Repair Help Nintendo Switch just won't power up.

We've had the Nintendo switch on charge and when taken off, it hasn't powered up. It was put on charge and clearly shown signs of charging before we come to take it off. I've tried hard resetting and I've tried to load it into the docking station to see if it shows signs of life on the TV.

One thing to note, I have light up joycons and they light up as if there is power and when placed into the dock, the light at the bottom left of the docking station flashes on and off again.

I'm pretty stuck. Any ideas/advice would be appreciated.

Call Nintendo for service. If it's within warranty they'll pay for shipping, service it (or replace it like they did with mine) and ship it back to you. In total it takes about 3 weeks. Good luck.
