So, yesterday I arrived at our resort (yes this is important to the story). I brought my switch to dock it while I was there! I got there, set the dock up and it worked completely fine. I took the switch off the dock overnight. I went to play again earlier today, and not my switch doesn’t charge from the dock or directly from wall outlet to console. I’ve tried restarting, hard resetting, and making sure to let the charger sit for a bit. Did the hotel outlet do something to my wire?
#Switch not charging
spring plaza
oooh boy
sso it isn't charging?
Most hotel wires AREN'T that good,
I suggest getting a new one?
(charger, that is)
radiant basin
@unique fjord wiggle the cord
And how did you have it charging
Hmm
If you charged it by dock it can't be the port
unique fjord
no it doesnt charge by dock or regular wire now
they both worked fine last night, though
unique fjord
<@956705760400793662> wiggle the cord
i tried lmao
radiant basin
@unique fjord try leaving the switch charging for a while even if it doesn't charge
It might just the switch
unique fjord
im just gonna turn OFF the switch for awhile while i meet with a f riend
and ill try it again when i come back
that could work
radiant basin
I remember my joycon wouldn't register to my switch and after leaving it alone it connected
Sometimes it's the switch acting buggy
unique fjord
im probably just gonna leave my switch till later yeah
and if it doesnt work, then ill wait till i get home. the hotel outlet couldve done something to my wire, who knows
radiant basin
Its a high chance it will start charging when you get back
unique fjord
Have you been using the original AC adapter? <@956705760400793662>
Yep
It’s still not charging as of a few minutes ago. I’m back at the pool rn so I’ll check again

leave it for 5-10 hours
So do the reset, and then leave it plugged in for 5-10 hours?
blissful narwhal
Yes
unique fjord
Could I just leave it overnight?
blissful narwhal
Well, that'll do, too
unique fjord
I’ll try it again at home too, as I’m still at the resort
Is there a reason why it would be doing this?
blissful narwhal
Is there a reason why it would be doing this?
It's a problem with the power management chip. It can be from using 3rd party charger that doesn't suit the Switch, or leaving it without charging for too long. And sometime it just does it on its own.
This is covered in our power/charging guide

I didn’t have it charging overnight.
First night I’ve done it
blissful narwhal
I didn’t have it charging overnight.
Hmm which charger did you use to charge it overnight?
And if you used that charger often, can you read the input specs on it for me?
unique fjord
Hmm which charger did you use to charge it overnight?
I said I DIDNT have it charging overnight
I use the original charger that came with the console. Never used any 3rd party one
blissful narwhal
Well, you did say first night you have done it, but I'm not sure what you meant
Ah I see, you used the AC adapter on your phone, not the other way around
unique fjord
What
I’m confused
I think you’re confused
I didn’t use my phone charger for the switch
blissful narwhal
However I find it weird that my phone charges just fine.
What's this about then?
unique fjord
I used my phone as an example that my phone charges fine from that outlet
blissful narwhal
That's what I said
unique fjord
Because I brought up that this happened at the resort with a different outlet
blissful narwhal
But that's dangerous, don't do that. Since the Switch's AC adapter has only 2 power schemes.
Most chargers have 3 (or more), if the power schemes don't match with your phone, it might damage it
unique fjord

