How to Fix a Nintendo Switch That Won’t Turn On
Last updated
Wondering what to do when your Nintendo Switch won’t power up? It’s a common concern for gamers looking forward to diving into the world of Mario, Zelda, or any of the fantastic games available on this versatile console.
Let’s tackle the mystery of a Nintendo Switch that just doesn’t seem to want to wake up, ensuring you get back to gaming as soon as possible.
Quick Fixes for a Nintendo Switch That’s Not Powering On
The first thing to check is if your Nintendo Switch simply needs a charge. Plug it in with its original charger and wait for a few minutes. Sometimes, if the battery is completely drained, it might need a moment before showing signs of life.
If charging doesn’t do the trick, try a hard reset. Press and hold the power button for about 12 seconds, then release it. After a few seconds, press the power button normally to see if it turns on. This can often kickstart your Switch back to action.
