Nintendo's latest and hybrid console, first released in 2017 with the Lite and OLED models following in 2019 and 2021 respectively. The Switch doubles as a home and handheld console.

Switch Lite left joy con always moving up

Hi!

I replaced the left Joy Con and the Daughterboard of the Left Joy Con. I cleaned all the ribbon cables and have reset the console. Also calibrated the controllers.

Still, the same problem persists, where the left Joy Con is always moving up. Somehow, for a short time it may stop, but when you move to a new interface, the problem is back again.

Anybody got a clue what this is?

Where did you buy the new Joy Con? It's quality might be questionable.

Thank you for the quick response. I bought the IFixIt kit, with the tools and the left joy con from iFixit.

When you say you replaced the joycon, do you mean you replaced the joystick with the gulikit joystick from the shop? If you've replace that and the daughterboard of the offending joycon and you're getting the same issue, it sounds like your switch lite may have some sort of issue either with the main board or some software glitch (though in my experience issues like this are almost always rooted in hardware). Where you've already reset it and calibrated everything, I'd definitely lean towards a hardware glitch with your switch. I'd reach out to Nintendo to see if they have any insight into the issue.

Yes, correct the Joy Con stick from the gulikit. When I opened the Switch the first time, I noticed a lot gunk under the ZL and L buttons. My suspicion now is, that somehow a drink from the kids got spilled over, without me noticing it actually happened.
