Same dude I was about to play Stardew Vally and it just froze and then went to a black screen lmao🙏😭
@@LuBloome oh no! Thank God this man helped!
The 15+ seconds holding down the power button worked so well!
2 years later and this video is still relevant! The hold for 15secs + tapping power did the trick. Thank you so much!
This man is a light saver I thought my switch was broken and I almost had to go to the store and get a new one and replace it but when I saw this video I I did not know if this was gonna work and I tried to and it did work by holding the power button and the volume button all at the same time and this is really helpful. Thank you.
I like people like you. Don't make things complicated, quick, and easy. Thanks for making this video. You saved many wallets lives 💰
I appreciate that!
@@GTRBytes one question wich techniqe works?
@@GTRBytes best
It honestly depends why it’s not charging. From what I gathered based off the comments, the button combos seem to work for everyone, especially the first one. It’s worth it to try all of them until one finally works.
@@GTRBytes ty but my switch joycons were conected to another switch
THIS IS AMAZING! I just signed for an esports team and was freaking out because my switch broke. You’re such a life saver!!!
The 15 second hold and tap is a great one to know as that is what got my Switch to turn back on. Thank you so much!
It’s hard
Thank you so much. Your tip to hold power button + volume button for 15 to 30 seconds worked for me. I have subscribed. 🙏🙏🙏
The holding down the power button then tapping it worked, I was worried I might have needed to send mine in to get repairs. I can't thank you enough.
Thank you for this video! My problem ended up being very simple and you didn't make me overthink it.
I was so worried cause it happened out of nowhere, but the 15 seconds and tap method worked. Thanks man
Don't know how, I followed every guide I could find and nothing worked until I plugged it into the TV and magically it decided to work! This guide helped a lot
Thank you! My Grandson’s Switch would not turn on at all after charging for several hours. It was the tip you gave on holding down the on button along with the up volume that made it start! I really appreciate this video!
That’s awesome to hear, glad the tip worked!
Thank you much! I got really worried when it didn't turn on, now I can go back to playing pokemon scarlet
That’s awesome to hear! TYSM for the super thanks! Appreciate the support!
Hiiiiii

You and me both I was freaking out so bad my anxiety I wanted to cry. I tried all of the buttons and I think the power button and the home button is what worked the most thank you for this video really helped.
Same
Same
Same bro
Button combo #1 worked for me on first try! I was really nervous that my Switch was dead! Thank you!
Genuinely thought my switch was broken for MONTHS, but it luckily wasn't, thanks for this tutorial man 🙏
Anytime, glad it helped!
I know right!
@@luvlybear. I thought my switch was broken because it wouldn't charge, when the issue was my switch charger itself didn't work
@@Inkerd00dle 🤣🤣🤣 Always chargers going out. They don't make them like they used to
@@brendajohnson5975 Fr, I have no idea why mine stopped working, I guess it just stopped working on its own, at least my phone charger can charge my switch
Saved my life!! Removing the joy-cons and press power botton for 15s+release+press again fixed the issue. Thank you so much!
Power and volume up worked for me. I never would have thought. Thank you!!!
Thank you so much I looked for hours of videos and none of them helped. You’re the one of them who helped thank you so much.
Thank you thank you thank you!! My son had burst into tears after we literally just left a place that said we had to pay $150-200 to fix our Nintendo switch... We watched this video and it came right on with 89% battery. You are the greatest 🎉🎉👏👏
That’s awesome to hear it worked!
Thank you! Holding the volume up, down and power button for 15 to 20 seconds worked for me!
same
This helped me out so much. I was stressing because I didn’t want to have to buy a new one and all new game. Life savers
Appreciate your input, home and power button for 15 secs worked
Thank you so much! My switch all of a sudden didn’t want to turn on and all I did was the 15-20 second power button the immediately tap. You saved me so much money in repairs, Thank You!
The 15 second hold then 1 second tap was a live saver! Thank you!

Glad to see the tips helped!
Nothing is working so if you find anything keep me posted😢😢😢
Nothing working for neither
I was so upset and preparing to send my Switch to Nintendo, but then I removed the joycons and held the power and volume up button for a while. After that I pressed power and it came on! Thank you so so much! You are a lifesaver!
Thank you! The 15 second hold plus tap was exactly the save I needed!

Other videos were basically saying to just buy a new one. I hope you’re extremely successful man
Thank you, I greatly appreciate that! Glad to see the tips fixed your nephew's switch.
The 15 second one Worked. Thank you so much I thought I was going to get in trouble for it not working
The second tip worked very well for me. Thank you very much.
You saved me a bunch of frustration, thank you! 😊
Thank you so much! It worked after cleaning and holding it down for 15 to 30 seconds! You rock
Like many others, the hold power for 15 sec then tap did the trick. Thank you!!!
That 15 second hold was a life saver, earned a sub.

Lmao, you had to take it into. A private room with a video camera. And strip it down, while playing with its ports and buttons.
Just like a gf when she refuses to talk to you. But still has needs.
Damn, nintendo... Youre such a dirty bitch at times. 🤣
I appreciate that, thank you!

Same! Life saver video
All was fine last night and today it decided it didn't want to turn on, thank you so much for that home + power button trick!
The first botton combination worked thank you so much
Held for 15 seconds + Long tap for 1 second. Did the trick. You're goated!

Appreciate this! Daughter had trouble charging the switch and it wasnt powering on after a grandparent tripped over the cable lol. Held button for 20 seconds and pressed again and to my surprise it worked and had 99% battery. Win win! Gave it a good clean as well and order has been restored thank you

Finally, a solution that worked for me! Before seeing this I had tried all the different button combinations I could think of, removing the sd card and all. Cleaned the charging port and removed the game card as well and it finally came back to life. Thought I was going to have to get it professionally repaired! Super helpful video!! Thanks a ton

Thanks a lot! The tutorial was very helpful.
I didn't use it for a year and now I can finally use it again. Thank you soo much!!
Holding power button + volume up + volume down combo for 15 seconds worked for me! Thank you!
Felt the need to say thank you very much for this video, i havent used my switch in about a year and was afraid something was really wrong with the battery when it wouldnt turn back on. the hard reset (holding down for 20 sec then tapping it once) helped me
The fifteen second tap on the power button worked for me thanks 🙏🙏 you gained a new sub :)

15 sec hold then another tap to the power button did the trick.
Thank you very much 🙏
Glad to see the tips helped! TYSM for your support and generous super thanks! I greatly appreciate!
:)
@@GTRBytesI just have a question… do you know why the switch didn’t turn on??
@@pandapandi9008 I'm guess it's because the charger was not the original Nintendo charger. Because i left it on the a (phone charger) for a day.
@@O-Alfa no but like I’m asking in general.. like mine did that and I wanted to know if it’s because it’s been 6 years since that switch came out
Thank you SO much! My switch is on it’s last leg, and I’m just hanging in here until the oled I ordered comes! I was so worried that it wouldn’t start up again, but thanks to this video, I got it to start up with no harm done! Thanks!
Glad I could help!
your button combo actually worked thank you so much!😊😊
TYSM!! The 2nd tip worked for me, I was also worried about losing my island on animal crossing for not turning on.
I highly recommend 15 second hold on to the power button. 😆
wow the hold down power button and vol down button really worked thank you so much
Thank you so much for this! I was so worried my switch was broken
Thank you so much, even after two years this video helped out so much, I changed the charger and removed the joy-cons and held down the power button and it worked in an instant, thank you so much
Anytime! Glad to see the tips are still helpful !
Dude thank you so much the holding it down and then tap worked for me you’re a life saver
