Hey everyone,

i've searched for this problem online but see nobody with the same issue.

I dropped my switch a few days ago (not super high, about hip height) it had much worse falls before.The left joycon instantly stopped working. Yesterday i was gaming on the TV (with a wired controller) and after about 30 minutes the switch goes to sleep mode because of overheating. the switch was ideed very hot to the touch. Now a day later i want to check something on the switch again and now the right joycon also died.. (i also think the fan doesn't work anymore)

They cant be turned on there are no leds. it looks like the switch has short circuited them? also when i put the switch in sleep mode and take it out of the dock the battery runs out very fast and that wasnt the case before the fall. it was 100% about 2 hours ago and now i took it out of a case and it was pretty hot and the battery went to 55% (while asleep the whole time)
When the left con broke i ordered a new set. but now i'm afraid that if ill insert them in the switch that the switch will also kill them :s
Rebooting doesn't solve the issue. Hopefully someone here knows whats happening and knows a sollution.

Thank you

Take it to a repair shop and have them take a look inside.
There is likely some internal damage like some pins bent, misaligned connectors or some component that flew off the board.

    No it's revenue and demand south park could argue has a bigger audience than family guy about the same

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Family guy is worth 300mill south parks worth 1Bill according to the interwebs
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @K3Nv2, probably cuz family guy is more disliked compared to south park
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It just does the same formula south park can press buttons without going overboard
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    And bc most of the family guy budget is spent on the voice actors rather than on the animation
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Southpark could spend 30k on a animated dick and people would laugh at it
