@bold - Seems like a cool little time wasting game, my favourite type! Bit of a shame it doesn't record the times that it takes you to complete each puzzle as that allows for replayability in Picross S since I went back to some of the ones I got stumped in and redone those.

@my issue, aye, I don't have another joycon and the only person I know who has a switch I won't be seeing for maybe 2 weeks to a month. When it comes to what caused it... my Switch is almost exclusively just a handheld, the dock hasn't been connected to my TV/Projector in at least 4 months think the last time was just to play Doom 2016 using a GC controller for a laugh but even then, the Joycons are rarely if ever disconnected from the sides of the system but... if you seen the thread about time spent on the Switch http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=8740244 mine has been held up by the two joycons for an awful long time, that's what made me think it could be the metal on the sides of the system just having slowly opened up a little bit, I'll take a look in a while when I get it back to my workbench.

Still though... if I get 1000 hours per joycon that's not a bad rate of play for what... 40euros to replace it? :D I have psn+ for the last year now and it's barely given me 20 hours of use in total I think for that 50, yearly joycon replacements might prove more cost effective per hour of gaming!

 - Thanks for the reply btw, I see that little tab that retracts on the joycon now that you're talking about.

You can compare your left and right Joy-Con and see if the retractable part looks different on the left Joy-Con. You can also make use of warranty to only pay a fraction of a replacement.

I can't say how good Nintendo's customer service in the UK/Ireland is, but for the German-speaking countries of Europe it's great. There's even a chat on their customer service website, so you can describe your problem and get quick answers without having to do a phone call. I've had to send in my left Joy-Con because its analog stick was malfunctioning on top of disconnects in TV mode; I got it back in seven days. Most of that time can be attributed to standard mail service, because the e-mails I got from Nintendo's repair center made it clear that they had my Joy-Con for only a day.

My left joycon gets homesick after a couple of feet from the system too, my fix to this was to never stop playing with it in my hands (and also bought a 20e hori wired pad for when it does go in the dock) but yeah.... have had the left joycon not really have proper range since launch almost but didn't impact my 1000 hours of handheld fun.

 

Like I said the reason I didn't send it away (with the range issue originally in april) is because my Switch literally gets 2-3 hours of play every day in between work , meals and travel. It has become a major part of my days and being without a part of it for a week is gonna hurt to do.
