Hardware Switch's Power Button Suddenly Stops Working

[WaffleRaccoon]

So one night, I was using my Switch and then the power button just suddenly stopped working. Pressing the Power Button does nothing. The way I turn off my Switch is holding down the Home Button and selecting Sleep Mode. When I want to turn on my Switch, I press the Home Button. It would be really appreciated if somebody gave me a fix for this.

The issue is fixed!

What I did was Restart my Switch.

Im having the same problem, but how did you restart your switch without using the power button?

If you are using RCM mode, you will have to inject a payload.

But first, I would have to turn off my switch, right?

if it's rebooted aka black screen and won't turn on probably not. If you inject, it'll tell you either RCM ready (ready for injection), or RCM not detected (it's turned off and you'll need to press the power button to turn it on and then inject a payload)

You can reboot the switch by changing its language.

I've had that issue with the powerbutton too once.
Seems to be a rather rare bug.
No Hardware issue afaict.
