Is your Nintendo Switch not turning on?Dear Utol (2025): Kilay is Life Episode 42 Don't freak out. It might just need a reset.
In the week since we got Nintendo's new console here at Mashable, I've come across a handful of instances where the Switch just wouldn't turn on. Didn't matter if it was in tablet mode or TV mode -- press the power button, no response.
SEE ALSO: Someone put the Nintendo Switch's battery to the testThe fix turned out to be easy: it needed a hard reset. The process is very simple, and similar to what you'd do to reset other electronics.
Press and hold the power button for 15 seconds, then release
Press the power button normally once
That's all it takes. I've run into this with our Switch twice now, and I spoke with two colleagues who both had the same issue as well. The reset fixed it in all cases.
Both times this happened with Mashable's Switch it seemed to get stuck in sleep mode -- which is the console's default "not in use" state. I tried to turn it on after stepping away but got no response. If the same happens to you, try this fix.
Like any game console or tablet, the Switch is just a highly specialized computer. Knowing how to perform a reset when the system starts acting funky is always a helpful first step.
Here's Nintendo's Switch support page if you're still having problems.
