NES Controller Does Not Stay Attached to the Console

Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch Lite, Nintendo Switch - OLED Model

The information in this article can help you when:

  • One or both NES Controllers don't stay attached to the Nintendo Switch console.
  • The NES Controller(s) can be easily detached from the console without having to press the release button.

Note: When NES controllers are attached to a Nintendo Switch system, the system will not fit in the dock with LAN port. The NES controllers can be charged by connecting the AC adapter directly into the USB connector on the Nintendo Switch system, by using a dock without LAN port, or by attaching them to a Nintendo Switch – OLED Model system and placing it in the dock with LAN port.

What to do

If the NES Controller(s) will not remain attached to the Nintendo Switch console, then only the affected NES Controller(s) will need to be serviced. Do not include the console.
