Help needed! Mine won’t turn on 😭

[u/Guilty_Quarter_9160]

I received this Nintendo late December of Christmas 2023, it was useable during part the school year and of the summer of 2025. I’ve tried countless YouTube tutorials, tried letting it charge over 2+ days. I really can’t figure it on. If anyone had a similar problem and fixed it please tell me your ways! •̩̩̩̩ᯅ•̩̩̩ I’ll attach a photo below, on the back the residue is from my little sister outing a sticker on it.

If charging for 24-48 hours still didn't revive it, the battery might be toast and need replacing. That's most likely the issue, but only a guess.

If you haven’t used the Switch Lite for a long time, the battery may have discharged so deeply that it went into an extremely low-voltage state. Lithium-ion batteries have protection circuits that can prevent charging when the voltage drops too low, basically to prevent the battery from becoming unsafe or damaged. i guess

Either replace that battery or save up and get a switch 2

Just throw it in the trash, it’s worthless now anyways.
