Nintendo Switch Won’t Turn On? Try These Troubleshooting Steps

Is your Nintendo Switch refusing to turn on? Don’t worry, it’s not the end of the world. In this tutorial, we’ll walk you through some troubleshooting steps to help you identify and potentially fix the issue.

Before we dive into the more complex solutions, let’s cover the basics. Ensure you’re using a different charger and try charging your Switch for at least 30 minutes. If you’re using a dock, try removing it and charging your Switch directly.

One common cause of a Switch not turning on is a faulty battery. If your battery is old or has been damaged, it may not be holding a charge. Try replacing your battery with a new one.

Another possible cause is a controller malfunction. If your Joy-Con or Pro Controller is not communicating properly with your Switch, it may not turn on. Try resetting your controllers or replacing them if necessary.

A faulty charge port can also prevent your Switch from turning on. Inspect your charge port for any signs of damage or debris. Try cleaning it out with a soft brush or replacing it if necessary.

If none of the above steps work, it’s possible that your Switch’s motherboard is faulty. This is a more complex issue that may require professional repair. If you’re not comfortable with DIY repairs, consider scheduling a repair with Salvation Repair.
