Are the lights on it lit? Try pressing the little button on the side.

Yes both, is just that when attached the only joycon that sees it is the right one even though the left one is

I like the humor of this site. Can't find it elsewhere. It indeed turns on but still left joy-con issue :(

After that I recommend debugging.
The air vents on the switch are pretty large, I bet some crawly things would get in with ease.

Maybe the battery for the left one is discharged?

I had a problem similar to this back near launch it eventually started responding when I held down the power button.

This happened to me actually, freaked the heck out of me too, try plugging it in an outlet, does it show the battery icon charging? If not, try holding down the power button until it shows something on the screen, sorry I don't really know how I did it, but after that, I never let my battery go below 5% or empty.

Nothing :( , held down about 30 seconds but still black screen

I had this too. It wouldn't fire up properly in any mode. Forced shutdown wouldn't work. Got so worried i contacted Nintendo and they said it was strange and i arranged to send it back for repairs. Then, after letting the battery completely run down, i charged it and it started firing up properly, first in handheld, then in tabletop and finally in docked but not until i'd fully charged it. The problem hasn't surfaced since and i cross my fingers it never does!

In my opinion the N64 was not just the best console of the 5th gen but, to this day the best console ever created!

Just try leaving it plugged to the outlet, I think I left it there for a couple minutes as I took a nap, then tried it and it turned on again.

will leave it plugged then....

Thanks! The second time did the trick!!! Thank you.. But another problem arise :( My left joy-con doesn't get recognized as it being attached to the console

Have you tried to re sync the joy-con
