How To Repair A Nintendo Switch That Gets Wet!

My Nintendo Switch recently fell in the toilet. After letting the device dry out over a few days I attempted to turn on the Nintendo Switch. Unfortunately, nothing worked; the Switch was showing a black screen. I immediately went online in search for a new Switch and discovered they are very hard to find in stock. Fortunately, I decided to give this a try. Not only did this work but it also saved me a bundle of money.
Please leave a comment if this solution worked or did not work for you. In doing so we can help other people sort out their Nintendo Switch. Good luck.

This seems to be a common issue. A Nintendo Switch falling into a toilet, bath, sink or maybe it was washed. The Switch no longer turns on. The Switch just shows a black screen. There's no sound. One option is to send the Switch to Nintendo for repair. Another option is purchasing a new or used Switch. However, simply replacing the battery may solve the problem.

Omg, I am now hopeful! My Nintendo sign pops on but that is all, I am grateful for your video and praying that I did not completely ruin my sons switch! Ty much!

[@fearhxper8769]

Ima have to try. This out! My switch fell into a bucket of a water while I was playing 🤦🏽‍♂️ hopefully this works out!

im praying this works bc i have 500$ of data in rocket league on here, when I try the charger thing it doesn't do anything but turn on the fans but ur my last hope!

[@Jerecruz28]

I think mines screwed I dropped it in the toilet with my SD chip in it and when I tried charging it it didn’t even show the charging icon I’ve spent so much money on that thing all my accounts are on there none of them I remember. I hate everything

[@oegesauto5619]

Same I replaced the battery too and so far no luck .

[@MizBryteEyez]

Mine fell off the edge and into a big gulp cup of lemonade. Only one end got wet. (The end with the SD card. I powered it off and removed the controls and the SD card. I wiped the outside down with a disinfectant wipe. I tried tapping the control that got wet. To knock out any moisture that I could. I guess I will let it dry out for a few days and see if I have any luck. I hope I am not screwed. I paid, (like all of us) a lot of money for this. I bought the Zelda skin. 😩😩😭😭😫😫

[@Abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz-e1f]

Mine got fucking wet with nail polish and I also got nail polish remover and water on it. My parents spent so much money on that switch. It is 3 years old and I think I just fucking broke it.

[@demon_slayer5685]

This video was a lifesaver, I spilled water on my Nintendo switch Lite and then wiped it off. Maybe 10 minutes later I was watching KZbin and my entire console froze. I was pressing every button including the power button but nothing worked. Eventually the screen turned off but it was blowing slightly White. I didn't know what to do but after seeing this video I decided to try pressing and holding in the power button for like 30 seconds and it turned it back on and it's working fine now. I would have never thought to do that without seeing this video.

[@cgclimited6862]

@helpinghand I bought a new battery for mine. It came on and was working. I put it to charge, and when I check back, it is not coming on again.

[@ninja1032]

I have a switch that fell into water, I did replace the battery but still won’t power The fans don’t even run are you able to help me out with us

[@Gasta1983]

I dropped mine in the toilet, shat on it and flushed accidentally. Will it work if I changed the battery?

[@NeonTheMasked]

Probably not just use a proven method or let the Nintendo switch company fix it

[@tyygtyyh1612]

I dropped my switch into the ocean 2 years ago and found it, I hope this works!

[@Fluff8uttCookies]

[@Mega_Memez]

[@MizBryteEyez]

Mine fell off the edge and into a big gulp cup with about 1/4 of an inch of lemonade. Only one end got wet. (The end with the SD card). I powered it off and removed the controls, the game card and the SD card. I wiped the outside down with a disinfectant wipe. I tried tapping the control that got wet to knock out any moisture that I could. I guess I will let it dry out for a few days and see if I have any luck. I hope I am not screwed. I paid, (like all of us) a lot of money for this. I bought the Zelda skin. 😩😩😭😭😫😫. I am HOPING I didn't kill my SWITCH.

I was out side on my porch and my battery started to die I put it down to run inside to grab my charger I started talking to my girlfriend and I heard it started raining I ran out and grabbed it and it was not soaked one joycon was wet so I powered down my switch and opened the switch and cleaned out the little bit of water that got in near the memory card slot the switch works just like it should just one joycon is acting funny disconnecting and crazy button ghost presses going to take the joycon apart when I get home from work and make sure there is no water or water damage
