How to Fix Nintendo Switch Lite Not Charging

It’s really frustrating and alarming at the same time whenever you find that your Nintendo Switch Lite doesn’t charge and therefore it doesn’t boot as well. Since there is no way to dock or connect the Nintendo Switch Lite model to a TV, whenever the battery runs out, it’s quite difficult to check for the same.

1. Check the Power Outlet/Source

It seems that somehow your power source or outlet from the wall doesn’t have electric connectivity or have some issues. Try using another power outlet to check if the charging problem has been fixed or not.

2. Check your Nintendo AC adapter and its cable

Make sure to check out whether your Nintendo AC adapter and its cable are working properly or not. Sometimes it may possible that there is some issue with the adapter or the cable or even USB Type-C connector. If that’s the reason, change the adapter to fix the issue.

3. Try using another Nintendo Switch AC adapter

As we’ve already mentioned in the previous method, if your Nintendo AC adapter has some issues with charging then make sure to use another genuine AC adapter to check for the problem.

4. Connect the AC adapter directly to the outlet

It’s also worth mentioning not to charge the Nintendo Switch Lite console indirectly. Just directly connect the AC adapter to the power outlet or wall socket and then try charging the console.

5. Keep charging the console overnight

If in case, you feel that somehow the console runs out the battery completely for a while then just make sure to keep charging it overnight and then check out whether the console turns on or not.

6. Gently clean the USB-C port and charger

Make sure to gently clean the USB Type-C charging port of the AC adapter and the console as well using a soft earbud (dry) to ensure there is no dirt/dust/moisture is causing such an issue. Be gentle while cleaning the port otherwise, you may damage the port physically.

7. Repair your Nintendo Switch Lite

If nothing seems working for you, then make sure to contact the official Nintendo Customer Support and submit a help ticket for your issue. Otherwise, you can directly visit the nearest Nintendo Switch service center for repairing it by professionals.
