Expert Nintendo Switch & Switch Lite Charging Port Repair UK
Is your Nintendo console no longer charging, or does it refuse to dock to the TV? The USB-C port on a Switch is a complex 24-pin component that handles high-voltage power delivery and DisplayPort video signals. When these pins become bent or bridged, it can prevent charging or even cause a short circuit on the logic board. At Atlantis, we provide a specialised Nintendo Switch charging port repair for the V1, V2, OLED, and Lite models for a fixed price of £80.00. Our senior engineers utilise professional micro-soldering equipment to remove the failed port and install a brand-new, high-quality USB-C assembly. Whether you visit our Canterbury console repair hub or use our free nationwide postal service, we provide a precision fix that follows Nintendo technical hardware standards.
