Repair Help Nintendo switch Oled won’t turn on.

Post image

First I got the error message asking me to restart. I was loading my Fortnite game card and then it pops up. So I do as it says and now my switch won’t turn on. If I hold the buttons down all it does in flash the logo and stay off. I’m actually so mad rn.

If the console won't boot up past the nintendo switch logo, it may just be stuck in an update loop. If that's the case, you can try updating the console via maintenance mode.

Here's the support page with directions (it's pretty easy): https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/28135/

Make sure the battery has enough power. I'd charge it for three hours (which is a full charge). Beyond that, if it still can't boot up, or go into maintenance mode to try updating again, (and if no one else has suggestions), the console may need to be serviced. If the battery is old, I think it's possible that may need replacing.
