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

    @SylverReZ, cuz of lag?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, No. Whenever you use the internet on Windows, Microsoft collects personal data and installs bloatware that isn't necessarily needed, such as Edge.

    @SylverReZ,
    I recall @impeeza mentioned some trick about not having bloatware when installing windows where you set up your country to "world" or smh like that

    Yes, you can debloat the operating system, but in some cases for me it just reinstalls them.

  • impeeza @ impeeza:
    @Xdqwerty yes, when you are installing Windows on the first steps you are asked for your current location, you MUST to select «international» so no bloatware is installed, because the bloatware is location based. if this night I have some time I will setup a VM and take screenshots.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think my favorite one was that dancing purple gorilla... I uninstalled that thing from sooo many machine people would be like "Why is my computer so slow?" lol because this thing is using like 30% of your system resources.....

    This one lady... her son kept installing Kazaa... OK no problem the issue is he would download DBZ movies and they where amazing usually like 2-8KB in size lol can't remember how many times I had to format and reinstall windows over his stupidity. I even explained to him about file sizes multiple times...

    @BigOnYa, RealPlayer is spyware too.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Psionic Roshambo, Yeah, BonziBuddy was both spyware and ad-ware. It collected children's personal information without consent as well as display fake Windows popups.
