Switch not charging. Green blinking light on dock. Not outputting to tv. NOT A FIX JUST PROOF

Video for Nintendo support

[@dizwoozy5471]

I've had a similiar problem, my switch didn't flash, but just blinked once. If u hold the power button down for about 30 seconds the switch kind of resets and after powering on it worked in my case. I hope this helps someone having this issue.

[@orengd9532]

Same thing is happening to me too. I tried that and it has't worked. Also it ran out of batter and I have ben charging it without the dock but it just isn't gaining battery. it says its charging though

Mine does exactly the same, I bought the NS Oled two months ago and it worked properly one month after that it, the dock started blinking. I have to unplug the dock many times and then it would work on tv. But my switch works good is just the dock

[@YunusRashid-t1b]

After that happen to my switch I took the usb c cable out and plugged it In to my switch and it won’t charge and btw it works on other Nintendo switchs but not mine

[@karsonfloydsartandreaction366]

Thank you so much for the video because the same thing is happening with my OLED switch.

If you hold the start button plus the volume up and down for 30 seconds to a 1 minute it clears it.

I have now the same exact problem. My switch was at 0% for month and after i tried to charge it in my dock, there came the same issue. Is there any fix now for this problem?

I just got my first switch for christmas and already have an issue. Sometimes When i put my switch into the dock it doesnt turn green or do anything but the screen stays on and doesnt charge the only way to fix it is to unplug the cord and plug it back in then the green light shows and it charged

Happened to me, turns out the ribbon cable in the dock was defective

[@NovaCatO_o]

My dock worked for like a year then suddenly it stopped working sometimes it works but sometimes It doesn't

[@CryogenicAxe]

@@NovaCatO_o That’s interesting, does it still charge in the dock or does it just work on and off

[@NovaCatO_o]

@@CryogenicAxe I think it cuz I switched my dock to a projector then back to my tv and then it stopped working now I just have two docks one for tv and one for projector the other dock was my old dock from my old switch since someone stole my old switch

[@CryogenicAxe]

@@NovaCatO_o Honestly it may just be the motherboard. I would take the risk and swap it out with a replacement which you can find plenty of on the Internet

[@LowNSl0w]

Question, when Nintendo sent u the new switch, did they transfer your save data?

[@LowNSl0w]

Also can u give me the link to send my switch in? Thanks!

[@asrikhalid6391]

In my case, i thought my charger got malfunction. But i let it charged my NS, via docker for more then 6 Hours. First check, screen still blank, not working at all. But popping the SD card out, hold power ON for more then 10 sec, my NS light up shows 100% charged.

My dock is blinking just the way yours did, but without the console. Even if i just plug the AC adapter to it it starts blinking nonstop. If I try plugging hdmi and also the Switch, it doesn't output to the TV, keeps blinking. AC adapter is fine, the Switch is charging directly with it, the problem is just the dock apparently :(

[@calistajackson7898]

Same with mine. The cord charges it by itself but when I plug it into the dock it doesn’t work anymore

[@johnjohnbingbong]

Mine had the same issue just happen. My guess is something got fried in the actual port motherboard/wtf that junction is called. My guess is it's probably going to just be easier and cheaper to buy a new port

[@bigdaddychungus8908]

Clean your switch more

[@erickcaldera5695]

For me, my problem is that my switch does charge when it's on the dock, but it won't project on the TV. Before the dock would be blinking green but anymore. But it still won't display on the TV. Any solutions?

[@silentlyreborn586]

If it's charging then it may be the hdmi port do you have another dock you can test with

[@erickcaldera5695]

@@silentlyreborn586 I do but the problem may be with the switch itself as other switches does work with the dock but mine doesn't

Mine is doing this. Tried it on two official docks both flash green and do not charge or connect to the TV. But for me it still charges with the original cable plugged directly into it.

[@silentlyreborn586]

Sounds like what happened to me exactly. Since then I've found out that it's an issue with the usb c connection for some reason it decides it isn't connecting enough. So the only way to fix it is 1. Send it into nintendo and pay $100 or more. Or have a third party repair replace the usbc port entirely
