Nintendo Switch Not Charging

This is a guide on diagnosing and repairing charging issues on the Nintendo Switch for all versions, including both patched and unpatched consoles. The Nintendo Switch can display several critical charging issues including issues where no power will be going into the motherboard at all, charging will only occur using the charger in a certain orientation and where fast charging functions will not work, amongst other issues.

The Nintendo Switch has 2 main failure points for charging-related issues, M92T36 and P13USB. M92T36 is a custom USB-C power management IC created by Romh Semiconductor specifically for Nintendo Switch products. P13USB is a video output IC which also plays a crucial role in charging functionality. When port damage or charging cable damage occurs, either of the 2 primary charging ICs regularly fail. These failures can usually be pinpointed with a multimeter fairly easily, although the failures are often less obvious and do not show up using continuity mode by testing components around the ICs.
