Can’t Get Your Nintendo Switch to Charge? Let’s Fix That!

Ever plugged in your Nintendo Switch to charge and nothing happens? You’re not alone! Let’s dive into why this might be happening and get you back to gaming in no time.

So, you’ve connected your Nintendo Switch to its charger, but it just won’t charge. What’s going on?

Why Won’t My Switch Charge?

The reasons behind your Nintendo Switch not charging could range from simple issues like a faulty cable to more complex ones like a problem with the console’s battery.

First, check your charging cable and plug. Sometimes, the problem is as simple as a loose connection or a damaged cable. Ensure everything is properly connected and look for any visible signs of wear or tear on the cable. If everything looks good there, try charging the Switch with a different charger if possible, to rule out a faulty charger.

Could It Be the Battery?

If swapping out chargers doesn’t solve the problem, the issue might be with the Nintendo Switch’s battery itself. Over time, batteries can degrade, affecting their ability to hold a charge. However, it’s also possible that the console has gone into a deep discharge state, especially if it hasn’t been used for a long period.

In cases of deep discharge, sometimes letting the Switch sit on the charger for a few hours can revive it. If this doesn’t work, it might be time to contact Nintendo support or consider getting the battery checked out by a professional.
