Nintendo Switch left joycon connector not working

[Tokeegee]

Recently my Switch's left joycon connector has stopped allowing connection to the console for handheld mode. It still charges, but I am not locked into using my switch as just a home console. Is there any way I can repair the connector? I've tried using a toothbrush on the connector, but it hasn't worked. My switch is also out of warranty, so I'm kind of out of luck there.

do you have another left joycon you can borrow to see if it works?

 

make sure your system is up to date.

 

the early left joycons had some design issues.  mostly with wireless, but not limited to that.  could check with nintendo to find out if yours is affected and they may repair it,even if out of warranty.

I've tried other joycons, and the console is almost always up to date. It's definitely a problem with the connector on the switch.
