My long distance boyfriend had this issue for at least 2 days, and he was a bit scared on how to fix it. This helped get those broken pieces off right away! Thank you, now we know just in case this happens again, since we do enjoy playing Minecraft every day

Ohh push from the back of the console down not in, got it now

Do you push it into the switch or away from it?

Which way do you push it?

This happened to me, the only thing I'm struggling with is putting the top back on...

I’ve figured it out by myself, but in case if anyone’s having the same problem as me, I’m posting this by my self.

You can try pushing the red part of the image all the way, and it will probably detach.

Oreo, when Yoon said "the red thing", he was talking about the part of the joycon still stuck on the console that he'd *circled in red* in his picture. Find that same spot on your joycon rail and press it and it should slide out. When your joycon is intact, that's the part the release button moves against when you press it.
