When a Nintendo Switch console battery is completely drained to zero percent charge, it can take anywhere from thirty minutes to several hours of being plugged into an official USB-C Power Delivery charger before the screen lights up or indicates charging. A deeply depleted lithium-ion battery enters a low-voltage safety protection state, requiring a slow trickle charge before the internal power management chip allows the display to wake up. Attempting to turn it on immediately after plugging it in will often result in a flashing battery icon or no response at all. You can troubleshoot charging issues easily by using an official wall adapter. You can verify that your corrective action is successful when leaving the console undisturbed on the charger for an hour displays the charging symbol and successfully boots the system back to full operation.
