GammaDot Visit the Shpock website or download the application, which is available at no cost. Locate a “Nintendo Switch” that displays a clearly visible serial number positioned to the left of the USB connectors on the rear side. Initiate a conversation with Nintendo via their Live Chat or by phone, explaining that you purchased the console as a gift for your niece, but it is malfunctioning. Mention that you have not personally used it and that you were informed that providing the serial number could assist in resolving the issue. They will likely request the serial number; provide them with the one you identified in the Shpock listing. Continue the dialogue, and with persistence, they should arrange for a replacement unit to be sent to you.

Gurnixpsn Can confirm, this does not work. Nintendo will push to have you send your console in for repair and getting a new console is not an option.
