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?

Ciao a tutti!

Si surriscalda, va in blocco e la batteria dura pochissimo.

Ho provato a sostituire la ventola con una nuova ma continua a non funzionare.

Che cosa potrebbe essere?

Nintendo Switch: Nintendo Switch charger cable broke. Cavetto alimentatore spezzato -

Tue, 19 Aug 2025 04:00:30 -0700

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: Switch is days charging but still shows low battery after battery swap

Tue, 30 Jun 2026 23:56:17 -0700

So, a while back I bought a cheap broken v1 Nintendo Switch hoping to fix it myself. The seller said that the issue was that it was put away for a long time and when they picked it up to play it didn't turned on, for me it looked like a tell tale sign of a dead battery

I finally bought a replacement battery and swapped it, at the start it just showed the Nintendo logo and went black but I left it to charge overnight and when I checked it, it showed the low battery icon which I thought it was a good sign. It is as of now 4 days straight charging (more than 100hs) and it is going back and forth between showing nothing unless I try the hold the power button for 20 secs hard reset and showing the low battery icon

When I opened it I saw it has part of a mod chip soldered to the board, I didn't knew about that and the seller didn't tell me either. I was worried it might have some board issue, but I don't fully know. I gets warm so I think it is charging, but still no sign of life

I mostly would like to know if there is some quirk about swapping batteries that I might be doing wrong, I heard that the charging time of a fully drained battery was long, but is it this long? Or if there might be a board issue and it's an unfixable Switch

Sorry for the long text, but I thought context might be needed and it's my first time messing with a Switch (also, English isn't my first language)

Nintendo Switch: Volume up button still not working after repairs

Tue, 30 Jun 2026 02:06:52 -0700

I've replaced the power button board two different times and every time, the power and volume down buttons would work but the volume up button still isn't working. I think it's some kind of software malfunction or something like that but I also tried factory resetting my switch and that didn't work. This person (Power button not working after replacing power button board) asked a similar question 3 years ago and never got an answer so I think this problem is a lost cause.

Nintendo Switch: Volume up Button not working

I'm trying to repair a Nintendo Switch where the volume up (+) button is not responding. Volume down (-) and Power are working fine.

I allready replaced the flex cable.

Same behaviour. Vol + not working, Vol - and Power are working.

Any idea, what could cause this problem?

Nintendo Switch: Stripped middle screw on Nintendo Switch shield plate - No extractors or power tools

Sun, 14 Jun 2026 01:27:53 -0700

I am following the Nintendo Switch Battery Replacement guide and have encountered a stripped screw on the shield plate (specifically the middle screw). I do not have a screw extractor set and I am not comfortable using a rotary/cutting tool on the device. I have already tried the rubber band method and using different sizes of screwdrivers without success. Does the community have any non-destructive "household" tips for removing a small, stubborn stripped JIS screw in this specific location?

Nintendo Switch: Is my battery swelling? Please help :(

Tue, 02 Jun 2026 04:09:55 -0700

The crack in the shell near the battery is slightly bigger than the crack near the audiojack. Do you guys think the battery might have started swelling? I have been using my switch since 2018 and I have never repaired it. There were periods of time when it would lay in its case for months due to no free time, but since January I have been playing it a lot (Persona 5 Royal is very fun). I can fit the corner of my nail and move around the dirt inside (sorry for the nasty description ). Any help would be greatly appreciated

Nintendo Switch: Switch Dock Charging But Not Displaying on TV

Mon, 01 Jun 2026 09:26:51 -0700

So, I've had a bad habit of leaving a game running on my TV and walking away from it. This hasn't caused any problems in the past until yesterday when I left the switch running animal crossing and stepped away to do some chores which took longer than expected. I came back a few hours later and found that when I went to turn on the switch again, the TV just showed a black screen.

The switch seems to be okay and it still charges when I attach it to the dock. I've tried just about every version of turning it on and off/unplugging and plugging back in, and the screen still seems to be black.

I don't have the resources to pay for nintendo to fix it and would like to do the repair myself.

Any idea how to fix this?

Nintendo Switch: Weird signal issue on right joycons

Sun, 31 May 2026 08:56:52 -0700

I have a weird issue with my switch 1 v2. Right joycons have very low range, I have tried multiple joycons. Left joycons work even at 7-8 meters but right joycons start acting up after 2 meters or so. It doesn't disconnect, but the inputs are delayed and sometimes a button press appears on screen after 2 seconds.

Wifi connection also has no issues.

What I have tried.

factory reset / update, switch, dock and controllers.
Removed all paired controllers, and added just these.
Tried different joycon sets (about 3 all are original).
Tried a temporary antenna cable for bluetooth (the white one near the gc reader).

Hope someone here can give me an insight.

Im leaning towards motherboard issue, (maybe the wireless chip?!!) but what stumps me why just the right joycon.

my brother switched out the batteries for both my switch and his switch light, his dosent have this issue but mine will crash when playing a game or show the low battery signal when it says its at 100%, but only when its not plugged in or on the dock. when not plugged in, it crashes in at least 30 seconds and has been doing this for about a year, (from what I remember) with on and off playing I havent noticed it because I mainly play it docked, but I got tomodachi life and need to use the touch screen for a lot of things. I can still play it plugged in but I would just like my switch to not be broken <3 no ammount of Reddit or internet searching has given me an answer or even another case of this problem so Im not sure what to do :( anything helps, thank you <3

Nintendo Switch: Getting the 2162-0002 error message when microSD card is inserted

Fri, 15 May 2026 01:25:46 -0700

If a microSD card is inserted I get the error message 2162-0002. With the microSD card slot empty everything works normally. I tried to switch the microSD card module, without success. The module works in a different switch and a working module give the same error when connected. This is a picture of the connector as I was not able to identify any faults myself (unless this spec in the middle on the left hand side has any meaning?).

Edit:

Was able to clean it with a toothbrush. Still getting the same error
