Ойындар
Is your Nintendo Switch Not charging or powering on? No Problem! Today, I am going to show you how to easily fix your Nintendo Switch with a few simple easy to follow Tips! This also helps fix charging problems, Black screen, Dead battery. The tips/tricks covered in this video are compatible with all Nintendo Switch variants, including the Nintendo Switch Lite and Nintendo Switch OLED models.
Tip #1: Cleaning The Charging Port.
Properly/ Safely cleaning the Type-C Charging port on your Nintendo switch will help it make a better contact with the charger. Removing all the dust/debris will help!

* Cotton Swab
- amzn.to/3yEAjuX
- amzn.to/3UgOamg (Amazon UK)
Tip #2: There are a bunch of different button combinations you can do that will spring your Nintendo Switch back to life. These usually fix the black screen, no charging and no power/turning on issues.
Tip #3: Different Charging source.
The official Nintendo Switch Charger is considered by many to be the best charging source in regards to charging your Switch. With that said, there are other power sources you can use that have worked for others.
* 10 Port Multi - USB Charging Hub
- amzn.to/3q6FAr7
* 12 Port Multi-USB Charging Hub
- amzn.to/3e76uK0
Tip #4: Joy-Con removal
Sometimes the Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons leach off the tablet itself. Removing these can help fix charging issues. If you have a Nintendo Switch Lite, Removing the Micro SD card and Game cart helps.
What if nothing worked?
It could be any number of reasons why none of these tricks did not work. Have a professional diagnose the issue or buy a new Switch!

This man is a light saver I thought my switch was broken and I almost had to go to the store and get a new one and replace it but when I saw this video I I did not know if this was gonna work and I tried to and it did work by holding the power button and the volume button all at the same time and this is really helpful. Thank you.
The 15 second hold and tap is a great one to know as that is what got my Switch to turn back on. Thank you so much!

It honestly depends why it’s not charging. From what I gathered based off the comments, the button combos seem to work for everyone, especially the first one. It’s worth it to try all of them until one finally works.

I was so worried cause it happened out of nowhere, but the 15 seconds and tap method worked. Thanks man
The 15 second hold then 1 second tap was a live saver! Thank you!
The holding down the power button then tapping it worked, I was worried I might have needed to send mine in to get repairs. I can't thank you enough.
Don't know how, I followed every guide I could find and nothing worked until I plugged it into the TV and magically it decided to work! This guide helped a lot
THIS IS AMAZING! I just signed for an esports team and was freaking out because my switch broke. You’re such a life saver!!!

Thanks for this video! My switch has been unresponsive for days and I was starting to worry I'd have to replace the battery, but it turns out all I needed to do was hold + tap the power button. I don't understand why it stopped working in the first place when I normally keep it well charged, but it's a big relief that it's working again.
THANKS SO MUCH!! I did the plug thing and did a different plug because it wasn’t charging and it worked!!!
Dude thank you so much the holding it down and then tap worked for me you’re a life saver
Wow I was wondering why my switch wasn't turning on this absolutely helped and was easy to follow thank you!
thank you so much, this helped my brother get his switch back on. i literally praise you.
Thank you for the troubleshooting information! My switch quit turning on, did the 20+1 troubleshooting step and it's now all good. Appreciate it!
Thank you, I tried everything but somehow I never thought cleaning the charging port would help....it fixed it!
That 15 seconds + tap is amazing😊 thank you now l can get back to gaming
I am so grateful my muteness hasn’t been working so I tried searching it up and found this I am so glad I wasn’t broken ❤
Great thorough and straightforward video! Excellent work and quality! The 15 second power button holds then 1-2 second worked for me. Thank you!
Honestly just cleaning the port helped mine!! You're a lifesaver, I thought my switch was a goner.
Removing the joycon worked for me after days of black screen, thank you!
The buttons worked straight away for me I was preparing to tell my parents and having a panic attack at the same time!!! TYSM UR A LIFESAVER!!!😁😁😁😁❤️❤️😂😂
Appreciate this! Daughter had trouble charging the switch and it wasnt powering on after a grandparent tripped over the cable lol. Held button for 20 seconds and pressed again and to my surprise it worked and had 99% battery. Win win! Gave it a good clean as well and order has been restored thank you
