Dude tell us not to fix our switch ourselves lol. Yeah money doesn't grow on trees bud and I took a home course on electronic engineering. Sure I didn't get a degree but I know how to fix electronics now and how to solder. WTF do we even need college anymore? Just have jobs give tests.... we can look everything up on the internet and even set up our own hands on assignments with our own electronics since we have to many lying around these days. College especially the Ivy league ones are just clubs for rich and smart people who wish to turn into douche bags. I'm watching this video a long with many others to see if the solution I used which was unplugging the battery from the mainboard and then plugging it back in was in the video.

The video is a year old, but it’s still up because it still helps! My switch wouldn’t charge using the official Nintendo usbc connection but has 15% battery left. I followed along and did a reset, then an actual hard reset- while I did that I left the charger disconnected as mentioned as well- and it’s back to life! Thanks!

Tried to leave it alone and charge solo from dock using just the switch and charged adapter for like 4 hours nothing…no sign of life. Went to your video. 15-20 second holding down the power button and then press it once to power on omg…I seen the Nintendo logo pop up…tears of joy! I love you and thank you for this video.

5:08 - If your Switch is out of warranty and/or you're confident with electrical repairs and/or you're totally bonkers, unplug the cable, remove the backplate and heat shielding, disconnect the battery, then hold down the power button for 20 seconds before putting everything back together again and re-attempting to recharge. I had to repair someone's Switch that had been left in a drawer for months and this did the trick.

Then it shows The Nintendo logo and then after it goes away press the volume button and the power button at the same time for 12 secs again. (Make sure it has been plugged in the whole time) then flip the charger over. Then it should show the actual NINTENDO SWITCH logo. If this doesn’t work then try it again. Sometimes I have to do it in a different order if it doesn’t work. I hope this helps.

Mine just freaking stopped working and I had it in the dock...did they program something so it dies when you stop using it?

My sons' Nintendo switch lite would not switch on .We tried the reset procedure . We had a new Nintendo switch charger and charging port looked fine. tried everything over five days no sign of life no charging symbol on the screen when plugged in . decided to leave unplugged for two days . then plugged in left on charge after 10 mins it lit up and is now working just fine .

So I was playing my switch today (it was docked and I was playing on the TV) and it just cut off out of the blue and won't turn back on I tried hard resetting it and even factory resetting it and that didn't work I've done every possible thing to try and get it to work and still nothing and it sucks because I can't send it in to get fixed due to covid-19

As someone who hasn't used their switch in a while, I really hope mine turns back on, this has happened a couple of times before so it probably will. Thanks for the advice

I haven't played my switch in months so I put it on charge for a week because I remember this happing to me with a ds but it still doesn't turn on, when it's on charge it flashes the power icon and it's fully charged and when I try to turn it on it shows the the Nintendo logo then it's gone, can anyone help?

This is also happening to me right now. It had already happened 2 years ago, but back then it fixed itself (no idea how), I left it alone for a couple of weeks and when I came back, charged it and tried to turn it on, it worked. This time, I've left it charging for the last 3 days and still nothing. Just shows the Nintendo logo for 2 or 3 seconds and shuts down.

@@MechPrime mine seems to have the same problem, I've put it on charge and no charging symbol comes on🤔 it lights up for 2 sec then off, nothing wrong with charger as phone works on it, hard reset does nothing? Not good. Did you get anywhere with yours??
@MechPrime4 жыл бұрын
@@antony29 Nope, still no luck with it yet. I've been away for a couple of days and put it on the charger again today, I'm going to try to leave it there for a day or two to see if it does anything. I'd hate to have to send it for repairs like this, I have some save data on Animal Crossing that isn't backed up, I really hope I can bring my Switch back from the dead at least once to get this sorted out.

My brother gave me his switch, but it was hacked. So I told him to unhack it for me and he did. I reseted it and it died and won’t turn on. Hopefully one of these options help

Zane Blalock I have no idea. It was from his computer to the switch. Even when it was hacked it had to be rebooted to turn on. And I tried to reboot it now that it wasn’t hacked and it won’t work
