Nintendo Switch AC Adapter Stopped Working - help needed please

If you have a usb c phone use the charger to plug phone in. It should slowly charge up.

If ur friends have a switch try that..

Buy one off amazon and try it and then return it as unsuitable cuz it worked and urs is broken

Thanks for your reply

I actually used the Switch on a friend's dock (as well as my own dock) this morning. I will ask him if his AC Adapter is working, that will help me figure out some of the issue

Sadly I cannot try charging my phone up with the Switch AC Adapter because using chargers that are not the official one will void the warranty and I have heard Google has a way to track that. I've already had to use the warranty once on my phone

I cannot use amazon because they shut my account down unfairly (I won't go into that and derail my own thread), but were you suggesting returning the one I already have if the new one works? I'm confused at that last paragraph

Thanks for your reply again I appreciate your help

It was actually using the phone cable on the switch. I doubt that a warranty will be void by using a different cable but that’s the choice.. ultimately it’s not working and you have cover so claim it or buy a new one for £20. It’s a replaceable part and needs replacing

I highly doubt it would void warranty unless it caused damage to charging port. If you inserted it for just a few seconds you can just say you inserted wrong cable by mistake I guess.

I've been told by Google before that even making a mistake would void it as the user has a responsibility to be careful, and that they can and do check, but I will just use the warranty I have for my Switch

Maybe Google is different. That is a very odd thing that they check. I know for certain that Samsung don't check. Haven't had to use any other manufacturer warranty though.

I'd rather not risk it for a biscuit as I do sometimes have to use Pixel phone warranty and whenever I do, the customer service is excellent as the phone has been used according to the manufacturer warranty terms and conditions. Who knows, they may just be saying that, but I'd rather not ignore what they said in case they aren't

Is it at all possible your friend had a non-working one and switched it for your working one. Just a thought.

Nope because we used both docks in the same room when we used both Switch consoles at the same time

My Switch all of a sudden works again with the official Switch AC adapter that came with it originally. Weird but I'm not complaining, just odd how it stops working then all of a sudden works again

Sounds to me that if you've moved/jogged cable it may have a break/short in it. The best way to tell would be a continuity check - or plug it in and (assuming you see a charging light/indicator) "wiggle" the cable to see if the light goes intermittent. Might answer your question.
