Nintendo Switch: Nintendo non si carica quando inserisco AC

Mon, 19 Jan 2026 13:19:07 -0700

Buongiorno, quando inserisco il cavo di carica la Nintendo non dà segni di vita. Provando a accenderla dal tasto esce la scritta nintendo e la immagine della batteria scarica. Ma non si carica anche essendoci il cavo inserito. Ho provato a sostituire Ac e anche la presa muro. Ho provato a fare un reset come dice nintendo. La presa USBc sulla console mi sembra pulita. Cosa può essere?

Buongiorno avrei una domanda, purtroppo il gatto se mangiato il cavo del caricabatterie della Nintendo switch, ora sfilando il cavo mi trovo 5 fili , 2 neri, 2 bianchi ed uno blu. Non volendo collegare i cavi a caso (i 2 neri e i 2 bianchi) . Qualcuno sa l'esatto collegamento dei cavi, c'è differenza fra i cavi bianchi e quelli neri? grazie per il vostro aiuto .

Good morning, I have a question. Unfortunately, the Nintendo Switch charger cable broke. Now, when I unplug it, I find five wires: two black, two white, and one blue. I don't want to connect the cables randomly (the two black ones and the two white ones). Does anyone know the exact connection of the cables? Is there a difference between the black and white ones? Thanks for your help.

Nintendo Switch: Il lettore micro sd di Nintendo Switch è collegato ad un filo

Wed, 01 Feb 2023 17:49:49 -0700

Di recente, il mio Nintendo Switch sta dando problemi: dopo 1-2 minuti di utilizzo dice che la micro SD è stata scollegata. Ho aperto la console e ho visto che il lettore micro SD è collegato ad uno strano filo che non ho visto in nessun video di riparazione che ho trovato su YouTube.

Posso eventualmente tagliarlo per sostituire il lettore micro SD con uno nuovo? Grazie in anticipo per l'aiuto!

Nintendo Switch: Can anyone help me identify where this pad lead to?

Thu, 16 Apr 2026 05:30:38 -0700

I tried (& obviously failed) to swap the display flex ZIF socket in the original first-gen Nintendo switch and tore a solder pad off. I’m pretty confident that I can fly a wire out from that remaining bit of solder pad, but I need to check whether I did the job properly. Can anyone tell me where this particular pad(10th from the left not counting the large one) lead to so I can check it with a multimeter or smth?

Thanks in advance!

Nintendo Switch: No output to TV on Nintendo dock. But ok on third party dock.

Thu, 16 Apr 2026 00:12:00 -0700

My Nintendo switch (non OLED) all of the sudden stopped showing on my TV. It charges on the dock and the Switch screen goes black when docked. The dock little light also goes green.

Tried numerous things:

Checked HDMI.

Plugged power source directly to the wall.

Followed the correct way to connect the dock.

Tried different TVs.

Finally decided to buy another dock and got a third party option from AliExpress. It works fine. However I was not happy with it because the USB-C connection is a lot tighter compared to the Nintendo dock. So I decided to buy the Nintendo dock that comes with the OLED version (has a LAN port).

To my surprise it has the same issue as my original Nintendo Dock... No output 🫠.

Has anyone had a similar issue?

Nintendo Switch: My iFixit battery for my Switch is draining quickly - why?

Wed, 15 Apr 2026 22:30:59 -0700

I have a Nintendo Switch, from about 2020. This is the model with the detachable joycons so I can put it in the cradle and see it on TV. I just replaced the battery last night with the new one I bought from iFixit. After completing that, I turned it on to be sure everything was working, then off. I was in my shop, so I left it off - I thought I had powered it down, but I guess not. 3 hours later I took it up to the house to plug it in and give it that first full charge. It showed 1% charge at that point!

I've charged it for over 6 hours and the next morning I left it in sleep mode, but pulled out the charge cord. Just sitting there, not used, in sleep mode, it's going through about 8-10% of the charge per hour! After about 4 hours, it's down to 62%!

Again, it is just sitting there, asleep, but not plugged in and it's draining that quickly.