I’m confused
blissful narwhal
Don't use the Switch's AC adapter to charge anything but the Switch.
blissful narwhal
Ah you tested the outlet...
unique fjord
Yes
blissful narwhal
I see I see
blissful narwhal
I thought you meant the Switch's AC adapter
unique fjord
No I can see where that can be mixed up dw
blissful narwhal
For these problems, it's never the outlet though, so that's not a problem
Anyway, you have the steps to do. Anything else from it is unclear?
blissful narwhal
make sure to read the power/charging guide though, it's good to know those info
blissful narwhal
It’s plugged in now. I’ll let you know in the morning
Does it charge at all?
I meant like right now
unique fjord
No
blissful narwhal
Damn, I hope it's nothing big
blissful narwhal
Well, I'm not gonna scare you of what it can be now. So let's just wait.
unique fjord
I’ve had my switch for around 7 months now
blissful narwhal
Hmm that's relative new.
Even if it's a hardware issue, I think it's still OK-ish, your Switch is still within warranty.
It sucks to not have it around while it's being repaired but better than paying for the repair, which can cost upward $100 for this kind of issue.
blissful narwhal
I can't see the battery icon well, can you zoom on it?
Also, make sure the bottom and top vents are clear of obstructions while it's charging.
unique fjord
unique fjord
I’m so freaking scared bro
blissful narwhal
You have a different Switch?
unique fjord
Nope
blissful narwhal
Alright nvm testing then
unique fjord
My sister has a USB-C cable in her car. I’ll see if I can maybe get that to see if it’s the wire?
unique fjord
I meant, do you have access to one?
Nope
blissful narwhal
My sister has a USB-C cable in her car. I’ll see if I can maybe get that to see ...
No, the AC adapter's wire is not detachable
blissful narwhal
Then it's useless
unique fjord
Is using a different block for a sec dangerous?
Just to test and see if it’s the wire
blissful narwhal
Well, you already saw what I mentioned earlier
unique fjord
Mhm
blissful narwhal
So don't
unique fjord
This is why I don’t like the switch in some ways
blissful narwhal
Unless you actually read the guide and know how to read chargers' specs
unique fjord
There are so many bugs and issues
unique fjord
Unless you actually read the guide and know how to read chargers' specs
No I didn’t lol
I figure most people don’t
blissful narwhal
Yeah, most people don't and hence they can't deal with these issues
blissful narwhal
There are so many bugs and issues
Well, it's a relative cheap handheld console. Not much you can do about it.
unique fjord
I’ve already known about the whole charging thing forever though
Hence why I never used a 3rd party
unique fjord
Well, it's a relative cheap handheld console. Not much you can do about it.
Cheap????
$300 is not cheap
blissful narwhal
Cost of production is much lower than that
And yes, it's actually cheaper compare to a phone
blissful narwhal
and much cheaper compare to other modern consoles
Relax, everything can be fixed, you still have warranty
unique fjord
And then, taking this up with my parents if it doesn’t work? We searched forever to be able to find one of the animal crossing editions.
unique fjord
Relax, everything can be fixed, you still have warranty
Would I just send a request to nintendo or sum?

Eh, if you know how to do custom shell, it ain't that impressive

That's fine
And eh, if you really want to ask questions about those
read the power/charging guide
and read the repair guide in #972512184921907280

Can It be found online?
blissful narwhal
Go read
unique fjord
I literally posted it earlier
OHHHH
You meant that
I thought you meant there was one maid by nintendo 😭 im so sorry
blissful narwhal
It's fine, but please try to read them
Nintendo is a company, their advices are often super generic
and if there's an under-lying issue, they wouldn't admit it lol
unique fjord
It's fine, but please try to read them
I did
But yeah I have always used every single original cable for my switch. Always. Never used anything 3rd party at all
unique fjord
If you read the guide, you would know how
Chill
My god
I did
I’m just saying that I haven’t
And don’t plan on

@blissful narwhal Just checked my switch. Been about 5-6 hours since I plugged it in. Still not charging.

Not really. And if it's a surge protector, it would be better.
You may have a broken power management chip. I'd test it with a Power Delivery charger but hey you don't wanna plug it in a 3rd party.
Best bet is to send it in for repair

Yes, but a sub $300 phone ain't gonna let you play exclusive games on it.
A $300 phone has a lot of use than just playing games. The discussion here is $300 is definitely not a cheap amount. My android phone cost me $190
And I have been using it for 3 years
blissful narwhal
Ok, understand. But this is rather off-topic to the OP's question, let's end that here.

