Last updated
Is your Nintendo Switch refusing to charge? Don’t fret; we’ve got you covered with some quick fixes.
When your Nintendo Switch won’t charge, it’s like your gaming world comes to a halt. But why does this happen, and more importantly, how can you fix it?
Quick Fixes for a Nintendo Switch That Won’t Charge
First, ensure that your charger isn’t the problem. Try using a different Nintendo Switch power adapter. If your Switch charges with another adapter, it might be time to replace yours.
Next, check your charging port for any dirt or debris. A clean toothbrush can gently remove anything that might be blocking the connection. Also, verify that the charging cable is firmly plugged into both the adapter and your Switch.
