Which units this covers, and how to tell yours is one of them

Every answer below is scoped to these model identifiers. A neighbouring model in the same line can use a different part, a different reset sequence or a different radio, so matching the identifier before following a procedure is the step that decides whether the rest of the page applies to you.

Published specification

What is true of this model and changes how you fix it

These are the properties that decide which procedure applies. Each is read from the manufacturer’s own published figures for this model, not carried over from a sibling that shares its retail name.

Model — Switch revised (HAC-001(-01))
The 2019 revised standard Switch — same LCD screen and features as the launch model but with a more efficient chip giving noticeably longer battery life. 32GB storage, docks to TV (up to 1080p) and plays handheld/tabletop.
Storage — microSD expandable
32GB internal plus a microSD slot — expand with a card for storage-full.
Battery is the upgrade
The main difference from the launch model is battery life (roughly 4.5–9 hours vs 2.5–6.5). If comparing to a launch unit, longer runtime is expected, not a fault.

Exact questions

Questions that only have an answer for the Nintendo Switch revised model

Each answer below uses this model’s own published figures. The same question asked about a different model in the line has a different answer, which is why it is answered here rather than on a general page.

How do I tell my revised Switch from the launch model?+

The revised model's box and model number (HAC-001(-01), with the '-01') indicate the longer-battery version, and the box shows a red background around the console with a battery-life icon rather than the launch model's grey. In use, the giveaway is battery life — the revised model lasts noticeably longer on a charge. Both play the same games and dock the same way; the revision is mainly efficiency and battery.

Structured depth, not empty permutations

Every published record carries a direct answer, scope, ordered fixes, risk notes and sources.
