Nintendo Switch No Power Repair – Saved After a Botched Repair Attempt
Customer Location: Hooksett, New Hampshire
This Nintendo Switch came to us from Hooksett, NH with a no-power issue, and unfortunately, it had already been through a previous repair attempt that went very wrong.
Upon inspection, we found extensive damage caused by the prior work. The M92 charging controller IC had ripped pads, making proper power management impossible, and the USB-C charge port had been poorly installed, with incorrect alignment and compromised solder joints. Issues like this often turn a straightforward repair into a much more advanced board-level recovery.
Our Repair Process
To properly restore this console, we had to undo the damage from the earlier repair and rebuild critical areas of the board:
Repaired damaged pads and traces associated with the M92 charging controller IC
Corrected the charge port installation and ensured proper mechanical and electrical alignment
Cleaned and reworked affected board areas to restore reliable power delivery
Verified correct communication between charging and power management components
This level of work requires precision micro-soldering and careful validation to make sure the repair is stable long-term—not just “temporarily working.”
Final Results
After completing the repairs, the Nintendo Switch was fully tested and working like new. The system now powers on normally, charges correctly, and functions exactly as intended.
Why This Repair Matters
Botched repair attempts are one of the most common reasons devices become “unrepairable.” In reality, many of these devices can be saved—but only with proper board-level diagnostics and experience.
If your Nintendo Switch (or any device) has been damaged by a previous repair attempt, don’t give up on it. Professional microsoldering can often bring it back from the brink.
