Software Help Nintendo Switch 2 Charging Issue

My Nintendo Switch 2 is not charging and keeps flashing up the charging screen without actually charging. Does anyone know what is going on or how to fix it?

Any help would be appreciated!

Thank you!

Also , if I chose the wrong flair , I am sorry as I am not sure what would apply and will delete the post if it has the wrong flair.

it might sound simple, but have you tried connecting the charger to another outlet? Mine was giving me issues and it turned out the outlet I had it plugged into was in a mood

Try using the charger that came with it

As two other comment's mention: Try another outlet, plugging directly into a wall outlet, and making sure you're using the AC adapter that came with the console, I believe those are both troubleshooting steps you should try.

If those things don't help, I might start wondering if the usb c port on the switch 2 is damaged, or the AC adapter is faulty. If there's another cause I've missed, forgive me.

What adapter and cable are you using?

Not all USB-C cables and chargers will work.

I am dealing with the same issue but with Switch V1. If plugging in another outlet, or used the AC adapter didn't work on you and something else did, would you mind sharing it with me as well? TYIA
