My charger for my switch is connecting to my laptop but not actually charging the switch, it works on other devices with the same charger, how is it connecting my switch to my laptop without being able to charge the switch? it doesn’t work when plug into a normal outlet either

    USB cables can get confusing when you factor in random chargers and devices with all different power requirements. IE a ‘big’ laptop vs a little switch.

    Your question though is weirdly worded and I’m having a hard time making sense of it.

    Probably shouldn’t be connecting your switch to your laptop to charge - it’s likely not going to have the power output your switch and battery are expecting and either won’t work or damage the battery over time.

    …but if you are saying your switch doesn’t work when you plug it into the wall charger that means either the charger is bad, the switches battery is bad , or the port on the switch is bad. Then it’s just about testing and confirming which is going on.
