can you show me a picture? I need to know whether the charger supports the USB PD standard

crystal lance
#

im on pc so i cant photo

half furnace
#

you can use your phone to take a photo can't you?

crystal lance
#

heres the charger

half furnace
#

yeah that's not USB PD

crystal lance
#

oh okay

#

is that why it wont work

half furnace
#

you need a USB-C charger that supports USB PD, and even then it will only work plugged directly into the switch (not with the dock)

crystal lance
#

oh

#

is there anything i can do, i have no money to repair the screen or buy a new charger

half furnace
#

how is the screen broken?

crystal lance
#

horizontal random coloured lines and most of the screen is black

#

you can see a crack on the right side while the screen is on but not when its off

#

and the top of the screen has a kinda wobbling effect

half furnace
#

a crack? Did you drop the console?

crystal lance
#

my brother had my switch when it broke

half furnace
#

did he drop the console?

crystal lance
#

he says he hit it with a controller

#

or something

half furnace
#

then you should make him pay for repairing it

crystal lance
#

yea

#

he let me borrow his switch for a few months

#

the touch screen works since i can still hear the sound that plays when you press that button 3 times

half furnace
#

You may need to get the entire screen replaced.

crystal lance
#

do you know how much that might cost?

#

like average price

half furnace
#

I know in the US it costs $100 if you go through Nintendo. No idea about UK pricing.

crystal lance
#

ohh alright

i might just buy a new one instead of repairing it when i get the money

half furnace
#

that will cost more than repairs

crystal lance
#

oh i thought it would not if you buy tablet only

#

since some people sell it for cheap

half furnace
#

kinda tough to buy the tablet only unless you buy used.

crystal lance
#

#
