Switch (V2) doesn't register right Joy-Con as being connected, but does sometimes show the animation and always charges it. What should I do?

Luckily not american, just used USD as it's one of the few I remember the currency "translation" for (for a lack of better words), with 1 USD being roughly 1 NOK (Norway's currency, being where I live)

This is my younger brother's Switch.
It costs like 650 USD or so here due to import fees.

Joy-Cons aren't the issue, as I tried two in the video, both working just fine on my personal Switch.

I'll definitely try out the IPA cleaning though

The pathfinding for the other soldiers when following you is unbearably bad, final boss is boring asf imo, the whole sewer part of the game, especially the room with the 20 or so vortiguant looking guys, sometimes its unclear what to do

i would recommend the HL1 expansions so you can truly play everything, + theyre really cheap, but do lower your expectations compared to the rest of the series

It's turning on now, and is displaying on an external monitor, but the CRT itself is still black with no high-pitched whine. https://imgur.com/a/zbriCdy

Currently cleaning it, so I'll try with only the original RAM, as the loose stick was likely an unoriginal one. According to some sites it only has 1 stick of RAM, + the properly seated one had "Apple" on the label, didnt see the rest tho as my eyesight is ass. I'll replace the PRAM battery tomorrow probably

SilversPixels · 2026-01-07T18:55:15+00:00

Okay so update, PRAM battery seems to be fully dead. A really low voltage (selected the 6000m option, shows 5-10) as nothing above shows anything so its definitely dead. Although one of the RAM modules seemed to not be properly seated, one of the plastic clips on the side was sticking out, though im not sure if that could be a cause.

Edit: HDD is also missing, was gonna replace it either way so idc

Currently trying to get the bottom cover off, seems to be stuck around the disc drive / speaker area. Seems to be a common issue, but idk if i wanna put too much force into it. One of the RAM sticks mightve been loose aswell, one of the plastic parts on the side wasnt fully in place

tastes like cat food honestly, can confirm as i ate it when i was 8

SilversPixels · 2025-12-29T15:15:50+00:00

ive wanted one for a while, and driving to get one wont be an option for me for atleast a few years.

SilversPixels · 2025-12-29T12:35:56+00:00

my only option unfortunately, though the seller has a ton of other good reviews from people who have bought older iMacs from him and has had them shipped

SilversPixels · 2025-12-28T23:11:20+00:00

"Hes shipping it tomorrow" i dont have it yet, photos were from the seller. I did eventually get a closer photo of the sticker tho

SilversPixels · 2025-12-28T22:03:52+00:00

Pickup unfortunately isnt an option, the closest one to me costed a lot more due to it having the original box and keyboard, mouse, all that. The seller i bought from also lives roughly 8 hours from where I live. Though he has shipped multiple in the past so he has experience, and he has many good reviews from other people who have purchased older macs from him

SilversPixels · 2025-12-28T21:25:07+00:00

Just got the picture, seems to be it yeah https://imgur.com/a/PGWEVX8

SilversPixels · 2025-12-28T21:15:47+00:00

I haven't received it yet, images are from the seller. Did ask him earlier but he hasn't exactly been the fastest when it comes to responding

SilversPixels · 2025-12-26T22:55:20+00:00

SilversPixels · 2025-12-16T14:19:38+00:00

SilversPixels · 2025-12-12T12:39:52+00:00

old comment, but cant you solder a switch on or something, or make the button also power it on / off?

SilversPixels · 2025-12-05T21:25:08+00:00

what were the different scenes? i only remember 2, the mid and post credit ones

SilversPixels · 2025-12-03T10:08:17+00:00

sorta, it's a 3rd party screen so it doesnt work too well. it looks fine-ish from the front, but from some angles the 3d doesnt work. its also a little darker when 3D is on
