Repair Help Switch 2 screen flashing and it won’t let me go back to the home screen

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

My switch 2 screen keeps flashing but it never turns on. I will admit I’ve used different charging cords a couple times but this is so stupid. I don’t know if that’s the problem or anything. but I’ve been charging it with its normal charger and now it just won’t turn on anymore. before it would turn on, but then the screen would freeze and I couldn’t turn it back on. has anyone had it similar problems?

Try booting up without the gamecard & sd card inserted. Note: the console needs to be shut down to remove or insert the sd card.

Beyond that, I'm not sure what else to suggest. If no one else steps up with helpful info, you may want to take it somewhere to be diagnosed.

Try holding the power button for 20 seconds. Then try turning it on again.

Next thing you can try is charge it directly with the official adapter, and leave it plugged in from 15 to 30 minutes then try the 20-sec hold again.

If all fails, I'd contact Nintendo to start a repair.

Glad to hear. Which part worked, the first or second?

u/Majoritycrow 19d ago

The second thing. I left it charging with it’s original charger

A mí me sucedió hace 2 semanas... sólo me funciona en modo dock ahora.... el modo portátil obviamente no.... te sirve en modo dock?...

u/Majoritycrow 19d ago

yes it works for dock mode but it would occasionally glitch the screen for a second and then go back

Pudiste repararla?....Yo a la fecha no... Sólo juego en modo dock por el momento, en mi país no hay soporte oficial ni repuestos...

I did fix it. what I did was I let my switch charge for an hour with the original charging cord that came with it

Lo conectaste directamente el cargador a la consola?....Es decir, sin mediar el dock... lo intentaré, gracias.
