Nintendo has announced the new Switch 2 TM head strap! Now your little brother can be the controller.

mine sadly died recently so I've not been using it at all 😭

Mine decided it wanted to have a spicy pillow. I can see the backplate bulging a tad. It's been unplugged since December now.

[–] Luminous5481@anarchist.nexus 2 points 57 minutes ago

well at the very least you can still use it, just get that battery out.

Might be able to repair it depending in whats wrong

[–] Luminous5481@anarchist.nexus 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

ah, well it was charged up with a full battery and working and then it was just dead. won't come on again and the charging LED does not light up anymore despite different cords and adapters being tried. pretty sure it's a dead motherboard.

I think that's a relatively common issue that can be fixed by resetting the battery. I think it starts by loading it for a day even when the indicator isn't lighting up.

Look it up, I might be wrong.

The head mount would be useful for Work Time Fun emulation:
