Switch no longer charges - this may be the cause

For an unrestricted gaming experience, the Switch must be charged regularly, as it consumes a lot of battery power in handheld mode. If the Switch no longer charges, then this can have various causes, which can sometimes be quickly and easily fixed.

This is why your Switch no longer charges

Normally, the Switch's battery lasts up to three hours without any problems. This depends on the screen brightness, the type of game, but also on the other functions that are used. To check why the Switch no longer charges, there are several ways.

1. First, you should check whether it is an original charger and original power supply, as this can often cause charging problems.
2. Test then whether the Switch resumes the charging process when you turn off the console and you take it off the power for 30 seconds. It is best to use a wall socket for this, as there may be interference with multiple sockets.
3. Also check whether the Switch charges via the docking station. To do this, connect it to your TV and check that everything is connected correctly. If nothing happens here either, then the docking station is defective and requires repair.
4. Possibly your Switch has simply hung up and needs a restart. Therefore, hold down the "Power" button of the device for about 12 seconds and wait until it has completely booted up again. Anschließend überprüfen Sie die vorherigen Möglichkeiten erneut.
5. Sollte nun noch immer nichts funktionieren und Ihre Switch lädt noch immer nicht, dann bedarf das Gerät einer Reparatur.
