Nintendo Switch USB-C Charging Port Repair
Full replacement of the USB-C charging port on Nintendo Switch, Switch Lite, and Switch OLED — using high-quality OEM ports in stock. (Have a Switch 2? Use this page instead.)
- This is a genuinely difficult repair — the solder pads sit hidden from view behind the port
- We’ve built and programmed custom tools for safe port removal without warping or burning the board
- We don’t use hot air stations for this repair — uneven heat risks ripping pads during removal
- We install a higher-quality port than Nintendo’s original for better long-term reliability
- Free courtesy service: while your console is open, we clean the system and apply fresh Arctic MX-6 thermal paste to the CPU
Other damage this may include
After hundreds of these repairs, we’ve found a damaged USB-C port sometimes takes out other nearby components too. The first step is always removing the port to clear any crossed pins. If we find additional damage, this can include replacing:
- Power chips
- Fuses, diodes, and other misc. components
If there’s more extensive power-related damage, we’ll contact you after diagnostics with details and any additional cost before proceeding. Liquid-damaged units are repairable too, but may carry additional cost.
What to include
Just your Switch console — no Joy-Cons (unless they need repair too), no charger or cables, we have those on hand. This saves you on shipping cost and weight.
Please double-check your own USB-C cable and dock for cracks or bent pins — include them only if you’re unsure of their condition.
Turnaround time
Typically 3–5 business days, though this can run longer depending on workload, part availability, and the extent of damage found.
