Hi, I’ve not used my switch from weeks till today.
When I put it on charge it doesn’t turn on.
I know that switch has some kind of slow charge for first percentage of battery.

I’ve waited 3 hours and switch doesn’t send any signals.
Noticed that if I try to charge with dock, dock’s light turn on and off in a second. Like it’s not charging it.

Already tried to press and hold for ten seconds but no results.

do ya have autorcm?
If you had ARCM your battery might have died

Nope, I've not autoRCM. I solder a reed switch for turn RCM with a magnet.

Try plugging the charger in the switch itself incase your dock isn't working

Already done it. Right now Switch has been plugged in all night long with my macbook PRO charger.

hold Power for 15 seconds while it's charging then let it charges for 30 mins then try to turn it on

Already tried a lot of combination like this. No results at all but I'm going to try again.

Use Nintendos adapter. A normal USB-C doesn't really work. I use my OnePlus charger with the Switch it won't charge properly. Nintendo have done some voodoo shit with their production, so use the official charger.

All right. I'm going to try that.

What's really scares me is that green light which turn on and turn instantly off in a second. Has dock doesn't give battery, that's not good because dock has always worked.

UPDATE: I've disassembled Switch to plug out and plug in battery. So far any results at all.
Switch have been plugged to AC all night long.

When you unplugged the battery, did you press power for around 30secs to fully discarge before reconecting?
This helped me in similar situations.
Also try whith the joycons connected and disconnected.

    Today I learned that the creators of the Donkey Kong games also made Sea of Thieves
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    why do i feel the sudden urge to start singing pirate's scorn from the donkey kong country cartoon?
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Are you being for real, cause that's hard to believe, DK is Nintendo and made in japan, Sea of thieves was from Microsoft, in America. I'm not calling you a liar, just didn't know.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Ok yes they were both made by Rare, but DK was from Rare back then, Rare now is owned by MS. So makes since.
