Liquid Was Spilled on the Nintendo Switch 2 Console

Help for when water or other liquid has been spilled on the Nintendo Switch 2 console.

What to do

  1. Immediately unplug and power off your console any time any liquid is spilled on it. As with any electrical appliance, there is a risk of electrical shock if it is used while wet.

    • How to power off a Nintendo Switch 2 console

      1. Press and hold the POWER Button for at least three seconds.

      2. Select Power Options.

      3. Select Power Off.

    • Liquid entered the console

      Liquid can easily cause damage to the inside of the console. We recommend sending your console for assessment, even if issues do not arise immediately.

  2. Clean the housing with a soft, dry cloth.

  3. Let the console air-dry for a few days.

    Important: Do not apply any type of heat to speed up the process (blow-dryers, heaters, microwave ovens, etc.), as this may cause damage to the console.

  4. Power on the console.

Situation not resolved

If the console isn't working after air-drying, it will need to be sent in for assessment.
