This tutorial shows how to "initialize" the switch if it's having an issue. The process deletes certain data while preserving other things. It's basically a limited factory reset.

    I’m having a problem w my v1 switch. Works perfectly fine except when removing from dock or charger. It goes into an initializing mode for a few minutes. Then works fine. Any solutions much appreciated.

    How do I start up the switch with a pro controller? The switch requires me to have the joy cons connected but I dont have them, how do I skip that?

    My switch simply stays in the "initializing. Do not touch the POWER button" for hours :/ I dunno what to do anymore. I'm trying to reset because my switch suddently stopped to recognize my SD card, I bought a new one and it recognizes but it doesn't download any of my games on it, then I decided to do the reset, but right now, feeling hopeless
