Nintendo Swich won't power on, green light blinks once on dock

My younger brother was playing on it, it popped up with a screen telling him to "restart the system/ power off the system". He does that then it doesn't turn back on again. I've tried every method to get it to turn on including...

# Hard restaring it for 20 seconds

Charging it up with diffrent chargers including official one from nintendo.

I want a solution that doesn't have me replace it or getting rid of the save data. I have an SD card in it, but not all the data is stored on there. What should I do?

Good afternoon.

That's unfortunate. As a result of the proprietary screw type to enter, if you don't buy a kit from ifixit or elsewhere, you can't get in and check what exploded. As i always say, google first. Check the web to ensure you have exhausted all possible methods. If not, i wouldn't know what to do next. Get back to me if anything changes.

Dang, something exploded? Thanks for your input, heading to a repair shop soon to let them take a look at it also.

Not necessarily.

I’m just saying if something did you can’t check it over yourself.

Could be software corruption
