wanted to ask earlier.. but, what the heck is up with your left joystick...? for some reason, feels like there was a bite taken out of it

oh it fell off a couch and though it was in a case that still wasn't enough to prevent the joystick coming out. I tried putting it back in but need very meticulous and small hands to do that. Well this is still an ongoing saga and feels like more work than I want it to be so keep putting it off and just playing using the d-pad and for some games "minor key re-mapping". If I keep going it will be a very long story.

well I might as well continue anyways so on Sunday went to the local game store and inquired about the situation. The gentleman inside said that they don't do repairs but said to try phoning Nintendo of Canada because there is a location in a city nearby to us (I have personally been inside it before there is a giant Link statue) and that they may be able to just fix it in person depending on how complicated it is.

Before all this I did use the online website of Ninty to go abouts sending in repairs. For any and all repairs for Swite Lite systems the cost is a flat rate of 89.99US. Now if you convert that to CAD, well its quite a bit higher. I am supposing its mainly due to that they use UPS and the labour it takes and time. So I was trying to see other solutions before that. The lady on the phone said they cannot due repairs

or any troubleshooting in person, and that it's all done by mail. Then she asked if I wanted to set up a repair application with her, I said no I will think on that for now. So back to the man at the games store, he said that while the store and the other store owned by the same person down in southside don't do repairs, he "knows" someone who does hardware repairs by himself, but he only is available to contact on

Tuesdays, and that after phoning the Ninty hotline I can phone the store on Tuesday. So here comes Tuesday and after putting it off I phone the number from the business card he gave me and I asked if I could speak to REDACTED. The man on the other line said "speaking", and I explained the instructions I was given. The man said "yep, this checks out", and asked if I had a pen and paper ready. I opened a word document

on the computer and he gave me a phone number and a person by the name of REDACTED. And he said that's all I need. Then the phone conversation ended and I'm sitting here with this mysterious number and thinking over all the possibilities that may arise from this. Now you may be thinking that at this point it would be easier to just send the darn thing off to Nintendo. Money isn't even the issue, but its the principle

thats really a lot...too much of a hassle for a broken joystick, it sucks bad that it isnt easier. well, that was interesting reading anyways, and i hope your switch lite gets repaired soon...

temporary solution i have done before for broken joycons though. for some reason, pro controller is cheaper than a new pair, so maybe that would be an ok alternative? also cheaper than getting the lite repaired, i think
