| This is usually a solved problem, but crops up occasionally. What is happening is the charge level is dropping below a level that the charge controller recognizes the battery at, so it won't even attempt to charge. This can sometimes be rectified by just dumping 5v into the battery for about 30 seconds, bringing its voltage up high enough for the controller to do its job. The Switch seems to have exceptionally dumb power state situations it can find itself in. That is not just limited to the Switch, but apparently the power adapter has its own issues and needs to be unplugged for at least 30 seconds to be reset if it too enters into a faulty state. You can attempt the right voodoo incantations with your switch: 1. Don't use the dock for any of this process. 2. Unplug the PSU from the wall for 1 minute or more. 3. Hard reset the switch by holding the power button for 12 seconds. 4. Plug the PSU into the switch and let it sit over night. 5. Repeat step 3. If that doesn't work and nothing else is damaged, you get to take out about 20 screws to get to the battery and either replace it, or jump start it to revive it. |
Seriously, very cool of you.
