Nintendo Switch Joy Con No Charge Not Charging No Fan Overheats Fix REPAIR

Nintendo Switch has a fault that makes the fan stop spinning and the joy cons to not charge while connected to the switch.

I am not an expert and my videos are unedited but maybe this will help out a few of my fellow techs, at the very least it will give you a good chuckle.

You’re a lifesaver! This had been happening for two years and I had just accepted that my Switch was crap. I never imagined that the overheating issue and the joycon charging issue were related. Thank you so much.

This video helps to this day. If your fan isn't turning on, even when replaced, and joycons aren't charging while railed, definitely try this.

Man, you are totally awesome, it took me two days and several disassembly and cleans until I found your video. I had the same problem and it is now solved. Thank you!

After replacing the fan I was at the end of my patients and ideas of what could be wrong .. thank you so much .. fan is now working, overheating has stopped and remotes are charging.. you are a legend my friend

[ryanahrens]

Awesome job. Removing the diode worked like a charm to get the controllers charging and fan working again.

You legend. I’ve literally tried everything else and nothing worked. Did this and it’s resolved everything. Amazing! Thank you

Thanks so much! Was a bit hesitant to remove diode at first but the fan works completely fine now because of it.

Thank you so much You just made my daughters Christmas present that I brought and didn’t find out it wasn’t working till we opened it symptoms of overheating joy con not charging and fan not working then I found your video it has been a saviour thank you

[ninge]

Well it worked for me same issue as you video is..just flicked it off everything works..thanks mate..your the man😀

[chriswilson]

Mate this is awesome advice, litterally just finished taking mine apart to resolve this issue with my own switch. At first I was like, wheres this diode?? Its soo small compared to the one in the video but then realised yours is magnified 😂 but popped the diode off, put it all back together and boooom joycons now charging and fans running again! Massive thanks man!!!

[diegoauron]

Thanks a lot man, this helped me fix my Switch!

[varneth]

Thank you soo much for this vid. Saved me to change switch. I only have the problem that sometimes joycons disconnect and stop working and have to reconnect them.

[espiidii]

this is a god sent video . I had the same exact issue, replaced the fan and it still did not kick on and the joy cons would not charge/pair. I hesitantly removed this diode and it fixed all the problems.

Wish you best of luck. Good video. You should definently have more viewers.

[danspaller]

This is soooo awesome 👍. I still put a new fan in it just to rule out that and removed the diode. Works like a

...Thanks ! I was able to fix my Switch Fan and Joycon charging issue, you're awesome!!!

[penleychan]

Thank you! Lifesaver, brought a used switch to replace motherboard was wondering why the fan not working.

[robertocespedes]

Helped fix my daughters switch 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽thank you

[Matsu]

Thank you so much!

I thought my switch's fan was broken and replaced it, but that didnt help... Almost ordered another one when i realized my joycons were not charging and being recognized anymore by my switch.
Google brought me here and im glad it did. I just took anti static tweezers and pushed the diode off... My Switch has been working flawlessly for the past few hours.
