@@jaredteeter does yours switch work if not hold the power button for 20 seconds while on charge and it will work i think it will it worked on mine and i subscribed
legit always look up fix videos/ problem solved videos for shit and nothing ever works.... finally i can leave a like on one of these vids and feel satisfied !!!! thanks bro
I have this same issue, just remember the wonderful truth that it's forever dead or you could let Nintendo kill your data and wipe it while fixing it. btw ANY idea why they do THAT after fixing one???
I got same result as video. Then I read your comment and it worked!!!!!! Was so bummed thought I had to buy a new switch. Held power for 15 seconds. Unplugged. Now it works. Thank you!
Right on man !! It work for me. My son head butted the corner of the joycon and the screen blacked out. Wouldn’t hold a charge but would show the lightning logo as if it was charging. After a whole night I tried your method and it’s now back on and charging.
Thank you SO much, man! I didn’t realize my Switch was unplugged for a few days, and have tried the last two days to charge it, with no screen response at all. After watching your video, I tried holding down the buttons like someone said to get it in Maintenance Mode. I was about to give up, then tried unhooking the Joy-Cons-boom, it powered on like magic!! Thanks again! I was so bummed/frustrated as I’ve been really looking forward to playing a new game that comes out this week.
it works for me on 2022, nov, 18! I hold for around 15-20 sec, and wait for like 3-5 mins, and it turns on automatically, thx for you help ! hope everyone works
My switch is doing the same shit.. except it shows its at like 90% which isnt possible. Been sitting unplugged in my room for like 4months. It should be dead. Just keeps blinking the charging icon at me.. left it plugged in overnight now and ive been trying to turn it on.. tried hard resets.. nothing works. Unacceptable for a system with maybe 60-70 hours on it.
Absolutely. I have spent a lot of money with Nintendo in my life, and I think this device will make me think twice before my next Nintendo purchase of any kind!
@@jaredteeter I ended up fixing it.. Took it apart and jumped the battery with 2 18650 batteries.. Then it took the charge. Basically lithium ion batteries have a protective system which allows it to not charge.. so you have to charge it just enough to have a tad bit of juice in it. Then the charging dock will take over. Everything seems just fine so far with nothing unusual with the battery =) Very unacceptable in this day and age. Im just glad it is fixable at least.
but when you get it to the home menu, it says "charge your switch. It will soon go to sleep." and then it goes to sleep again because it doesnt charge quickly enough..
well my switch was off for months only showing the charging icon on the corner i did this trick left it for few minutes charging and it work thanks man.
My problem is that it won’t charge right now it’s at 39% and if I connect the charger it won’t charge I tried all methods and nothing will work I don’t know if it’s the AC Adapter or the system itself plzzzzzzzzzz help?!?!?!
Thank you so much!! I had to repeat the steps a couple times, like you did, but after the third try it worked! I was so sure my switch was going to be completely busted but now it’s charging as normal
Try leaving it plugged in for a while 1st. Sometimes the battery is too drained to show the icon. Also, there is a possibility of water damage that you wouldn't be able to see from the outside.
Jared Teeter I think I said it wrong. When I plug it up the low battery icon shows up but when I plug it I up the icon shows up but not the lightning next to it.
Thanks man! Just bought a second hand switch today and it was plugged in for hours and nothing, just the battery icon and wouldn't turn on. Held the power button down for 15 seconds and it powered on :) Many thanks dude I was panicking!
Sometimes it takes a time or 2. Make sure it doesn't turn on the screen even if it's black. You have to make sure there is absolutely no light. If that doesn't work then it must be one of many other problems with this horrible device.
I posted a fix on nintendo life. com as my switch was the same. /forums/nintendo-switch/switch_not_turning_on_shows_full_battery#reply-09 You only need a few things and is quite simple. Im sure your switches are fixed but I want this fix to get out there sense I have yet to stumble upon someone fixing it like I did.
So when I put it in dock mode, it won’t charge but it will charge without it but I need it in the dock cause if not then there’s a chance it can get messed up just laying around
For all of you who got the same situation as him Charge on maintenance mode. To get into it : Power off and then press volume + and - and then power on while holding + and - ONLY. Then let it charge on maintenance mode. Dont press anything
@Amine Tv press & hold + and - when turning on switch. ( do not press or hold power button if switch is turning on ) to get into maintenance mode. Hope it helps :) tell me if it works
I didn't play on my Nintendo Switch for the last month or so and I ordered some stuff off of Wish for it but my sister had the NS. I asked her to give me it, since the stuff just came into the mail and she said "It's not charging. You ruined it. You can't take care of anything!! You always break stuff!!" and it made me SO angry that I went straight to my room with the NS and charger in my hand and I plugged it in to see what's going on with it. It just showed me the battery sign. I got on RUclips, searched "how to fix Nintendo Switch that is not charging". I had to watch like 5 videos until I came across this one. Tried it and left it half an hour to charge. After that half an hour, I went to it and I expected it to not turn on and I was just looking in that corner for the battery sign. When "NINTENDO SWITCH" appeared on the screen I just... SCREAMED! I was SO happy!! Thank you so, so, so much for this, man!! ❤️
My switch will not even show a charging indicator when plugged in. I don’t know why it is doing this. It has been charging for at least 4 hours now. Does anybody have any suggestions?
This is bullshit ive played my switch a handful of times and i finally go on a roadtrip and it doeant work. Ive tried holding it for 15 seconds and the nintendo sign comes on then goes back to the charging sign, but its not actually charging. Then it shuts off. Any other solutions? Really dont wanna have to spend the money to take it in.
Help I have Ben charging my switch for a few days and have been trying hard resetting and taking of the joycons but it still won't charge can you please hel
It happened to me for 2 days this doesn't work but you are most likely using a non Nintendo switch charger. I had to use a charger with much more volts or a Nintendo one for it to start working again

