Last updated
Ever turned on your Nintendo Switch Lite only to be greeted by a dreaded blue screen? Don’t panic! Let’s dive into what causes this and how to fix it.
So, you’re facing the big, scary blue screen on your Nintendo Switch Lite. What’s next? Let’s figure it out together.
Quick Fix for the Blue Screen
First up, try a hard reset. Hold down the power button for about 12 seconds, then turn it back on. This simple step can sometimes work magic.
If a hard reset doesn’t do the trick, you might need to check for system updates. Sometimes, the blue screen appears because your device is out of date. Connect to Wi-Fi, navigate to the system settings, and click on ‘System Update’ to make sure your Switch Lite is up-to-date.
