==Refusal of warranty==
On ''July 7th, 2025'', ''u/Basic_Strike'' reported on ''[https://www.reddit.com/r/consolerepair/ r/ConsoleRepair]'' that [[Nintendo]] refused to repair the device under warranty due to water damage within the unit.<ref name=":0" />

The user disclosed inside their post that they were playing on their [[Nintendo Switch|Nintendo Switch 2]] exclusively inside of their living room, and roughly after a week of owning the device, the console was entirely bricked, being unable to power on. They reported testing the device with an [[Anker]] battery, noticing that the device was still drawing between 0.7W and 1.5W of power. After following basic troubleshooting steps,{{Citation needed|reason=check comment}} the device was then sent to [[Nintendo]] under the expectation that they would be capable of taking advantage of the 1-year manufacturer warranty.
[[File:Switch2Corrosion.png|thumb|An example of what corrosion may look like on a [[Nintendo Switch|Switch 2]]]]
Instead, after the device was received by [[Nintendo]], they were informed that there was corrosion around the CPU and LCD caused by water damage, quoting a ¥35,000 (~$240 USD) repair bill.<nowiki> </nowiki>''u/Basic_Strike'' had to escalate this incident to 4 ''Nintendo Support'' agents, all telling them that they had to pay for the expensive repair, and additionally being vague about the corrosion, providing only the rough location of said corrosion and refusing to provide photos of the damage.
[[File:TranslatedNintendoRepairQuote.png|thumb|The machine-translated repair quote sent to ''u/Basic_Strike'']]
Instead of paying for the repairs, the user had to demand that the device should be returned unrepaired, and soon after received their originally damaged device and took a video of the unboxing,<ref>{{Cite web |last=Buttonmasher |date=Jul 13, 2025 |title=Unboxing my DEAD Switch 2 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7Z4sWJK2J8 |access-date=Jul 15, 2025 |website=[[YouTube]]}}</ref> providing a demonstration that the device does not function, and that it also does drain power.

==Consumer response==

Reaction from individuals within ''u/Basic_Strike''<nowiki/>'s [[Reddit]] posts<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1" /> have been generally negative towards Nintendo, while online coverage of the incident has been limited, only currently seeing a video from FritangaPlays.<ref>{{Cite web |last=FritangaPlays |date=Jul 15, 2025 |title=Nintendo REFUSES To Fix Switch 2 And BLAMES User |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Acl1ColeF_k |access-date=Jul 15, 2025 |website=[[YouTube]]}}</ref>
