Switch 2 won't turn on? From £149, after diagnosis. We diagnose the fault first. £149 covers the common causes, a failed battery or charging port. If it's a board fault, we quote you before any work, and you decide whether to go ahead. 12-month warranty, London workshop or UK mail-in.
Signs your Switch 2 needs a no-power repair
- Black screen, no response to the power button
- Won't charge: no charging icon, in or out of the dock
- Turns on for a second or two, then shuts down
- Dead after using a third-party charger or dock
What we do
- Check the battery, the USB-C port and the charging circuit first, then the board.
- A board fault is quoted before any work, and repaired at board level by our specialist board technician if you go ahead.
- The console is charged, powered on and tested before it goes back. Photos or video of the work on request.
Quick checks before you book:
1. Charge for at least 30 minutes with the Switch 2 power adapter and an undamaged USB-C cable.
2. Plug it straight into the wall, not the dock, to rule out the dock.
3. Try the other USB-C port on the console. If only one port works, that port is faulty.
4. Hold the power button for about 20 seconds, then press it again to switch on.
Still nothing? Book a repair below.
We don't wipe the console. Saves on the console stay where they are unless the storage itself has failed, and we'll tell you before doing anything that affects data.

My Switch 2 won't turn on at all: is it fixable?
Usually, yes. We diagnose the fault first. No-power repairs are from £149.00, and we confirm the price before any work.
Is it the battery, the port or the board?
From the outside they look the same. We check the battery and both USB-C ports first, then the board, and tell you which it is before doing anything else.
Will I lose my saves?
We don't wipe the console. Saves on the console stay where they are unless the storage itself has failed, and we'll tell you before doing anything that affects data.
How long will the repair take?
We aim to complete repairs as safely and as soon as possible, however note it can take up to 3-5 days or longer depending on parts availability. When we're busy, a repair or upgrade can be delayed by up to 7-10 working days - we do everything we can to avoid that and keep you updated.

As soon as you have completed your order we will send you a confirmation email. In the UK that includes your prepaid tracked label (if you chose one at checkout) - a QR code to use at your local Post Office.
