know if there is another way I can send the photos. Thanks in advance!
