I've had that happen to the left one twice and the right one once, no analog drift, just the syncing issue you mentioned.

They fixed them all for free, all out of warrenty. They gave me a years warranty when they repaired them, they broke out of that and they still did it for free.

I think when it's a wide scale problem like the RRoD there's no option but to fix for free tbh.

You should send it them in, I'm sure you'll get it done for free.

I'll drop them a line next week, or whatever the kids say these days. I've had one of the left ones repaired for free but it was under warranty at the time.

Still shocking and no fix in sight

I’m looking forward to the kick off when lites start doing it

Yeah I could never really get on with Paradise. I loved the purity of their circuit design and the extra layer of needing to check the map and stuff took away from it for me.

Yeah that was one of the bits I liked, you really learned the city and could do short cuts the AI didn't etc. Takes a little while to click though. Plus you can crash into shit.

My fit ring adventure has finally been dispatched. Ordered on 21st April, I will not be using Curry’s again.

Why?

t's already low-level kicked off.  No idea how widespread an issue it is but it does still seem to still be a thing with the sealed units to an extent.

Cos you can’t just replace them you’ll have to send the whole switch off for repair ?

It seems crazy

Bad for the consumer though, not something I would say is something to look forward to.

The situation is without a doubt bad, but like MS with the RRoD it's so widespread that I don't think they have a legal right to charge for repairs so long as you have proof of purchase.

At least the lite model won't suffer from the syncing issue I guess, which is what all three of my faults have been.

I haven't had analog drift yet, it's guaranteed to happen though. I've had analog drift in PS3 and 4 pads, thankfully they're easy enough to fix.

When my Joy-Con gets it I would be tempted to try and fix it myself, but seeing as they fix them for free maybe not.

The weird thing about the rails becoming faulty on mine is the fact I never take them off the unit.

I play 99% in handheld, and on the odd occasion I play on the TV I use the Pro Controller.

Doesn't bode well for people who are constantly taking them on and off.

Anyone interested in an additional or more mobile 'dock' this is currently on offer and works flawlessly.
