Symptoms

  • No fan spin
  • not charging joy-cons

Solution

  • Issues with fan circuit. You can use a voltage injection trick where you briefly inject voltage into the fan (in circuit) to bring the mosfet back to life. Here's A Guide. If voltage injection doesn't work, replace the mosfet above M92T36.
  • Issue can also be caused by a bad CPU fan.
