@@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???
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.
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!
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
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.
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
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.
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 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?!?!?!
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.
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
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.
TY SO MUCH i noticed that when i woke up this morning i looket at my nintendo switch battery and it was at 50% something instead of 100% and then it died then i put the charger on and it does not charge and then im like is the fuse blown. but then i try another one and it does not work still. thats when i think that my nintendo switch is broken. but then this is very helpful, thank you so much for this method
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
My switch is on 26% and the battery icon is green and has a power symbol to show it’s charging Came back an hour later to play and it’s still on 26% It’s a new device I bought go it at Christmas Any ideas
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.
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?
Haven’t used my switch since November and your tricked worked thanks man

@@MrConsoleSpot Awesome man! Glad to hear it. Keep on gaming :)
@@CodyrosaIs this easy to do? getting desperate now as ive tried everything else suggested.
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..
I really thought my switch was broken. Thank you so much
well it worked for me but after 15 seconds I raged and spammed the on button and it just turned on :)
Wow idk why but that actually worked lol. Spammed it and it turned on. Your a bonafide genius!
I'll try to remember that.
I tried it before it worked but now it doesn’t
Vize Nottfue. Same for me. However I would suggest making sure it’s plugged in while doing it. That was the difference maker for me!!
Did you try to spam holding it or just continuous presses?
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.
Worked for me too! Thanks dude!
Thanks so much dude it worked! I liked and subscribed!
It works! I haven’t played on my switch in a while and this happened thanks!
Mines stuck at very low battery and I plug the charger and it wont show the icon or charge
David McGlynn same
David McGlynn bro mines on the charger all day and still on 0℅ like wtf I want to play fortnite or paladin's
Thank you so much it worked on my switch. I didn’t know what was going on. Mine didn’t want to turn on at all.
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 can’t get even the battery charging icon to show up. The screen stays black. Any ideas?
Same
Any update? I have the same problem
Every time this happens I have to come back to this video lol. Thank you so much.

Hey, just wanted to jump in here and say, thanks for the video. Resolved my issue. :)
Thank you! After trying everything on RUclips this is what finally worked! My kid can stop freaking out now!
How can you fix this, it never work for me
Omg!! THANKS TO YOU MAN! YOU SAVED MY NINTENDO SWITCH! THANKS A LOT AND GODBLESSS
How Long it took you to charge until turn back on?
I was so close to yelling at my son for not taking care of his Switch and somehow breaking it 😅 but this worked!
I'm glad you found out it really was NINTENDO's fault!
Such great parenting.😐
@@rennnn4444there's nothing wrong with that parenting lmao
Mine has a full charge bar and blinks like yours. Have you experienced this? This fix didn’t work.
So I just wait 20 mins and come back? It stopped showing that icon
My icon isn’t even showing up even if I plug it up.
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.
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.
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
" THE SAVING GRACE OF MY NINTENDO SWITCH FA LA LA LA LS LA LA "
I am having totally the same issue. Tried many times but cnt work. 😰
Did it work..?? i have the same problem it keeps blinking on and off...and that charging icon on top shows fully charged but it still won't turn on
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
TYSM THE FIRST ONE WORKED TYTYTY
Thx bro!! I was worried i would lose my switch forever and needed to buy a new one
