How to Reset Your Nintendo Switch OLED

Wondering how to start fresh with your Nintendo Switch OLED? Maybe it’s acting a bit glitchy, or you’re thinking of passing it on to someone else. Either way, resetting it is a piece of cake, and we’re here to walk you through it.

So, how do you reset a Nintendo Switch OLED? Let’s dive in and make it as simple as playing your favorite game.

Quick and Easy Reset Steps

To reset your Nintendo Switch OLED, you’ll first need to turn off the device. Hold down the power button on the top, then select ‘Power Options’ and ‘Turn Off.’ Once it’s completely powered down, you’re ready to reset.

Next, you’ll initiate the reset process. Press and hold the volume up (+) and volume down (-) buttons, along with the power button, for a few seconds until the maintenance mode screen appears. From there, you can choose to initialize the console, effectively resetting it. Remember, this will erase all data, so make sure to back up any save data or screenshots you want to keep!
