The Nintendo Switch 2 comes with a one -year limited guarantee that covers the cost of repairing unexpected faults, but any damage that falls outside this cover will cost you. Avoid this could be essential, because on the basis of the Nintendo customer repair portal, paying to repair a switch 2 is significantly more expensive than repairing an older switch.
Now prices could vary depending on how your switch 2 or its accessories is damaged. By simply looking at the repair of water damage specifically, here is how prices decompose:
-
Console: $ 179
-
Dock: $ 66
-
Camera: $ 30
-
AC adapter: $ 18
-
Pro controller: $ 48
By way of comparison, the fixing of a switch damaged by water costs $ 139, $ 40 less than it costs to repair a switch 2. The original switching station and the original professional controller cost $ 30 to repair, $ 33 and $ 18 cheaper, respectively. The only true aberrant value of the general trend of Switch 2 material costing more at the service is the joy-con controllers. That the stick feels loose or that the magnets do not fix, Nintendo is apparently ready to repair a joy-con controller 2 for free.
Perhaps the equipment modifies the company provided to improve the performance of the sticks also facilitated them repair. Or maybe free repairs are a kind of silent makeup for well-documented stick drift problems that tormented the original joy-cons controllers. Anyway, it is a small light point in what seems to be a potentially expensive repair process.
