Re: Nintendo Switch component identification

I also plugged in the Battery of the other Switch and on Pin 1 I could measure for a short time 5V. I guess it has something to do with Slow/Fast charging. After a few seconds the Voltage was going down to 0V there.

That would also explain, why the Switch works fine on a 5V Supply, but not on the official Nintendo 15 Volt Supply.

Re: Nintendo Switch component identification

Thanks again for the replies,

i have disassembled a second defective Nintendo Switch which often freezes (i tried to reflow it in the past, ....it still freezes) but it should be okay for measurements. I have measured the voltages when charging a battery, and I measured resistance to ground in diode mode (positive to ground and neither battery or USB-C connected)

I mean i could use the part of the other Board, but as I dont know what caused the hole in the part, I would like to have a few replacement chips...

Re: Nintendo Switch component identification

Thanks for the reply Digby, but the Link is for the Switch Lite model. The Board Layout is different. And from what i could see in the Pictures, the Part i'm searching isn't on there.

Re: Nintendo Switch component identification

Thanks for the effort so far.
Yes the only thing i found so far was an Analog Devices DAC, but the Pinout is wrong, and I cannot believe that it would be a DAC.

Hi there,

I have been using this forum since a long time, and i could always find help by just searching the existing threads for informations. It seems like this is a great and helpful community.
However, i coundn't find info anywhere on this particular problem i have right now.
My Nintendo Switch works fine, until i plug in the official charger, then the switch itself charges, but the controllers and the Fan stops working/charging. It still works with a Regular 5 Volt Charger. So i guess it has something to do with the Step Down line from 15 Volts to the Voltage...
