Nintendo Switch Repair in Bozeman — Charge Ports That Actually Get Fixed
A Switch lives a harder life than any other console. It rides in backpacks across the MSU campus, gets passed around on the bus, and gets plugged in and unplugged thousands of times. Eventually the USB-C port gives: charging only at an angle, then only with pressure, then not at all. That port is soldered to the motherboard — fixing it is micro-soldering work, and it's exactly what we do. Mail it from Bozeman; it comes back charging like new.

Switch repairs we cover
- Nintendo Switch USB-C Charge Port Repair — $129. One price for the original Switch, Switch Lite, and Switch OLED. We remove the worn port, clean the pads, and micro-solder a new connector — then verify charging, data, and dock video output before it ships home. Details on the nationalSwitch charging port repair page.
- Won't power on at all — quote-based. If a failed port took the charging IC with it, that's board-level micro-solderingwork with a $50 diagnostic credit applied to the repair. Free diagnosis sorts out which case you have.
PS5 or Xbox down too? Everything we fix for Bozeman is on theconsole repair hub.
How mail-in works for a Switch
- Submit the repair request online — pick your model (Switch, Lite, or OLED) and describe the symptom.
- We approve and email a packing slip plus a $40 deposit link; the deposit counts toward your $129.
- Ship it — a Switch fits in a small box, so postage from 59715 or 59718 is minimal. Console only; keep the dock and Joy-Con unless we ask.
- Free diagnosis, then a photo quote confirming it's the port (or telling you honestly if it isn't).
- We repair, test, and mail it back free with tracking.
The complete process is documented on How It Works.
Turnaround & warranty
Typically 2–3 business days on the bench once your deposit and console arrive, plus shipping. You get a 90-day warranty on the new port, free diagnosis up front, and photo proof of the finished solder work before you pay the balance. Handhelds get the same standard as everything else on the bench.
Students, parents, and everyone in Gallatin County
Half the Switches we see belong to students in the 59717 dorms; the other half belong to kids whose parents would rather spend $129 than $300 on a replacement. Both ship the same way. MSU students get {{STUDENT_DISCOUNT}}% off with a .edu email — mention it in your request. And a repaired console keeps every save file, which matters when someone's 200-hour game is on the line.
Switch repair in Bozeman — FAQ
Can I drop my Switch off somewhere in Bozeman?
Not yet — we’re a mail-in service today, and we’d rather say that plainly than imply a storefront that doesn’t exist. Local Bozeman drop-off is planned for 2027. For now, a padded envelope-sized box and any shipping counter in town is all it takes; a Switch ships cheap.
How do I know it’s the charge port and not the battery?
Classic port symptoms: the cable only charges at a certain angle, the connector feels loose or wobbly, or the console is completely dead but was fine before charging stopped. A worn battery fades gradually. Either way, diagnosis is free — we tell you what it actually is, with photos, before you decide.
Do you repair Switch Lite and Switch OLED?
Yes. Original Switch, Switch Lite, and Switch OLED all use board-mounted USB-C ports, and we replace them on all three for the same $129. The Lite’s smaller board just means more careful disassembly on our end, not a different price on yours.
Is a third-party dock what killed my port?
Sometimes. Certain off-brand docks have damaged Switch charging circuitry, but simple mechanical wear is far more common — thousands of insertions plus a few sideways yanks. During free diagnosis we check the charging IC as well as the port, so a deeper fault won’t sneak past.
How long is the turnaround from Bozeman?
Count on roughly a week and a half without your handheld: typically 2–3 business days on the bench once your deposit and console arrive, plus shipping each way. A dying port already keeps benching it mid-session anyway — this is the downtime that actually ends the problem, with tracking on the way back and a 90-day warranty.
Charge port worn out? $129, fixed properly.
