    *_THANK YOU!!!_*
    I bought my OLED a week ago, and today all I did was _plug it in with the official charger_ and it went black and wouldn't power on.
    *Step one did it for me!*

    Thank you so much. I have trauma about my switch. Last month my wife went to Japan. Took our switch and the case which held all our games. Unfortunately when she got her bags in Japan the switch was missing. So she bought a new switch in Japan. Well today I went to use it but it was almost dead I went to plug charger into switch but I plugged it into my phone idk what I was thinking. Then when I went to plug cord into switch nothing was working. I panicked watched tons of videos and thankfully your 15 second count worked like a charm! Bless people like you man!

    Probably doesn't mean too much, BUT; you sir get a sub! Thought for sure my wife's refurbished oled switch was dead because heck, "refurbished" is a dirty word in my family. Not to mention when she bought it online, they sent her a non-Nintendo power supply that would not run her dock. Along with janky joycons that were gripless. Needless to say, I assumed the worst, it was "refurbished" for a reason, right? No wonder it would break this soon. But nope, your video made it come right on, thanks! That save's an easy 100 to 200 dollars. Bless you good sir.

    I haven't used my switch for couple of months, it was turned off not just stand by and it wouldn't turn on no matter what i tried. The screen was dead but pushing power button 15 seconds worked! I'm glad it worked and there's still 19% battery left. I don't know what the problem was. Everything seems fine now. THX!
