⚠️ Advanced Micro-Soldering Required — Professionals Only
The BQ24193 is a BGA-type integrated circuit. Replacement requires a hot air rework station, quality flux, BGA reballing skills, and experience with Nintendo Switch motherboard repair. Incorrect heat, poor flux application, or pad damage during removal will permanently destroy the board. This part is intended for trained technicians only — not a beginner repair.

What the BQ24193 Controls
The BQ24193 is a Texas Instruments Li-Ion battery charger IC embedded in the Nintendo Switch motherboard. It controls how the battery charges — current rate, cutoff voltage, thermal limits, and power delivery from the USB-C port. When it fails, the Switch either refuses to charge at all, charges extremely slowly, or draws only 0.46A regardless of charger output. Replacing the chip with a correct-spec BQ24193 restores full charging logic to the board.
🔍 Is This the Right Part? Diagnostic Fault Patterns
A failed BQ24193 creates specific, recognisable fault patterns. Match your Switch symptoms below before ordering.
⚡ 0.46A Stuck Draw
The Switch draws only 0.46A from any charger and never progresses to a higher current. This is the most common electrical signature of a failed BQ24193 on the Switch motherboard.
🔋 Won't Charge At All
Switch shows no charging indicator. Battery drains fully and the console will not accept charge even from the official Nintendo charger. USB-C port is intact and shows no physical damage.
🐢 Extremely Slow Charge
Switch charges, but only from near-empty to full in 10–12+ hours. The BQ24193 is limiting the charge rate well below normal. Screen-on charging may not keep up with discharge.
🌡️ Overheating at Port
Switch runs unusually hot near the USB-C area while charging. The BQ24193 failing can cause unregulated current flow, leading to excess heat in the charging circuit.
⚠️ Always rule out the USB-C port first. If the port has bent pins or physical damage, replace it before diagnosing the BQ24193. A damaged port can mimic IC failure. If the port is intact and you are still seeing a 0.46A draw, the BQ24193 is the likely fault. Call 0480 039 913 if you need help diagnosing before you order.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
My Nintendo Switch draws exactly 0.46A and won't charge — is this the BQ24193?+
Yes — 0.46A stuck draw is the most recognised electrical signature of a failed BQ24193 on the Nintendo Switch. The IC stops regulating the charge current properly and the board defaults to a low fixed draw. Before replacing the chip, confirm the USB-C port is physically intact, as a damaged port can produce similar readings. If the port is fine and 0.46A persists across multiple chargers, replace the BQ24193. Call 0480 039 913 if you need help confirming the diagnosis.
What is the BQ24193 and what does it do on the Nintendo Switch?+
The BQ24193 is a Texas Instruments Li-Ion battery charger IC. It sits on the Nintendo Switch motherboard and manages the entire battery charging process — input current limit, charge rate, thermal cutoff, and battery protection. When the chip fails, the Switch loses the ability to charge correctly. Symptoms range from complete no-charge to capped low current draw. Replacing it with a working BQ24193 restores all charging logic.
What tools and skills are needed to replace the BQ24193?+
BQ24193 replacement is an advanced BGA micro-soldering job. You need a hot air rework station with precise temperature control, quality no-clean flux, solder wick for pad cleaning, flux cleaner, and experience with SMD IC removal and reballing. The BQ24193 is a fine-pitch BGA package — incorrect airflow, temperature, or flux can lift pads on the Switch motherboard, causing irreparable board damage. This is not a beginner repair. If you are not confident with BGA work, send the board to a professional.
Should I replace the BQ24193 or the M92T36 first?+
Diagnose first — do not replace both at once. If you see a 0.46A draw with an intact USB-C port and a healthy battery, the BQ24193 is the primary suspect. The M92T36 manages USB-C power negotiation upstream of the BQ24193 — a failed M92T36 usually shows as 0A draw (no current at all), not 0.46A. Use a USB-C power meter to confirm current behaviour before deciding which chip to replace. JPC Mobile stocks both ICs — call 0480 039 913 if you need to discuss diagnosis before ordering.
Which Nintendo Switch models use the BQ24193?+
The BQ24193 is confirmed in the original Nintendo Switch HAC-001 (V1, 2017) and HAC-001(-01) (V2, 2019). For the Switch Lite (HAC-002) and Switch OLED (HEG-001), verify the part number on the board before ordering — the board architecture differs across models. Call 0480 039 913 to confirm compatibility for your specific model before purchasing.
What is the warranty on this component?+
DOA (Dead on Arrival) claims are accepted within 7 days of delivery. Contact JPC Mobile on 0480 039 913 with evidence of the fault. DOA warranty covers the chip itself arriving non-functional — it does not cover damage caused during installation, pad lifting from improper heat application, or board damage from incorrect flux or technique. Once the chip has been handled for installation, DOA claims cannot be accepted.
Can I buy this in bulk for a repair shop?+
Yes. JPC Mobile supplies repair shops and professional technicians across Australia. The BQ24193 is one of the most common Nintendo Switch board-level repairs — stocking it reduces turnaround time for your customers. Call 0480 039 913 or visit Shop 3A, 152 Woogaroo St, Forest Lake QLD 4078 to discuss trade pricing and bulk availability.
Is this a good buy for console flippers and resellers?+
Yes — the BQ24193 swap is one of the highest-margin repairs on a broken Nintendo Switch. "Won't charge" listings on eBay and Gumtree often sell for a fraction of working console prices. If the BQ24193 is the only fault, the repair cost is low and the resale value recovery is significant. The key is accurate diagnosis before buying the console — confirm the 0.46A draw signature and intact port before committing to the repair.
How do I confirm the BQ24193 is the fault and not the battery?+
Use a USB-C power meter to read current draw from the charger. A healthy Switch pulls 1A or more on a compatible charger. A BQ24193 fault typically shows 0.46A locked regardless of charger wattage. To rule out the battery, use a known-good battery from another working Switch. If the current behaviour stays the same with a different battery, the fault is on the board — BQ24193 is the first IC to suspect. Call 0480 039 913 for step-by-step diagnosis support.
