Nintendo switch can't be fully charged

[Darkdialga6]

Hello, i have a problem with my nintendo switch. It can't be charged more than 30%. And in hekate, it shows under battery info that the temperature status is hot. What's the cause of this issue? And what can i do to fix it?

Best regards

Does it boot to OFW or CFW normal? what symbol(charge lightning or Xross) shows on the battery logo when plug in charger?

Hi, thanks for your reply.
Yes, it can boot normal to OFW and CFW. When plugged in a charger it shows this.

maybe time for a new battery

Thanks for the tip. I will order a new battery and then i will test it again.
I have already replaced the usb c port on this console. Replacing the battery would be one of the easier repairs.

its weird on Hekate you have charger plugged in/connected but the status said not charging. It maid me feel like something wrong on the M92 or FUEL gauge ic

Yes, it is weird. The Bq24193 or M92t36 chip could need a replacement..

Hm, now this nintendo switch doesn't show any signs of charging anymore. I don't know what's wrong with it. xD

I checked the usb c port with a multimeter and i found a pin which has no good contact to the pad. And another one just has 'OL' reading. Maybe that's the problem and i only need to fix that. The other readings of the usb c port are ok.

I could try to fix the one bad soldered pin with just a soldering iron.
But i don't know what i can do to fix the one pin with 'OL' reading. Maybe it's a short with the charging chips. But i am not sure.

I already switched mainboard and the battery is charging fine with the new board. So my battery is not the problem.

OL means no connection (OL=Overload, or in other words, the resistance is too high to measure/infinite)

check this post and see if you find your "OL" pin is not as the picture shown there.

Thanks. Those diagrams are helpful. the OL reading is not normal, it should has a reading. (It is the 5th pin on the usb c port from left to right which shows me OL reading. And the 7th pin from left to right isn't well connected in my case.)

The 7th pin on my usb c port from left to right shows me the OL reading too but when i put a little pressure with the multimeter on the pin, it shows me a reading, so i know that the 7th pin is just bad soldered haha.
