Hmm... I am pretty good with opening stuff up, but I generally have trouble closing them back together, at least in a working condition. But I guess if I am ready to give up on my JoyCon, it can be worth a try...
How easy is it to replace them?
Mine took about 15-20 minutes each, just because I was trying to be really careful. There are great kits with hall effect sensors you can get on Amazon, and great videos to watch (also read through comments to learn from people's mistakes.)
The biggest thing to watch for is the three point screws on the outside case, they strip easily. My kit came with replacement screws FYI.
I used a toothpick to help me lift the locks/stays for the ribbon cables, and to gently ensure they were seated.
I looked up the ifixit video, I think I am going to try to get the pack that has everything builtin. Kinda like what ifixit sells, but for these hall effect ones.
