    Nintendo Switch : Charging only in standby mode

    Hello,

    This Switch will eventually drive me crazy …

    It only switches to standby mode and refuses to take charge once it is on.

    If I plug it in on, nothing happens until it goes into standby and there the charge is automatically triggered.

    So I changed the charging connector, the P13USB, the M92 as well as the BQ which normally manages the battery charge without more success.

    What do you think?

    Here is a link from a video that show my problem : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1gqP...ew?usp=sharing

    Thank you in advance and best wishes to all of you

    Re: Nintendo Switch : Charging only in standby mode

    I've heard mention of a fuel gauge IC that can cause issues when I was working on switches when I got started with this hobby. Don't know what that IC actually is so unfortunately I can't be of much more help there but hopefully it gives you something to research.
    Edit: a quick Google search says it's the MAX17050 IC.

      Nintendo Switch Oled - Joy con charging
      by tommy97
      Hi everyone,

      I'm having an issue with a Nintendo Switch OLED that suffered liquid damage. After a full cleanup and replacing the Joy-Con rails and joysticks, everything was working fine for about a week. However, now the Joy-Cons won't charge or connect again.

      I tested with a second set of Joy-Cons, and the issue persists. Measuring the voltage on the connector shows 3.7V instead of 5V, which I believe should be the correct value.

      Any insights or suggestions on what could be causing this?

      Nintendo Switch lite charging chip heats up and does not short circuit
      by fab13
      Hello everyone


      Small technical problem on a Nintendo Switch lite
      Here's what I noticed: the USB port has been damaged internally, with a short circuit on the power supply line to the small fuse.

      After replacing the USB connector, the short circuit went away and I can't see any other short circuit in the whole motherboard.

      When I charge the console, it seems to be charging: I get 15 volts and an amperage of 0.450 A.

      Then, after a while, the amperage increases to 1.1 A and the BQ24193 charging chip starts to heat up, as evidenced...

      Nintendo Switch-No Shorts and not charging
      by nebulink
      This is a strange one for me. I have a Nintendo switch that turned on initially. The BQ chip was getting very hot. I unplugged and tried a different battery in case there was a problem with them one that came with it. I was told that the battery had been swapped.

      After trying a new battery, the unit would not turn on.
      Ammeter shows 15v 0 amp draw.
      Tested around BG, P13 and M92. No shorts. Decided to swap out BG. Same result.
      Checked voltages around BG, M92 and Max 177050.
      Also checked Max 177621.
      Getting desperate, I changed M92. Nothing
      I changed...

      ASUS X54H laptop thinks it's always charging even with charger unplugged
      by flat-earther
      The charging indicator light on my ASUS X54H laptop is always on even when the charger is disconnected.

      Windows also shows ''Plugged in'' when charger is not connected.

      This problem started year ago gradually, when unplugging the charger the charging light took several seconds to disappear, then minutes, and now almost always on even when unplugged for an entire day.
      Strangely, before sometimes immediately when plugging in the charger the charging light went away, and later came back with it connected.
      If I let battery run out and say it has 3% Windows will...
