The symptoms
The console won't charge at all, or only charges when the cable sits at just the right angle. It doesn't recognize the dock, or the connection feels loose and wobbly. Sometimes it's dead entirely because the battery drained and can't take a charge. All of these usually trace back to one part: the USB-C charging port.
Why it happens
The USB-C port takes thousands of insertions over a console's life, and its tiny internal pins bend, wear, and break — especially on consoles that travel. Once pins are damaged, no cable will make reliable contact.
Why this repair needs a real bench
The Switch's charging port isn't a plug-in part — it's soldered directly to the motherboard with dozens of microscopic connection points. Replacing it properly is a microsoldering job done under magnification with hot-air rework equipment. That's exactly what our bench is built for, and it's why this repair is worth mailing in rather than attempting with a screwdriver kit.

Original, V2, Lite, or OLED — the repair is $69 flat with parts, labor, testing, and tracked return shipping included. Repaired within 48 hours of arriving at our Virginia bench. Your games and saves stay untouched: we never wipe or access your data for a port repair.
