    Hardware My switch doesn't charge, won't turn on, or is otherwise not functioning at all. Where do I start?

    Hardware Repair Log thread for motherboard and Joycon PCB repair logs

    Hey guys, this thread looks super helpful. I just bought my first broken Switch. Was advertised as “don’t know why it stopped working” but after I got it home and opened up the back, someone’s been digging around and bent a ton of pins. At this point I’d just like to try and make it boot or...
