Switch Not Charging? Get a USB-C Port Repair Today

Why Your USB-C Port Fails (And How To Spot It)

Let’s be real—your Switch didn’t just stop charging because it “felt like it.” If it refuses to power on, won’t dock, or only charges when you hold the cable just so, it’s almost always the USB-C port. And when that port goes, your gaming sessions go with it.

Here’s how you know it’s the culprit: your Switch won’t charge unless you jam the cord at an angle, the dock doesn’t recognize it, or the plug feels wobbly and loose. Maybe you even tried three different chargers thinking it was the cable’s fault. Nope. It’s the port.

Why does it break? Life happens—kids yank on cords, pets knock the console while charging, or you’ve just docked and undocked more times than Nintendo ever planned for. Those tiny pins don’t stand a chance forever.

But here’s the good news: your Switch isn’t dead. At OneUpFix, we replace the busted USB-C port with a clean, factory-fresh one and solder it down solid so you can dock, charge, and get back to grinding levels without the stress.

Our Nintendo Switch USB-C Repair Process

We don’t slap some glue in and call it a fix. At OneUpFix, we actually remove the damaged USB-C port and swap it with a brand-new replacement that’s built to last. Think of it like upgrading your worn-out Joy-Con sticks—you need the real deal if you want it to work properly.

Every repair goes through precision soldering (the kind of pro-level work you won’t find in a quick YouTube hack), permanent connections, and stress-tested ports to make sure it charges, docks, and syncs exactly like it did when it was new. No shortcuts, no sketchy “temporary” fixes.

But we don’t stop there. We check alignment, make sure the port seats cables snugly, and test it across multiple chargers and docks. Because let’s face it—your Switch deserves better than a flimsy patch job.

When we hand your console back, it feels like new. No more wiggling cords, no more docking frustration—just a solid connection every time.
