I have been working on several different projects with my switch for a while now, and I recently re-shelled my JoyCons. In the process, I accidentally lost the hinge that holds the ribbon cable for the lights and side buttons in the connector. I looked online and I didn't find anything about it, so I'm assuming I'm basically screwed and will have to buy a new JoyCon board. Is there any way to replace/fix this without getting a new board?

A quick Google search found this:
https://www.sintech-shop.de/en/conn...t-suitable-for-nintendo-switch-joycon/a-10523

It’s a German website but I’m sure there are others. If you don’t have soldering skills I’m sure you can transfer the hinge over with little effort

    truth be told, i agree with psi, i dislike both candidates, but i'd probably vote trump simply because the economy was better during his presidency
  • AngryCinnabon @ AngryCinnabon:
    Just be careful, if trump ends up winning and using project 2025 America might really change...for the worse.

    I'm not american and even that sends shivers down my spine.
  • AngryCinnabon @ AngryCinnabon:
    anything that offers trump an opportunity to become an actual dictator
