Nintendo Switch 2 repairs
Charging ports, liquid damage and diagnostics on the Nintendo Switch 2, with screens quoted after assessment while parts supply settles. Board-level work done in house.
Repairs
Something is broken or worn out.
Cracked glass or a dead panel on the Switch 2. Priced after inspection while the parts supply on this generation settles — you get a real figure before anything starts.
Charges only at an angle, charges intermittently, or will not dock. The USB-C port is soldered to the board, so this is microscope work rather than a plug-in part.
What’s included in the price
- Replacement part — no hidden extras
- Fitting & labour by in-house technicians
- Full function test before handover
- Up to 12-month warranty
- Diagnostic fee credited towards this repair
- Your data stays untouched
Spilt on, dropped in, or caught in the rain. Do not charge it and do not try to power it on — that is what turns a recoverable console into a dead one.Note: the cleaning fee is paid whatever the outcome. Any repair that follows is quoted separately and only starts once you approve it.
What the cleaning fee covers
- Ultrasonic cleaning and corrosion treatment
- Full diagnostics once the board is clean
- An honest verdict on what is worth saving
- A firm price for any further repair before it starts
- No obligation to proceed
When the fault is not obvious. We test the console handheld and docked, open it where needed, and give you a written price to put it right.
What the assessment fee covers
- Full assessment by an in-house technician
- An honest verdict on what is wrong
- A firm price before any repair starts
- Fee credited towards the repair — you pay the balance of the quote
- No obligation to proceed
Know the fault, but don’t see it listed? Describe it and we’ll price it from your description — free, no device needed. Not sure what’s wrong? That’s what the Diagnostics Service above is for.

What Is It Doing?
Start with the symptom. On a console this new the first question is whether Nintendo should be doing it free — and we will tell you when the answer is yes.
Charges only at an angle
The port takes the same daily punishment it always did. Brought in now it is one repair; left running, it shorts and becomes two.
Cracked screen
Quoted after we see it. Parts for this generation are still settling and we price on the day.
Something got spilt on it
Do not charge it and do not power it on. Stripped, cleaned ultrasonically, then assessed.
Dead, even on the charger
Could be the cable, the port, the charging circuit or the battery. Four different bills, so it gets tested.
Handheld fine, docked not
Bring the dock as well. Half of these are the dock, and testing the pair costs nothing extra.
Still under warranty?
Then use it. If the fault looks like a manufacturing one we say so and take no money.
Errors, or odd behaviour
Intermittent faults have to be reproduced before they can be found. That is what the bench is for.
New port, still not charging
The charging chip went with the old port. That is the repair a port swap alone leaves behind.
A card or cartridge not read
Try another card first. If it is the reader, it is board work rather than a part you slot in.
None of these?
Rails, buttons, speakers, consoles other shops turned away. Describe it and we will tell you honestly what is possible.
A New Console, and What That Honestly Means
The Switch 2 is recent enough that the independent parts market for it is still forming. That changes what we can promise, so here is the straight version rather than the confident one.
In warranty? Use it
If the console is inside Nintendo’s warranty and the fault looks like a manufacturing one, we will tell you to go to them rather than take the job.
You see the price first
Diagnostics is £39 and comes off the bill when the repair goes ahead. You get the fault, the price and the timescale before anything is opened.
What we can do today
Charging ports, charging circuits, fuses and regulators — the same discipline as on every Switch before it, and it does not wait for a parts catalogue. Screens are quoted on the day, because panel supply is still moving.
What we will not pretend
If a part is not realistically available yet, you get told that instead of a deposit and an open-ended wait.
We diagnose before we quote, and quote before we touch anything. On this console more than any other, that includes telling you when the right answer is Nintendo rather than us.
Why the screen is quoted and not priced
Publishing a screen price means holding it. On a console this recent the independent supply of panels is still thin and the prices still move, so a number posted today would either be too high for most people or impossible to honour next month. Instead you send a photograph or bring it in, we tell you what the part costs on the day and what the work costs, and nothing starts until you have agreed to both.
