Sometimes when I boot up my Switch, the fan kicks in and at some point it begins making grinding noises. It doesn't happen very often. For an example: I was playing Pokemon Violet, I noticed my Switch's fan going pretty fast and being noisy, so I took it out from the dock and the fan began to be more noisy, ending up in making the buzzing/grinding noise
Also my Switch seems to overheat when in docked mode, or just makes the fan go very fast.
That calls for a repair, no?

correct. your fan bearings are probably wearing out.

Well, I could also request a battery change
wouldn't hurt while they're in there

And as with the joycons... I'll buy a new pair
solar tendon
why waste money on a new pair of joycons?
lost nest
Old ones are puffed up
solar tendon
time to replace the batteries inside of them
lost nest
And weared off
solar tendon
it'll be cheaper than replacing them outright
worn. there is no such word as "weared"
solar tendon
you can replace just that part if you want
lost nest
I don't want to spend more than I need honestly
solar tendon
it'll be cheaper to replace the batteries and the sticks than to buy an entirely new set of joycons
amazon has a two-pack of joycon batteries for $16

I know that I can replace them by myself but honestly if someone is far more advanced than me I'd rather choose the latter
solar tendon
and you can get new joysticks, including the thumb grip and the electronic mechanism for $18

I can just put on those silicone covers
solar tendon
whatever you feel is best
lost nest
So for now I should not touch my Switch>
solar tendon
correct
lost nest
I mean it doesn't go wrrrryyyyy all the time
solar tendon
i'd get it fixed before risking damaging it permanently
lost nest
Dangit, I'll need to work for a month
solar tendon
it may pay to shop around and get quotes from local repair shops
lost nest
My town has no shops that repair consoles
solar tendon
i see.
lost nest
Also why not visit a city as well?
solar tendon
sure, if you feel like doing so 🙂
lost nest
I wonder how long will it take
solar tendon
call and ask before you get there
they'll be able to tell you what their estimated repair time will be

Right, thanks for helping me out
Kind of a shame since I picked up Pokemon Violet recently
solar tendon
it's always a pleasure
feel free to return to this thread if you have further questions
don't forget to ping me if you do so

I think the battery needs to be changed as well
Since the left side of my Switch doesn't stick to the other plastic
There's an incline
Well then
lost nest
@solar tendon The incline is somewhere around here. It's not that big though
Honestly I just turned my console off, and packed it in its box
solar tendon
@lost nest incline? Can you post a photo?
solar tendon
I don’t see any “incline” in that picture.
solar tendon
Replace the battery if you like, but that is seriously not a large gap @lost nest

I know
Still it's kinda giving away red flags
ANyway thanks for help
solar tendon
ANyway thanks for help
You’re welcome
lost nest
Kinda sucks it started to fail on me
Since I really wanted to play more Pokemon Violet
But I guess I shouldn't use my Switch?
solar tendon

Correct (we already discussed this)
dense radish
my switch also has a gap near that area, but it's bigger this one