I don’t mind, but I don’t have a PD charger
unique fjord
Is it guaranteed that Nintendo will fix it?
blissful narwhal
Alright, it's best to be safe
unique fjord
I’ll try my sisters USB C charger though
blissful narwhal
Eh don't
unique fjord
Just to check and see if it’s the wire I won’t actively use it
blissful narwhal
Haha please remember that the "wire" is not just the wire, it's a power supply that's attached with a cable
Since a lot of people think the cable plays a major part but it's actually the power supply
unique fjord
I fr hope it’s just the ac adapter
blissful narwhal
anyway, Idk what went wrong so I can't suggest you to use any charger without PD in it
You can check around to see if you have a charger with PD on them and use it to test
flint oracle
I don’t mind, but I don’t have a PD charger
What's the output of your charger? I use my phone charger which outputs 5v/3A
blissful narwhal
but if it doesn't have PD, and you use it on there, it might worsen the situation

If you buy a charger from a reputed brand like Xiaomi, One plus then they do have PD in their chargers. PD is an old tech.
blissful narwhal
Ya know, easily replaced
unique fjord
Yes, but we don't know that yet. Like you said, it can be just the AC adapter.
I was thinking last night and I do have a friend with a switch

It's not about the brand nor the tech, it has to be in it.
unique fjord
But, I won’t be seeing them anytime soon
Wait
@blissful narwhal does the charger that comes with the Pro Controller have PD?
blissful narwhal
I was thinking last night and I do have a friend with a switch
Oh borrowing an original AC adapter is the best to test
blissful narwhal
<@84771594655784960> does the charger that comes with the Pro Controller have PD...
The Pro con doesn't come with a charger, it comes with a cable
unique fjord
The Pro con doesn't come with a charger, it comes with a cable
Yes I know
flint oracle
It's not about the brand nor the tech, it has to be in it.
And they do include in it. Like I said, it's a decade old tech.
unique fjord
Listen,
Charger = whole thing. Cable and power supply.
That’s what I mean when I say charger
So
blissful narwhal
That's beyond the point @flint oracle
Even if it's an old tech, plenty of charger nowadays do not have it. Some uses their proprietary tech like Fast charging by Samsung or Warp charging by OPPO. You have to read the specs.
blissful narwhal
That’s what I mean when I say charger
But the Pro con has no charger that comes with it, so Idk which one you are referring to?

Is it the power supply that has PD, or the cable?
flint oracle

The power brick
unique fjord
The power brick
Ah nevermind then
flint oracle
I have seen that even MacBook chargers work for Switch charging
flint oracle
As long as you have a USB c
blissful narwhal
It's even listed in our recommend charger/power bank
blissful narwhal
As long as you have a USB c
That's actually a dangerous way to think about it. Remember that tons of power supply still use USB-C and employ USB 2.0. May not be macbook newer gen though.
Here's a list if you want to take a look

@blissful narwhal I reset the AC adapter again earlier. It’s currently plugged in directly to the wall. I’m gonna give it a full 12 hours.
blissful narwhal
But the list is not conclusive, you can use any power supply that has PD
Hmm what is that power extension you used previously?
Although I doubt it has any effect but just to be sure
unique fjord
If not, I’ll try another AC adapter. My friend has a switch and I’ll see if I can use his AC adapter
blissful narwhal
Yep, that'd be best
unique fjord
Hmm what is that power extension you used previously?
Just an average extension cord
blissful narwhal
Yeah that should not affect anything unless the whole power grid got some fluctuation
blissful narwhal
and even if that to happen, it would affect your other devices plugging into it as well
unique fjord
Yeah exactly
So it’s either the AC Adapter or the switch.
I’m praying it’s just the AC adapter.
But hey, at least im under warranty and I can get it repaired for free.
blissful narwhal
But hey, at least im under warranty and I can get it repaired for free.
Yep, so for now:
- Test it with a different original AC adapter or PD charger.
- Wait for it to charge backup with your current AC adapter.
- If not, log a repair ._.
unique fjord
Yep, so for now:
- Test it with a different original AC adapter or PD charger.

