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

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

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

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!!!

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

You’re a legend, 3 fucking years later and you saved me a lot of headache. Worked immediately as soon as I removed the diode

that thing was tinny!!! thank u foreal cant believe only 13k views on this so many problably have this problem

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

Thanks friend, I had 2 consoles with that flaw and I couldn't find a solution. greetings from Chile

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

You are a LEGEND!

Thank you, worked as explained.

This save my sons switch!! Thank you so much!!!

Thanks you bro. You saved my day.. 😁

Wooww thanks a lot this video really helped me alot, I had an original nintendo switch with an issue with the fan, and controllers not charging, removed the diode and everything working fine!

Thank you for sharing this

thank you so much this is amazing!!

Very Helpful 👍

Thank you very much ! I love you !!!

Thanks that was very helpful

Taking the diode off worked for me also thanks for the video

on many revisions of the board , this diode is even not present . its probably here for protection of the TPS54560 (DC-DC converter which take the 16v and changed it to 5V)

the diode went flying somewhere when I flicked it off and I will not look for the bitch, fan and joycons work now 👍

YOU ARE A SWITCH SAVER THANK YOU! Do you think we could just go by without replacing the diode?

I did this too with my Switch back in the Winter, removing the diode and now the fan works.

Bro thank you very much its working

Good stuff👍🏻

Thank's so much!!!

Video is a savior. But I have a bad fan so time to go buy a new one. It’s not seized but when I unplugged it and put joy con in they paired and started charging.

Good Information thank you

Thank you very much, it worked great for me. Greetings from cd juarex mx

thanks so much!!!!! lifesaver

Thank you

muchas gracias me funciono con la switch 1.1

From France: It WORKS!!!!! Thank you so much putain.

Hi I have the exact same issue should I just take out that diode? It won't affect anything else right?

Ciao iscritto + Super like 20 + campanella, bellissimo video un saluto grande da Roma ciao.

hey bro my ps4 beeps once and won't start also there's no blue light eject button beeps 3 time is this a power supply issu

What an awesome video. Sorry for the late question, is it possible to use any diode or do I have to use the same type of diode? I am having the same issue and sadly don't have a donor board

Thanks👍👍👍👍👍

Hi! i have a switch that doesn't have the diod but I have the same problem, if i disconnect the fan joy-cons charges, may I change the fan?

thanks man.

so question , if i remove the diode do i need to replace it? you said you were replacing it at the end. what does it do?

I have this exact problem, but my Switch is Oct. 2020 model, I've taken it apart, and I can't see the diode you refer to. Maybe they upgraded the board? Any ideas what I can do to get my Joycon charging again please?

Yo dude, amazing video. Maybe I'm a bit late and you're not replying anymore but.. It seems like my switch doesn't have the diode and it's odd cause my switch is really old. It's the hackable version. Removing the fan solved the problem and joycons were recognized and started charging. Do you think if changing the fan would solve the problem? Can you confirm if older versions like mine shouldn't have a diode? Thanks again for the video.

hi Maybe you can help me i have problem with my nintendo switch it do not recognize right joycon i already checked flex cable and connector also joy was tested, i see on some forums what need to change smd part with mark PU but i dont have donor board for this and cant find original name of this part Left joy cone is ok

I’ve have so many problems with my switch and I’ve done nothing to it I feel like I got ripped off a unfinished product

So only my left joycon won't connect/charge. Is this a common problem when the release button has been damaged?

it can solve the problem of the power button that doesn't work anymore? thanks

I have same problem no fan right joycon not charging. My switch didn't have the part (diode?)you pulled out any ideas?.......

Why do you think this short happens? Is it because of third party chargers? Just random luck? Is it really ok not to replace the diode? Cause I don't have the skills to solder but just knocking it off seems simple enough.

Hello i have the same problem. The fan not working and the joycons dont charge. Your suggestion are eliminate the diode? I'll waiting your answer. Thanks.

Number 1

I can't seem to get my right joycon to charge. like I turn it off clean it re syce it and sometimes I could get it to charge for a little bit. then it stops soon after. it goes green then black then red. but most of the time it doesn't really respond like it will show it's connected to the system but it won't show it's charging just the red bar on the battery symbol. then I got to unconnected it and reconnected it over and over again and if i get really really lucky. I could get it to hold the charge and stay charging so it's not completely broken but it's pretty bad and I don't know what to do to fix it it's a real pain.

I have the same issue, but there is no diode there. the short is still present on my board in the same place though. i have followed the traces but cant seem to find the cause. any suggestions?

im having the same problem but my board has no diode, would you know what would be causing the problem? would it just be a faulty fan?

mine just don't charge the right joycon, the left one is fine, what could it be? i cleaned the contacts rubbing isopropil alcohol my switch is from 2017 but the joycons are from 2021, they got replaced for free because of drift

My switch was working fine until I needed to replace the fan, which I had no problem doing. However, now the fan is running FULL all the time when in use. The fan even comes on periodically while sleeping! Any ideas? Would this fix it? I reapplied new thermal paste as well. I'm really frustrated!

Is there any easy way to remove without tiny tweezers or a microscop? I'm tryna use my phones camera and the plastic pry tool that came with the fan kit🤣

The fix worked but now the touch screen and cartridge reader isn't working. Any suggestions?

I’ve fixed the diode thing now but how do I remove stripped screws of the switch 😂💀

I have the same problem for my switch!

Do I reeeeeally need the diode?

Hmmm interesting my switch does not have a diode but it has the soldier on the pad I'm guessing that it was removed from when eb games refurbished it, but I have the issue I'm going to get the multimeter and have a look at what could be wrong maybe it is the fan I'll try that first thanks for the information it will help.😊

Hi, I was so happy to find a solution, but... suprise ! I Have a HAC-001 switch, but I don't have the diode on the motherboard ! The joycons do not charge, fan is not working... Any idea ? Thx very much !

Fucking legend

Is this work with nintendo switch V1 from 2k17?

Tell me a break or issue has happened to your joy con on your Nintendo switch OK

Can I send you my switch it joy con is dead and not connecting to my switch and not change

My switch has been fine for 6 years battery is still great and original but I have this issue

Im spanish, I get a second hand Nintendo Switch week ago. I didn't spend money on it, I basically changed it by a old laptop. The problem is that the switch not charge the joycons, first of all I thought that the problem was the joycons. I tried charge both joycons on my girlfriend's switch and there are okay, both charge correctly. So the problem is my switch. Anyone knows what's causing the problem? I have done replacements on some laptops before, but I don't know what's the part that cause the issue on the switch. I will be very glad if someone said me what part I need to buy for replace it. Thanks!! And sorry for my English, I tried explain it the best way. The console has overheating too, docked and handled mode, it shut down after few minutes, I will order new fan, thermal paste, new sliders for the console, and new battery. This was I posted on a lot of forums and no one helped me. OMG Im sure this fucking diode is the problem, I will try it when I get the order of the new battery and thermal paste. I was worried because I am good at fixing notebooks but at a basic level, I have not yet learned solder (I would like to buy the necessary equipment someday) but I saw u removing the diode with a tweezers and I think I can do it. Thanks a lot, I LOVE U Really, U ARE THE ONLY ONE THAT HELP ME, THANKS

Minecraft

fixed thanks
