  • 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!
    --------- Items Used In Tip #1 ---------
    * Isopropyl Alc

    * 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!

    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.