Yeah it’s been awhile now. Still no sign of charging.
Luckily it’s at like 80%, so I can still backup whatever I need
unique fjord
Hey @blissful narwhal! I’m home
So I think it is the AC Adapter
I haven’t tried out another adapter yet, my friend hasn’t responded
However, I plugged the AC adapter into the dock like normal, and it wasn’t giving power to charge my Pro Controller either, or any power to the dock in general.
That’s giving me hope that it’s just the AC adapter!!
blissful narwhal
That’s giving me hope that it’s just the AC adapter!!
I see, that's good to know. Well, not much we can do till we can test it further.
The Pro controller test is smart lol
The AC adapter was designed to only work with NIntendo's products, and nothing else
so if you plug it into other stuffs it may create issues
unique fjord
I also plugged my phone charger into the dock as a power test (it doesnt charge, but it does give soem power). No power was received
So im 90% sure its the AC adapter
unique fjord
I see, that's good to know. Well, not much we can do till we can test it further...
Should I further test it??? Or should I just order a new AC adapter now
blissful narwhal
Should I further test it??? Or should I just order a new AC adapter now
Well, I'd still try to test it with a different AC adapter
A new AC adapter would cost quite a lot more
And what if it's not the AC adapter?
unique fjord
And what if it's not the AC adapter?
Then I return the new one and send the switch to Nintendo
My friend still hasn’t responded either so
I probs won’t be able to test it till this weekend
blissful narwhal
Then I return the new one and send the switch to Nintendo
Darn, surely you can get some other charger with PD on it?
It's a relative popular tech ;_;
unique fjord
Darn, surely you can get some other charger with PD on it?
I just don’t wanna risk 3rd party
I know you can
But I don’t trust it 😭
Plus didn’t it say in the guide that the official Nintendo ac adapter is best for the docked mode?
blissful narwhal
Yeah but who said you have to test or charge it using dock mode?
Well, up to you, you can get a new AC adapter
unique fjord
OH you meant testing
blissful narwhal
just cost more time
unique fjord
I thought you meant long term
blissful narwhal
OH you meant testing
AND charging
unique fjord
AND charging
In handheld
blissful narwhal
Heck, you can get a compatible 3rd party charger that will work on the dock just fine
You know how people fear things they don't understand?
unique fjord
Could you send some links to a couple of them?
blissful narwhal
like a shadow in the dark, you can't see it, so it's scary?
unique fjord
Amazon specifically
blissful narwhal
I write those articles to give people information so they can stop fearing the things they don't understand. But eh I guess the guides didn't do it work well 😔
blissful narwhal
Amazon specifically
blissful narwhal
Nah more like you can find some around you
Since PD is very common in modern day chargers
from tablet, smartphone
Many Apple's charger has it
unique fjord
Nah more like you can find some around you
I don’t have anything USB-C though other than my switch
blissful narwhal
Ah then doesn't matter
yeah just buy a new AC adapter then
maybe that's all the problem
blissful narwhal
Good that you have that option
blissful narwhal
But damn, I read recently about how all of those "returned" product become waste and got sold in lots
blissful narwhal
And do note, if it's something on your Switch, it can be expensive to repair
you still have warranty?
unique fjord
Yeah
blissful narwhal
oh that's nice then
blissful narwhal
For NA, yes
unique fjord
Then yes I’m still under warranty
Now you’re saying I can use a 3rd party PD adapter/cable long term, right?
With the dock too
blissful narwhal
Yes, but you need to check the specs
unique fjord
Could you just send me a couple that you know work?
If any
Or would it be easier for me to just buy the official one

Lemme finish eating and I’ll go look and see
Now, would a laptop USB port have PD?
I don’t think so but it’s worth asking
blissful narwhal
Now, would a laptop USB port have PD?
Possible but it's rare
Like very rare
Since people don't often do fast charging from laptop
unique fjord
My laptop is an HP Pavilion x360 Convertible
Probably not
I’ll just check the power banks

That's very helpful
I can get the exact model number hold on

Let me check hold on
I think so but I don’t have any USB-C to USB-C cables
Only USB-A to USB-C
But yes it does
Not on the USB A though.