Is this normal? I read that I needed to charge it up, then play and use it until the battery was low, then charge it again. I thought i had powered it down - guess not, so that's why it was in sleep mode after I put the new battery in, but today, after a full charge, and just sitting in sleep mode for ±4 hours, for it to be at only 60% does not seem right for a new battery.

Nintendo Switch: Loose LCD connector ribbon?

Tue, 14 Apr 2026 02:08:11 -0700

I had been using it normally, until these very fine vertical black lines appeared all over the screen. The colors of the pixels would then start to 'bleed' out, forming these bright horizontal bands. I've hopped between a few forums, and apparently a few others have had similar issues. Commenters said that it was a potentially loose LCD connector ribbon cable, so:

I'd like to know if this is the case for my device, and if so, how exactly should I fix it. Would disconnecting and reconnecting the ribbons suffice?
If it isn't just a mere loose cable, could it possibly be an issue with the LCD itself? If so, would it be better for me to take it to a repair shop?

Nintendo Switch: Lines on screen with "clear circle" in middle after LCD replacement

Tue, 14 Apr 2026 02:03:18 -0700

I am experiencing persistent display issues on my Nintendo Switch. There are lines running through the screen, and interestingly, there is a circular area in the middle that seems less affected by the lines.

I have already replaced both the LCD and the digitizer, but the problem persists. The symptoms are slightly different with the new screen: the lines appear whenever a new page or image loads, but if I leave the console on a static screen for a few minutes, the lines mostly fade away. As soon as the image changes, they return immediately.

I have checked and reseated the LCD ribbon cable multiple times. Is this likely a faulty replacement part, or could this be a motherboard/GPU issue (like a failing display IC or capacitor)? Any advice on what to check next would be greatly appreciated.

Nintendo Switch: Will the switch boot without an LCD

Tue, 14 Apr 2026 02:01:34 -0700

I bought a Switch v2 that has no LCD installed whatsoever, i checked for shorts or damage and found none. Then charged the console up to 4V and tried powering it up.

I expected some sound effect while it booted, but nothing ever happened. The speakers "hum" slightly for 10 seconds after i press the power button and then stop.

I do not have a docking station or any sort of usb c adapter to try plugging HDMI through.

So my question is if a switch can even be powered up fully with no LCD connected? AI chatbots claim it should power up normally.

Nintendo Switch: How can I remove stuck Y000 screws?

Mon, 06 Apr 2026 14:14:42 -0700

The screws on the back of my Switch (original - the one that can fit in the cradle to display on a TV) are super-tight. One came out, but the next one is so tightly in that when I tried using the iFixit toolkit's Y000 screwdriver, it just stripped the slots on that screw.

I know I can find replacement screws, but how can I get these screws out? (The other two are in there tight, but I haven't fully mangled them yet.)

I should add that I've removed stripped screws before, but never this small and the screws are recessed enough that makes many of the "normal" options for removing them hard to use. (Also, considering the rubber band method - that's a problem since the slots are so tiny that I don't see how the screwdriver blades could do anything with the slots through the thickness of rubber.)

I used a different screwdriver and that worked.

The iFixit Y000 bit I was trying had a bad angle on the end that didn't really fit well into the screws: Here's a simple (and lopsided!) illustratoin:

The screwdriver tip was at a sharp angle, so the blades really didn't fit into the slot enough to actually do anything. It just wasn't designed well. I found another screwdriver with the same size bit and with a better profile to match the screw slot.

Nintendo Switch: Why won't my Switch stay working when unplugged?

Tue, 31 Mar 2026 02:17:29 -0700

For some history: I've had this Switch since 2018. I've done my best to take good care of it as for most of its life it was played docked and left on the dock plugged in. About 4 months ago the Switch started behaving weirdly and dying randomly around 48% charge unlocked as I've been playing handheld more recently. One day I tried pushing the battery by turning it back on when the switch would die around 48%, until one time where the switch crashed similarly to how my Wii used to with a loud ringing and the screen going black. I opted to replace the battery and went through the slow process of replacing the battery myself. With a blow dryer and some patience I was able to do so with no trouble and no damage to the switch as far as I'm aware. Now, with the new battery, I can't even play a game on the switch without it being plugged in, and recently it started acting up more and will put itself to sleep even when plugged in. Is there anyone who could help me figure out what's going on?
