If you’re a Nintendo Switch owner, you may have experienced the frustration of your controller not working. Whether it’s the Joy-Cons acting up or the Pro Controller not responding, it can put a damper on your gaming experience. However, there are a few troubleshooting steps you can take to try and resolve the issue.
First, make sure your controller is charged or has fresh batteries. If that doesn’t solve the problem, try reconnecting the controller to the Switch by going into the system settings and selecting “Controllers and Sensors” and then “Disconnect Controllers” before pairing them again. If you’re still having issues, you can try resetting the controller by holding down the sync button for a few seconds.
Another common issue is interference from other devices, so make sure to remove any potential sources of interference such as wireless routers, smartphones, or laptops. Lastly, if none of these steps work, you may need to send your controller in for repairs or consider getting a replacement.
By following these troubleshooting steps, you can hopefully get your Nintendo Switch controller back up and running in no time, so you can get back to enjoying your favorite games without interruption.
