Nintendo Switch Orange Screen explained and how to fix

The Nintendo Switch is a reliable console in the main (aside from Joy-Con drift), but like any device, it occasionally encounters issues. One particularly alarming problem is the “orange screen” issue, where the screen displays a solid orange color and the console becomes unresponsive. Here, we’ll be providing an explanation of what causes this issue and some potential fixes to help you get your Switch back in working order. What is the Nintendo Switch orange screen problem? The orange screen occurs when the Nintendo Switch’s operating system encounters a critical error, usually related to software or hardware malfunctions. While rare, this issue is reported more frequently on the OLED model of the Switch, though it can certainly affect other models as well. When this happens the console displays a solid orange screen, inputs on the Joy-Cons or the console itself do not work, and the system becomes unresponsive appearing to be completely frozen. The exact cause of the orange screen isn’t fully understood, not even be Nintendo itself, but there are a few common theories: Firmware corruption: A corrupted system update or software glitch may trigger the orange screen. Hardware issues: Problems with internal components, such as the GPU or memory, could cause this error. Overheating: If the system gets too hot, it might lead to a temporary malfunction resulting in the orange screen. Standby mode glitch: Some have reported the issue occurring after the console has been left in standby mode for extended periods. Possible fixes for the Nintendo Switch orange screen issue If you encounter the orange screen, don’t panic.
