My switch currently can't charge. I used to use my Nintendo charger, but it stopped charging the switch and all devices used with it, so I switched to my laptop charger for my switch. It worked well for a few months but then my laptop charger stopped working on it even though it still works on all other devices. Should I buy a new charger, or get the switch repaired?
#Switch won't turn on when charged, tried power cycling but nothing is working. What should I do?

Well, I smell tons of misuse problem. Your old original Switch charger may have stopped working, but using the Switch with a non-standard charger without actually read the specs might create problem on the Switch's charging circuit.
