Hardware How to Fix Battery Bug

[nachuz]

1. Ensure the console has the version 3.0.1 or higher.
2. Set the Auto-Sleep mode to "Never" for "Playing on Console Screen" and for "Connected to TV."
3. Connect the AC adapter directly to the console until the battery is fully charged.
   • If the battery charge indicator does not reach 100%, simply allow the console to charge for approximately three hours.
4. Once the battery is fully charged, leave the console alone for one hour with the AC adapter still connected to it.
5. Afterward, disconnect the AC adapter and allow the console to display the HOME Menu for approximately three to four hours.
   • The remaining battery life must be depleted as much as possible.
6. Once the battery charge is almost depleted, power off the console and leave it alone for at least 30 minutes.
7. Repeat steps 2 through 6 several times.
   • The battery charge indicator will improve gradually by repeating this process several times.

I know that this MIGHT WORK, but also take in consideration that Nintendo did not write that based on user installing LINUX on the Switch.
