So recently, my switch has started becoming worse. It's goes to sleep when it isn't even 1% battery anymore. it can go automatically to sleep at 14% now. Also, my switch is overheating too much to the point where it sleeps automatically. And I noticed that the fans aren't working. It isn't blowing anything nor making any sound that would signify it is blowing something. What do I do?

primal canyon
#

well

#

first of all

#

your fan isnt working

#

gotta replace that

#

might also want to clean it if anything got into it

#

change thermopaste while your at it replacing the fan

#

also the switch automatically goes to sleep if there is no input for a certain amount of time if you have that on and if that same period amount of time hasnt passed then i suppose the issue is the battery

#

@brave heron

#

for the battery part, do you live in a cold area?

brave heron
#

im actively playing the game when it turns off at 14%

primal canyon
#

you see

brave heron
#

this never happened before until a few weeks ago

primal canyon
#

the battery's ability to give power decreases with temperature

#

the battery could be also dying and malfunctioning

#

may show 14% but in reality it already hit 0%

brave heron
#

I may have to look into getting a new switch

primal canyon
#

especially in older switch's the battery life from the time you have purchased has significantly decreased

brave heron
#

i got this switch around 2018 i think

primal canyon
#

yeah

#

id be surprised if the battery was still in top shape

brave heron
#

it dies really fast

primal canyon
#

yep

brave heron
#

after only 2 hours of playing

#

i'd be lucky if it survived 2 hours

primal canyon
#

ah well that depends on what games you play

#

what game did it play for 2 hours?

brave heron
primal canyon
#

ah damn

#

the infamous laggy and unoptimized game of 2023

brave heron
#

Yup!

#

Only reason i play it is cause i love pokemon too much

#

its actual shit

#

would an OLED be a good device to buy?

primal canyon
#

hmmm

brave heron
#

or Lite I guess

primal canyon
#

an oled has a better screen quality and 32gb more internal storage

primal canyon
#

the lite cannot input to a tv as always

#

overall your performance in games wont change since they use the same components it really depends on what do you care about

#

you will need both switch's to transfer your pokemon save data just saying

#

(they dont save in cloud)

#

(and you cant copy them from the internal storage)

brave heron
brave heron
#

and buy an OLED

#

i dont think my switch lasting much longer even if I fixed the fan

primal canyon
#

30 mons

brave heron

#

oh alright then nothing to worry about

#

lately ive been getting more and more people with issues about pokemon

brave heron
#

Pokemon is problematic AF

#

I say this as a pokemon lover

brave heron
primal canyon
#

i personally think that swsh is the most stable pokemon game there is on the ninendo switch

primal canyon
#

bought it this august

#

was on a sale 👍

#

came with a free game and accessories for the switch

brave heron
primal canyon
#

for some reason i chose pokemon sword as my first game

brave heron
#

the only reason I play SV is because SwSh doesnt have Greninja due to dexit

primal canyon
#

didnt i use a greninja or am i just imagining

brave heron
primal canyon
#

oh nvm it was a shiny charizard 😂 😂

brave heron
primal canyon
#

came with a joycon holder too and some other stuff

#

let me try and whip up pokemon violet in a sec

#

ah well discord is having issues again

#
