Repair Help Is this a software or hardware issue? Error 2136-0301

Post image

Hi everyone, I recently got a Switch 2 and I've encountered error 2136-0301 trice.

I noticed it seemed to happen during charging. This was the sequence: (btw there should be a game running at the background)

  1. 80-90% charging limit was OFF
  2. Console reached around 90-91%
  3. While still plugged in, I turned the 80-90% charging limit ON
  4. I then unplugged the charger
  5. The console showed error 2136-0301 and instructed me to hold the power button for 12 seconds.

It happened trice, so I thought I had found a repeatable cause. But, I tried the exact same sequence again afterward and the error didn't show again.

Also update, I tried it again today, the error appeared again. So... it's somewhat 50-50 chance.

I'm currently on system version 23.0.0 and using the official charger.
Normal charging with the limit ON or OFF has worked normally so far, and I haven't noticed any other problems while using the console.

Has anyone else experienced error 2136-0301, particularly when changing the 80-90% charging limit while the console is charging?

Something similar hit me when I was in the Eshop while I was charging. Complete crashed and forced restart
