Switch Original Power IC

The M92T36 Original Power IC is the critical component responsible for USB Type-C Power Delivery (PD) negotiation within the Nintendo Switch ecosystem. This 40-pin QFN-40 package chip, measuring exactly 5.0 mm x 5.0 mm x 0.8 mm, facilitates the complex communication between the console and the power source to trigger the 15V high-voltage mode. Engineered to manage the 39W maximum handled by the official PD system, it regulates charge current and voltage within a precise 1.5A to 2.1A range. This IC is essential for stage-based power rail enablement and serves as the primary battery protection circuitry interface.

Designed for universal application across the entire range of handheld consoles, this component is compatible with the Nintendo Switch V1 (HAC-001) and the battery-efficient V2 (HAC-001-01) models. It is also the correct replacement part for the Nintendo Switch Lite (HDH-001) and the Nintendo Switch OLED (HEG-001). Whether you are restoring a launch-day unit or a modern OLED revision, this IC provides the exact technical specifications required for system-wide power management and PD handshake communication.

Replacing this IC is the standard solution for several common power-related failures encountered during DIY repairs. It specifically addresses the notorious Error Code 2101-0001, which indicates a critical communication issue on the I2C bus. If your console remains on a black screen, refuses to power on, or exhibits slow charging (stuck at 0.48A or 5V instead of switching to 15V), the M92T36 is often the faulty component. It also resolves issues where the console only charges when the USB-C cable is inserted in one specific orientation or when a short circuit is detected on the capacitors surrounding the IC.

This original-specification IC ensures that your repair maintains the integrity of the console's power management system. Because this chip is highly sensitive to voltage spikes caused by poor-quality third-party docks or chargers, using a high-quality, reliable replacement is essential for long-term stability. The component features a bottom thermal pad for efficient heat dissipation and requires high-precision hot air rework due to the small 40-pin pitch. It is often replaced alongside the USB-C charging port to ensure a complete fix for power-related issues.

Restore your console's charging capabilities and resolve power delivery failures by ordering the Switch Original Power IC today. Ensure you have the necessary micro-soldering equipment ready for this precision repair to get your device back to full 15V fast-charging functionality.
