Yep @YoTones is right, be the cheapest and easiest (if you don't have a meter or tech skills) place to start. I've seen them on ebay as low as $17

Which brand/model phone charger? Also, were you playing it and charging at the same time OR did you dock it with that charger?

I figured the problem was the charging port and I got figured out thanks for the help.

I know a guy who always uses his phone charger for Switch and it works fine. I also have used other chargers. Maybe send pic?
