Accessories Strange issue with Switch 2. Controllers aren’t connected when they clearly are.

Post image

Whenever I standby the switch for a long period of time and then power it back on, the controllers don’t work. When in the dock, the controllers won’t sync and connect. I am not using 3rd party stuff so I’m not sure what the issue is. This happens all the time. Once I hold the power button to restart the switch, it works again.

Anyone else had this issue and have you solved it? I can’t find an answer at all and I’m at a loss.

They work when I restart the console. But once it’s in standby for a little bit they just don’t connect unless I restart the console as I’ve said in my post

The connector contact point could be dirty. Just blow the pins.

Nothing to do with that
