Switch Won’t Charge? You’re Not Alone

Nothing kills game night faster than a dead Nintendo Switch that refuses to charge. You plug it in, and… nothing. No light. No battery icon. No life.

It happens more than you think — and you don’t need to chuck your console or fork out for a new one.

We fix this exact issue every week at OneUpFix, right here in Barrie.

Why Won’t Your Nintendo Switch Charge?

It’s usually one of three culprits:

• Worn out charging port — Bent pins, loose port, physical damage
• Bad cable — Frayed or cheap aftermarket cables killing connections
• Deeper motherboard issue — Rare, but we check for it

If you’ve wiggled the cord, tried different outlets, and still nothing? It’s time for a proper repair.
