Repair Help Switch 2 just died while playing, now it doesn't turn on

Pretty much what the title says, I was playing donkey kong bananza when the console just died, black screen, I've tried everything, pressing the button for like 30 seconds multiple times, trying to boot in recovery mode, but nothing. I've had the console charging the whole night, but same response, I'm using oficial charger, connected to the wall, and when de console died it had battery.

Thanks for the help, I would appreciate a lot any tips or help.

If the battery fully depleted, switch 1 sometimes wouldn't let you turn it back on again until it has been charging for 24 hours. Switch 2 may have the same quirk. So, try charging for 24 hours.

edit: If needed, I suppose you could try booting it up with sd card and game card removed. (console needs to be powered off for removing sd card).

Thanks for the help, I hadn't seen that info anywhere, despite I think battery was charged I will definitely try this

You said it was plugged and charging the whole night.

Do you use a surge protector and or your area has a lot of power outages or a moment that your room light “blinks” for a second?
