Nintendo Switch Repair
Nintendo Switch Charging Port Replacement
The Nintendo Switch charges via USB-C, and the charging port is one of the most commonly damaged components — particularly on a device that's regularly docked and undocked. A Switch that won't charge when connected to the dock or an adapter needs prompt attention before the battery fully depletes.
At Mr Gadget in Rickmansworth we replace Nintendo Switch USB-C charging ports using precision micro-soldering equipment. The port is soldered directly to the motherboard, so this isn't a simple swap — it requires correct de-soldering technique, pad cleaning, and careful re-soldering of a replacement port with all pins aligned. We test both wired charging and dock connectivity after the repair. All work carries a 12-month warranty.
