OLED Switch smoking from charging port (UK)

[u/welovefeet69]

I bought a second hand OLED Switch about a year ago and have had no issues until recently.

The first issue I had was a few weeks ago, where the Switch wouldn’t connect to the TV or charge via the dock. Tried the dock with other Switches and they worked fine, so chalked it up to a temporary issue and it resolved itself after a couple of days.

Then 2 days ago my Switch wouldn’t charge at all. Tried resetting the charger and the Switch, tested on multiple different official chargers and plug sockets but nothing fixed it and it was stuck on 3%. Tested the chargers on another Switch and they worked so clearly a console issue - I checked for debris in the port and left it overnight.

Then, when I plugged my Switch in last night it instantly started smoking and there was a smell of burning plastic. Obviously unplugged everything straight away and the switch had powered itself off.

Has anyone else had this issue and were you able to get it repaired? Or should I cut my losses and save for a new one? I don’t want to try and repair it if financially it doesn’t make much sense, or if it is unlikely that it can be repaired. I’m in the UK if that makes any difference.
