How To Repair A Nintendo Switch That Gets Wet!

  • My Nintendo Switch recently fell in the toilet. After letting the device dry out over a few days I attempted to turn on the Nintendo Switch. Unfortunately, nothing worked; the Switch was showing a black screen. I immediately went online in search for a new Switch and discovered they are very hard to find in stock. Fortunately, I decided to give this a try. Not only did this work but it also saved me a bundle of money.
    Please leave a comment if this solution worked or did not work for you. In doing so we can help other people sort out their Nintendo Switch. Good luck.

    This seems to be a common issue. A Nintendo Switch falling into a toilet, bath, sink or maybe it was washed. The Switch no longer turns on. The Switch just shows a black screen. There's no sound. One option is to send the Switch to Nintendo for repair. Another option is purchasing a new or used Switch. However, simply replacing the battery may solve the problem.

    Omg, I am now hopeful! My Nintendo sign pops on but that is all, I am grateful for your video and praying that I did not completely ruin my sons switch! Ty much!

    Mine fell off the edge and into a big gulp cup with about 1/4 of an inch of lemonade. Only one end got wet. (The end with the SD card). I powered it off and removed the controls, the game card and the SD card. I wiped the outside down with a disinfectant wipe. I tried tapping the control that got wet to knock out any moisture that I could. I guess I will let it dry out for a few days and see if I have any luck. I hope I am not screwed. I paid, (like all of us) a lot of money for this. I bought the Zelda skin. 😩😩😭😭😫😫.
    I am HOPING I didn't kill my SWITCH.

    This video was a lifesaver, I spilled water on my Nintendo switch Lite and then wiped it off. Maybe 10 minutes later I was watching UA-cam and my entire console froze. I was pressing every button including the power button but nothing worked. Eventually the screen turned off but it was blowing slightly White. I didn't know what to do but after seeing this video I decided to try pressing and holding in the power button for like 30 seconds and it turned it back on and it's working fine now. I would have never thought to do that without seeing this video.

    I think mines screwed
    I dropped it in the toilet with my SD chip in it and when I tried charging it it didn’t even show the charging icon
    I’ve spent so much money on that thing all my accounts are on there none of them I remember. I hate everything

      Mine got fucking wet with nail polish and I also got nail polish remover and water on it. My parents spent so much money on that switch. It is 3 years old and I think I just fucking broke it.
