Number 6 is the Fuse.

"Hello,

I have recently experienced the same power issues with my Nintendo Switch. The switch stopped taking a charge randomly and now it is completely dead and will not take a charge. I went through all the self-help troubleshooting guides via Nintendo’s support site but to no avail. To send it out for repair to Nintendo costs $99 plus tax with a turnaround time of 1 1/2 to 2 weeks. Has anyone on this platform been successful in fixing this issue by taking another route other than sending it for repair to Nintendo? I am curious as I would love to repair this on my own. Also, I would like to know if parts are of equal value to what Nintendo charges. Knowing that will determine if I will send it in or repair it myself.

Thanks for the help!

What happens when you leave it running off the AC adapter/Dock? Does it deplete your battery? Is the system showing any decrease in battery levels when running in any modes?

"I'm sorry, I read your post again and I noticed it doesn't work when docked. My idea was to see whether it was outputting to HDMI, which would require proper power negotiation with the dock, function apparently handled by the M92T36 chip. Since this isn't working, I would say this chip is probably at fault, which also does not mean your BQ24193, which is the actual battery charging IC, is functioning properly either.

If I were you, I'd first order an M92T36 replacement and give it a try."

"Hello Nahuel,

Was the M92T36 the problem you have got?

Thanks,
