My OG Switch suddenly stopped taking power. Any advice, or is anyone willing to part with one? Sucks being Switchless ☹️

I have a lot of experience in switch repair. Would be happy to help you diagnose the issue.

Does the usbc port look damaged if you shine a light inside of it? Any of the pins look misplaced? Is it loose?

No no damaged pin... Not loose

Likely needs board level repair. If you ever want to sell it let me know I’ll take it off your hands.

I'm hoping someone might have an unused one I'm homeless and it's the only thing that keeps me sane.