your switch has a problem
Worked for me too! Thanks dude!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! Oh my god I was seriously in panic mode! I didn't use the switch for one week and could not get it to turn on. Thank you!
Before my Switch would wouldn’t show the little lightning bolt even though it was on the charger, but now it doesn’t even turn on anymore
have you fixed the problem
Sadly no, my Switch is tucked away in my drawer because just the sight of it gets me upset
It shows the charging icon but it keeps disconnected
Mine has a full charge bar and blinks like yours. Have you experienced this? This fix didn’t work.
Thanks Dude It works👍🏽
Thanks Bro! I Really Didn't Wanna Pay A Thousand Dollars Just To Get It Repaired! You Helped Me Save Money! It's Finally Charging Now!

Is it good if it stays on that screen like when it’s in the charger and it’s completely dead?
My Switch charges fine, but it drains the battery fast. I havent used my Switch for three months. What can i do?

my Nintendo switch wont even charge it just shows Nintendo and the red battery in the top left corner I was ganna do a turf war
ZeroSquid the inkling how did u fix this? Got mine yesterday
I did that but it stayed off
Do you have to wait a certain amount of time before you can use it?
Sometimes you just have to try again. Maybe let it charge a few minutes. 10 or so should do the trick.

Thanks it works new subscriber 👍👍👍👍👍
This helped me...I just held down the power button & there you have it!
This does not work for me, it keeps flashing. Anything else i can do ?
If you have a switch that can run homebrew then......
1) plug your charger into wall but NOT INTO SWITCH.
2) take controllers off and take sd card out and your switch should be turned off!
3) now place your RCM jig in the switch
4) You need to keep hold of power and volume up WHILST PLUGGING IN YOUR CHARGER......... keep charger plugged in switch
5) Your switch screen should be BLANK and in RCM MODE whilst charging (you won't see any charging status just blank screen)
6) leave for 30 minutes charging then unplug charger and hold power until switch turns on.
