Nintendo Switch is now owned by many people.

With numerous software titles on the market, it is overwhelmingly popular among both children and adults.

However, because it is a portable console, the risk of breakage is inevitably high.

My son/daughter's Switch stopped turning on and they started crying.

I had hundreds of hours of game data on my Switch and it broke..." and so on.

There must be many people around you who have had their Switch broken.

Here are some tips on how to repair your Switch.

There are two ways to repair a broken Nintendo Switch.

When your Switch breaks, there are two main repair methods.

Repair by the manufacturer (authorized store)

Repair stores specializing in Switch repair (non-authorized stores)

The advantages and disadvantages of these two repair methods are as follows.

In the case of requesting repair from the manufacturer

The manufacturer here is Nintendo.

The following are the advantages and disadvantages of having a repair performed by the manufacturer.

＜Advantages

The product warranty allows for free repair within one year of purchase.

In case of natural failure under normal use

Even if it is not covered by the warranty, it can be repaired at a relatively reasonable price.

Repairs can be done at a relatively reasonable price even if out of warranty.

＜Demerits

Repair may take up to 10 to 14 days.

Data may be lost depending on the nature of the repair (initialization of the device). (Data may be lost depending on the repair.)

Mainly, symptoms such as "cannot be turned on," "submerged in water," and "error code" will result in "board replacement" by the manufacturer, which will basically result in the loss of saved data.

The SD card does not store saved data on the main unit, and all saved data is stored on the main unit.

When requesting a repair store that specializes in Switch repair

There are many repair stores nationwide that specialize in Switch repair.

Here are some of the advantages and disadvantages of using Game Doctor as an example.

<Merits

Repair time is short. Repairs can be completed in as little as one day or as long as five days.

Basically, the game data can be repaired without changing.

In addition to the usual repairs such as LCD replacement, game slot replacement, fan replacement, etc., even in the case of "no power", "submerged", or "error code", which would result in loss of data if repaired by the manufacturer, the repair is performed by "circuit board repair", so all saved data can be repaired with no loss of data. In this case, all saved data can be repaired with the data intact.

<Disadvantages

The manufacturer's warranty cannot be used, so free repair within the warranty period is not possible.

・If the repair is done outside of the manufacturer, the manufacturer's repair warranty may not be available.

This is an advantage of specialized repair stores. With regard to repairing the device with the save data intact, circuit board repair requires very advanced repair techniques.

There are many repair stores that can repair the Switch, but few can handle circuit board repair, and Game Doctor is one of the few stores with such advanced technology.
