Maintenance of Your Gaming Station
3.2.1
Assessing
To keep your Gaming station in working order, Nintendo recommends assessing it on a
regular basis.
See the following Nintendo-recommended assessment routine:
1.
Press all of the buttons on the Pro Controller and the Joy-Con controllers.
•
If any buttons are sticky, hold the controller upside-down and use a clean,
dry toothbrush to scrub any sticky buttons.
•
If any of the buttons are loose or easier to press than the other buttons,
then the controller may need to be replaced.
2.
Inspect the controller cables for damage by lightly pinching them with your fingers
and running your fingers along the entire length of cable. Cable damage is the most
common cause of controller issues.
•
If you find any cuts or slices, or other hints of fraying along the cable, then
your controller needs to be replaced.
3.
Visually inspect screws and nuts to identify any that are stripped or missing.
•
It is better to replace missing or stripped fasteners as you find them than to
have them become an issue with securing your Gaming station or having
easy access to internal parts.
Call our support line at 877.716.8550 if you need any replacement parts.
3.2.2
Cleaning
To clean your Gaming station, refer to your facility’s policy for cleaning electronic
equipment. See the following tips for cleaning safety:
•
Disconnect the power cord from the power outlet before cleaning the unit. Use a
damp cloth to gently wipe down the Gaming station.
•
Do not spray liquid or aerosol cleaners directly onto the unit.
•
Do not use any detergent or bleach-based wipes on the TV or controllers as these
substances will damage the parts.
See the following tips for preventing damage while cleaning:
•
Do not drip any cleaning solutions into any of the compartments or parts of the
Gaming station.
•
Do not submerge any Game Station parts in any liquids.
•
Do not press hard on the TV screen while cleaning it.
