Common Problems
Nintendo Switch problems we fix every day
Across the original Switch, Switch Lite, and Switch OLED, these are the repairs we see most.
-
Most common
Won't charge / loose port
Console won't power on unless the cable is held at an angle, or won't charge at all — almost always the charging port or charging IC.
-
Cracked or dead screen
Dropped it, sat on it, or the display just went black — we replace both LCD (Switch/Lite) and OLED panels.
-
Joystick / stick drift
Character moves on its own? Joy-Con and Switch 2 Joy-Con 2 stick drift repair is available — custom-quoted since every case varies.
-
Won't read game cards
Cartridge won't register, or the console says "insert game card" with one already in — the card slot needs replacing.
How charging ports get damaged: docking at an angle, kids yanking the cable, or years of daily plug/unplug wear. It's the single most common Switch repair we see — we replace them every single day.
Thinking of fixing the charge port yourself? Please read this first.
Switch charging ports are surface-mounted with tiny pins fused directly to the motherboard — true micro-soldering work. A heat gun or soldering iron in the wrong hands lifts the copper pads off the board (“torn pads”), which turns a $100 fix into a full board repair — or a dead console.
We do it the right way: under a microscope, with a professional hot-air rework station and proper flux.

“They are the best, especially Angela and James. That woman is my saving grace. I appreciate them for being so patient with me and just her checking up on me when I had a rough morning today. James was quick in dropping off my son’s switch and such a sweetheart. I couldn’t ask for better service. I will definitely make sure to recommend them to anyone who needs services.”