Yeah, your laptop can charger your Switch, but only on USB-C port
that icon is a super speed fast charging USB-C

If you cant find one then just buy the original AC adapter to test then

Very handy to have
Well, at least now you know you can charger your Switch with your laptop
Although Idk what voltage it can do
enough for handheld though

If you can’t handle people not knowing everything, and complain directly to that person about it then why are you helping people? The way you’re acting shows that you expect everyone to know everything. They’re asking for help for a reason.

I never expect anyone to be knowledgeable when they seek help in this place. That's the whole reason why I keep representing those guides, they are written in the simplest way possible, to provide you with the information you lack and lead you to make a good decision on your own (If you do read them, that is) Plus I am always ready to provide more info if you ask.
You come in with a bias that you have to use original charger for all of your devices, and I respect that. It's a safe practice even in the lack of technical understanding. So I went along with that.
But multiple times you betray your own belief as well as the advices you were given. You tested your device on a random USB port. And when we both agreed on the course of action: Buying the original AC adapter to replace it, suddenly you changed that decision to a recommended charger. I guess that's fine, too, at least that's also safe. But then you wanted to buy a random brand cable. In all of these decisions you made, why didn't you ask about them at all? Isn't it wise to ask for advices on things you don't know? How do I follow your decisions? This is why I'm annoyed.
So in the end, which direction you want to go? Going along with your previous bias, my advices or just do whatever the heck you want?

The reason I switched up (no pun intended) with the 3rd party and original branded products throughout was BECAUSE you helped and convinced me to be able to do so. I just never explained that because explaining how I’ve felt is something I’ve genuinely always struggled with since I was little.
And it’s not just a random USB port lmao. It’s my laptop USB port. You act like my switch is going to spontaneously combust and then burn my whole house down with everything in it just because I did a split second test to make sure I didn’t have to spend $100 or more on a repair.
Thirdly, I actually looked into the “random branded” cable. I checked the specs. I made sure it had power delivery like I learned from you, and then went to you for advice about said randomly branded cable to make sure.
You acted like an asshole and that I did everything wrong
I think the majority of this argument is because of misunderstanding.

Again, why do you even make those random decisions when your own belief and my advices go against that?

I was very close minded at the start and learned more through out. That’s why I was so indecisive. Because I was still learning things.

and if you decided to do something, without reconfirm or ask for advices. Isn't that reckless for someone who claim to be not as techy as me?

I don’t understand
That doesn’t make since in general. I did ask for advice and made sure to confirm
blissful narwhal
I did not confirm you can plug it into any USB port, as well your previous belief it can damage the Switch.

Yes but, I made sure to emphasize the fact that I wasn’t going to continuously use that as a charging source because if my belief that I know it can damage the switch. I used what I had resource wise. I plugged it in for like, a half a second to make sure it charged and then unplugged
Again, like I said, the majority of this is just miscommunication, and things that just weren’t communicated at all

And who don't communicate?

And who don't communicate?
Me. And I fully admit that
Unlike you, who are still yet to admit to being wrong for your wrong-doings.
So are we going to let this go, and learn for the better in the future?
Or are we going to continue arguing like babies over a fucking Nintendo Switch.
I choose the first option.
blissful narwhal
I do not feel like my advices are respected if you just decide to do things on your own against all that. And heck, I was going along with your original bias, which I think is perfectly fine.
I just feel like giving your advices, agree on a course of action which then you ignore is really annoying.
Fine, I'll archive this

I never did anything against your advice that you spoke out about. When I did do something you didn’t mention, I made sure to go to you for said advice first
There was never any intended disrespect from myself.
And I apologize for any disrespect that was given
But you could’ve just told me nicely instead of treating me that way.
I hope we can end this here, learn from the mistakes and continue being friends.
