If your Switch won’t turn on, don’t panic—try these fixes. First, charge the console for at least 30 minutes using the official Nintendo adapter—ensure the adapter is plugged into a working outlet, and the charging light is on (orange for charging, green for charged). If the charging light isn’t on, try a different USB-C cable or adapter. Force a restart: hold the power button for 15 seconds, then release and press it again to turn on the console. This fixes temporary glitches. Check for physical damage: look for cracks in the screen, bent USB-C ports, or water damage. If the console was dropped or exposed to water, contact Nintendo Support. If the console still won’t turn on, perform a factory reset in Maintenance Mode: hold power + volume up + volume down, then select 'Initialize Console' (note: this deletes all data). If all else fails, the battery or motherboard may be faulty—contact Nintendo Support for repair.
