How to FIX a Frozen / Seized Nintendo Switch

Hi, this video shows you how to fix a Nintendo Switch that has seized. The video shows my newphew's Switch which has frozen on Fortnite. It is unresponsive to any inputs. To get it working again you need to hold down the power button for approx. 12 seconds which will turn it off. You can then start it up again as normal.
Many thanks Vince

Thank you so much! My 13 year old daughter's screen froze and had a panic attack because she thought all of her animal crossing data was lost. Literally a life saver!

This video deserves more recognition for helping people with their Switch systems and for calming them down.
