The Nintendo Switch 2 is powerful but still has some growing pains. While plenty of Switch 1 games are playable, not every title has worked on Nintendo’s new console. Fans are also disappointed that this new system still has the same analog sticks, which might lead to drift in the future.
One major disappointment has been the Switch 2’s charging display issue. Although it hasn’t affected everyone, the charging number on the console’s battery isn’t always accurate. This can lead to frustration when charging your console and wanting to play it on the go.
Luckily, there’s a handy way to fix this issue, though it’s still one that the system should have launched without.
How do you fix the Switch 2’s charging display?
Enter the Switch 2’s Recovert Mode, turn off the console, then turn it on again. That should be enough to fix this annoying issue.
Nintendo provided the solution to this issue, showing that they might have seen it coming. While this isn’t a great look for the company or console, fans can rest assured that a solution exists. This is why we feel the system has growing issues, and why some fans might want to wait for a revision or new model.
How do you enter the Switch 2’s Recovery Mode?
Follow these instructions:
- Turn your console off
- Press and hold the volume up (+) and volume down (-) while turning the system on
- When the Switch 2 turns on, keep the volume buttons held
- You will now be in Recovery Mode
Usually, entering this mode of the system is only for emergencies. It can fix potential viruses or other issues affecting your system’s performance. The charging display issue is one of those, so players can rest easy knowing there’s a solution.
Handheld play is still important to Switch 2 owners, so this charging display issue has been rightfully criticized. Expect the company to patch this out in the future. Hopefully, patient fans won’t encounter this issue when they finally pick this system up for themselves.
