Common Switch Faults We Fix
Spot your symptom below? Bring your Switch in for a free workshop check.
How to Tell What's Wrong With Your Switch
Quick checks to narrow your fault before walk-in. Helps you understand the likely repair cost.
Joy-Con Drift Test
Open System Settings > Controllers and Sensors > Calibrate Control Sticks. Watch the dot with no input.
Dot moves on its own: $49 thumbstick swap per Joy-Con. Confirmed in 1-2 hours.
Wont Charge Diagnosis
Try a different USB-C cable and the genuine Nintendo charger. Wiggle the cable in the port.
Loose port: $145 USB-C swap. Port fine but still no charge: M92T36 chip rework.
Cracked Screen vs Display Fault
Visible cracks on glass means screen swap. Lines or dead pixels usually mean LCD or OLED panel fault.
Switch LCD: $149. Lite LCD: $169. OLED panel: $279.
No Signal on TV When Docked
Try a different HDMI cable and a different TV input. Test the dock with a borrowed Switch.
Dock works on borrowed unit: P13USB chip rework on your Switch.
Battery Dying Fast
If your Switch is older than three years, the battery has likely degraded. Original Switch had a known weak cell.
Switch battery swap: $129. OLED battery: $145.
Switch Wont Power On
Hold power button 12 seconds for hard reset. Try charging for 30 minutes first. Watch for the charge LED.
Still nothing: $149 no-power repair, often M92T36 chip swap.

Nintendo Switch Repair FAQs
How much does Joy-Con drift repair cost?
Joy-Con stick drift repair is $49 per Joy-Con with twelve-month warranty. Most jobs done within 1-2 hours when dropped in early. Same $49 price applies to Switch Lite built-in thumbstick and Pro Controller stick drift. We swap the joystick module on the bench.
Why won't my Nintendo Switch charge anymore?
Two common causes. A loose USB-C port from cable strain costs $145 to swap. A failed M92T36 power IC needs chip-level rework, quoted free after diagnosis. Try a different cable and the genuine charger first. Free in-store test confirms which fault you have.
How much is a cracked Switch screen replacement?
Original Switch and V2 LCD replacement is $149 fitted. Switch Lite LCD is $169 due to integrated touch digitiser. Switch OLED 7-inch panel is $279. All come with twelve-month parts and labour warranty. Free in-store screen test included.
Can you fix Switch dock no signal on TV?
Yes. Two main faults. Dock board failure is quoted free after testing. Console-side P13USB chip failure also causes no TV output. We test the dock with a known-good Switch first. If the dock works, the fix is on your console board.
How much is Switch battery replacement?
Original Switch and V2 battery replacement is $129 with twelve-month warranty. Switch OLED battery is $145 (per RepairDesk vendor terms, no warranty on the OLED cell). Restores six-hour handheld playtime on most consoles. Cloud saves stay intact during the swap.
What is the M92T36 chip and why does it fail?
M92T36 is the USB-C power management IC on every Switch motherboard. It controls charging and dock signalling. Failure causes no-charge, no-dock-mode and random restart faults. Often killed by third-party docks and cheap chargers. Reflow or chip swap is the fix. Quoted free after diagnosis.
Do you mail-in repair Switch Australia-wide?
Yes. Australia-wide mail-in service is available. Use the booking form below. Select Mail-In Service when prompted. Pack the Switch with original packaging if possible. We diagnose free and quote in writing before any work. Tracked return postage included on most repairs.
Can you fix Joy-Con SR or SL buttons that aren't working?
Yes. Joy-Con SR and SL button faults sit on a small flex cable that tears easily. Fix is rail flex replacement, quoted free after inspection. Same flex carries Joy-Con-detected and charge signals. Often fixes "Joy-Con disconnected" errors at the same time.
Is liquid damage repair worth it on a Switch?
Sometimes yes. Bring your wet Switch in as soon as possible. Time matters with liquid damage. Our process is full teardown, ultrasonic board cleaning and corrosion treatment. Liquid damage results vary case by case. Free diagnosis quote first. No warranty on liquid recovery.
Do you also repair 3DS, 2DS, Wii or Wii U?
Yes, where parts remain available. 3DS XL housing replacement is $149 and top LCD repair is $99. Wii diagnostics are free in store. Older Nintendo handhelds and consoles welcome. Bring them in for an honest assessment.
