crwdns2915892:0crwdne2915892:0

This guide demonstrates how to replace the joystick covers of the Diswoe Switch-01 controller. Wear and tear may cause the controller to behave as if it is receiving an input without any. This usually is caused by dirt and debris, or defects from manufacturing. Follow this guide if the joystick has stopped working and cleaning the contacts does not work.

Before you begin the repair, make sure the controller is off and disconnected from the console.

    • Push on alternating sides of the battery connector to "walk" it out of its socket.

    • It may take a lot of alternating before the connector comes out. Be patient, and don't pull on the cables.

    • If that doesn't work, use a pair of tweezers to firmly grip the sides of the connector and pull straight away from the socket. Hold the tweezers closer to the connector to get a better grip.

    • Additionally, if the previous step didn’t work, use the arms of a pair of sharp tweezers to gently push the connector out of its socket by inserting them into the cutouts.

    • If you're having trouble, try rocking the connector side-to-side to loosen it.

    • To reconnect the cable, insert the connector into its socket and push on the edges until it's fully seated
