Nintendo Switch charging port repair on the Wirral and across Merseyside.

Switch not charging, only charging at a certain angle, or not showing on the TV when docked? The USB-C port wears out and gets damaged, and it's soldered to the board, so it needs proper micro-soldering to replace. We repair the Switch, Switch Lite and Switch OLED.

How the repair works

  1. Diagnosed first

    We check it's the port and not the charger, the dock or the charging chip on the board.

  2. Old port removed

    The console is opened and the old port taken off the board.

  3. Pads cleaned under the scope

    Every pad is cleaned and checked under the microscope before anything new goes on.

  4. New port fitted and tested

    A new USB-C port is soldered in and screwed down, then the console is tested on charge and in the dock. Aimed at same day.

Questions

Does it cover all Switch models?

Yes: the original Switch, the Switch Lite and the Switch OLED, all at the same guide price.

Will I lose my games and saves?

No. A port repair doesn't touch your saves, but syncing to Nintendo Switch Online beforehand is always a good idea.
