Try buying a new battery.

Then try:

1st: Use the console until battery dies;
2nd: connect it to the charger, but this will also start up Switch, while its charging maintain power button pressed for a few time until it completely turns OFF;
3rd: let it charge for like 6 hours;
4th: the console must report 100% battery, if not let it continue charging, if it doesnt reach 100% do the first steps again until you turn the console ON and states 100%;
5th: use the console to around 90% then charge it again for like 1 hour, then just use it.

This is the procedure from Nvidia to my Nvidia Shield Tablet, might also work on the Switch.

ps: something might be wrong on your switch, maybe you shorted something wrong when you tried the exploits or could be the exploits?????

Charging with console on or off?

Dont work...
On 30% Switch turned off

..

If you accidentally grounded your 5v pin on your switch you may have killed a battery cell.

If so then the battery charging circuit inside the Switch would deny charging it at all

Hello

Thanks for all your Help but nothing Works.

Now the Switch turn off when he is on 40%

I send it to repair...

just as a general question, does it still play for the normal ammount of time, like if you play zelda, does it still last 2-3 hours, or is it down to like an hour and a bit?

A Hour and a Bit ...
Why?

A Hour and a Bit ...
Why?

because that means its not a display error problem. somethings wrong with the battery or whatever setting decides when to shut down the system at low battery level.
if you booted the switch into linux, maybe some kind of energy saving setting managed to be applied to the system somehow? like switch into power save mode at X% and the switch really doesn't have that so it shuts off?

That doesn't make sense. You can't apply "settings" from Linux. Horizon is a different OS altogether which does not honor Linux settings.

i mean, i kinda guess thats true and it'd be what i'd think, but another user reported similar issues after crashing in linux and energy options are kind of weird across devices

My switch turned off while i dumped the nand at 23%. However i was able to use it normally afterwards

I can confirm that I have the same problem the switch turns off on me when it's down to 55%. I fucked up the mod on one joycon (I tried to do it by bending the pin) which may have resulted in something being shortened :/

(Also on latest firmware)

This sounds like something that I may have accidentally done :/

Do you know of any way to confirm this before I go and buy a battery-replacement?

 

[MatMaf]

which is?

5.0.2

Try without the right joycon attached, check your pins inside the rail, and try doing a cold boot by holding power button for 10 seconds, plug it in, let it charge all the way, and see if it happens again. Replacing battery may void warranty.

 

[jakibaki]

First of all thank you very much for your reply

Try without the right joycon attached

Already did that, the issue still happens without the joycon attached.

check your pins inside the rail

On the switch those are fine fortunately. I'm not using the joycon where I messed up the pins anymore but those weren't fine at all so they might very well have caused the issue.

and try doing a cold boot by holding power button for 10 seconds, plug it in, let it charge all the way, and see if it happens again

I tried that too with the same unfortunate result. It appears that the battery is really at fault and I ordered an replacement (The warranty on my switch is over already so I have nothing to loose).

I'll report back once my replacement arrives.

With 5V running through your system, other peripherals may be effected. If you plan on opening your switch anyway, you might as well pull the battery hold the power button for 15 seconds to let memory clear, and reconnect.

Yep, confirmed, once the battery dips below 50% after running Linux for a longer time it'll just shut off instantly, no warning or anything. Not sure how to fix this, recovery mode doesn't help either.

Could this be an issue with the latest updates? I don’t seem to be having any issues with the battery and I’ve run Linux many times so far. I’m on FW 4.1.0
