Nintendo Switch USB-C Port Repair

Professional Nintendo Switch USB-C port repair for V1, V2, Lite and OLED consoles from StanTechFix in Peterborough, with local drop-off by appointment and UK-wide mail-in repair available.

If your Nintendo Switch will not charge, only charges when the cable is held at an angle, has a loose connector or has visible damage inside the USB-C port, this service covers professional replacement of the damaged port.

Common Symptoms

• Console will not charge

Important Diagnostic Information

Not every charging or docking fault is caused by the USB-C port. Charging-control components, USB protection circuitry, filters, the battery, board traces or the dock itself can cause similar symptoms.

If the USB-C port is not physically damaged and the cause has not been confirmed, purchase the Nintendo Switch Diagnostic Service first.

If another fault is discovered after the port has been replaced, we will explain our findings and provide a quotation before carrying out additional chargeable work. Additional board-level repairs are not included in this service.

Pricing

• Nintendo Switch V1/V2: £40

• Nintendo Switch Lite: £40

• Nintendo Switch OLED: £40

These prices assume the surrounding pads and traces are in repairable condition. Severe board damage, liquid damage or previous unsuccessful repair attempts may require a separate quotation.

Warranty

This repair includes a 90-day workmanship warranty covering the replacement USB-C port and related labour.

The warranty does not cover physical damage, liquid damage, further impact, customer tampering, damaged chargers or docks, or unrelated charging and motherboard faults.

Shipping and Identification

Customers are responsible for paying the cost of sending the console to us and creating their own shipping label.

Pack the console securely and send it to the repair address shown at the bottom of your invoice and in your order confirmation email. Include your name and order number inside the parcel.

Remove all game cards and microSD cards before sending the console. Please do not include Joy-Con controllers, docks, chargers or other accessories unless specifically requested.
