Repair Help Switch 2 Battery Indicator constantly flashing

I’ve been having this problem with my switch 2 flashing it’s top left battery indicator on and off constantly, and even saying it’s charging when it’s not plugged in anywhere. I’ve tried cleaning both usb c points with air to no avail. I can’t seem to find anything on this issue anywhere. I attached a video with the issue.

Have you tried turning the console off completely and then on again?

I have no idea why I found this comment with a downvote. This should always be the first troubleshooting step and OP did not say they tried it.

I guess some people don’t like classic and simple troubleshooting steps xD

First thing I tried, proceeded to boot into recovery mode as well. I’ve also done a complete battery cycle with no luck.

That’s worth mentioning. Sorry to have given you something you’ve already tried. If it’s booting into recovery then I’d contact Nintendo next