The charging port has not changed its habits
Whatever else is new about this console, the USB-C port is still soldered flat to the mainboard and still gets plugged in, pulled out and dropped into a dock every day. It is the first thing to wear out on every Switch that came before, and it will be the first thing to wear out on this one. The warning sign is the same: a cable that only works held at an angle.
In warranty? Use it
We would rather send you back to Nintendo than take a job you should not be paying for. If the console is inside its warranty and the fault looks like a manufacturing one rather than a drop, a spill or ordinary wear, that is what we will tell you — and it costs you nothing to have asked. Accidental damage and out-of-warranty consoles are where we come in.
Charging Only at an Angle, or Been in Liquid? Stop Now
Two faults get materially more expensive every time the console is used.
-
1
A Port That Needs Holding
If the cable has to sit just so, the port is already loose on the board. Left running it shorts, and a short takes the charging chip with it.
-
2
Anything That Got Wet
Do not charge it and do not power it on to see whether it still works. Current through a wet board is what causes the damage that cannot be undone.
-
3
Bring the Whole Set
Console, charger, cable, the dock and a game. We test on your own kit — a good share of these turn out to be the charger or the dock rather than the console.
Neither fault fixes itself and neither stays the same size. If it still charges some of the time, that is the cheap moment to bring it in, not after it stops entirely.
Ways to Use Our Service
Two ways to get your Switch 2 repaired — bring it to Wimbledon, or post it from anywhere in the UK.
What We Do, How, and Why Us
What is genuinely repairable on this console today: the USB-C charging port, the charging circuit behind it, liquid damage, and the diagnosis that tells you which of those you have. Screens are quoted rather than priced while the parts market settles. One workshop in Wimbledon, and post-in from anywhere in the UK.
Diagnosis comes before a price, always. A console that will not charge can be the cable, the dock, the port, the charging chip or the battery, and those are five different bills — so it gets tested rather than guessed at. Bring the charger and the dock with it and we test the whole chain.
We also say no, and on a console this new we say it more often than usual. In warranty with a manufacturing fault, use the warranty. Part not realistically available yet, you get told rather than left waiting on a deposit. Joy-Con drift is a controller repair and we do not take it.
What Customers Say
Every repair carries a warranty. These are unedited reviews left on Google and Trustpilot.
Good to Know
The questions we are asked most about Switch 2 repairs.
Not answered here? Ask us — we reply the same working day.
Do you repair the Switch 2 yet?
Yes, for charging ports, charging circuits, liquid damage and diagnostics. Screens we assess and quote on the day rather than price up front, because independent panel supply this soon after release is still thin. Anything we cannot realistically get, you get told about instead of being asked for a deposit.
Why will you not give me a screen price over the phone?
Because we would have to guess, and a guess on this console is either too high for you or one we cannot honour when the part is ordered. Send a photograph or bring it in; you get a real figure that we hold, before anything starts.
My console is still under warranty. Should I come to you?
If the fault looks like a manufacturing one, no — use the warranty, and we will say so rather than take the job. Drops, spills and worn charging ports are not covered by any warranty, and those are the ones worth bringing to us.
It got wet. What do I do right now?
Do not charge it, do not power it on to check, and do not leave it in rice. What finishes a board is current running through wet traces, not the liquid itself. Get it to us and we strip it, clean the boards ultrasonically and treat the corrosion before anything is powered.
It works handheld but not in the dock. Is the console broken?
Not necessarily — docks fail more often than people expect. Bring both and we test the pair, which costs nothing extra and quite often ends with a dock repair rather than a console repair.
Can I post it to you?
Yes, from anywhere in the UK. Send the console with its charger, cable and the dock if you have one — we test on your own kit. Pack it in something rigid and send it tracked; everything comes back with it once it has been repaired and tested.
