The model number of the Switch is N16P6, just under four years of use.

It will not turn on. The charging light goes on and when fully charged turns blue as expected but will not turn on.

I have pushed the on button in every which way and also in combination with the volume buttons. Will not turn on. It does not have a reset button.

I also opened the tablet to see if any disconnections or plain to see problems, nothing obvious.

So is there some easy solutions or is this Switch dead?

How does the motherboard just stops working from one day to the other? It was working just fine the day before, no drops or falls of the tablet, well taken care of.

Any ideas are appreciated.

    It is possible the button itself is being a problem. I believe you have one of the SW1-011 models. If you have a VOM you could ohm out the button to verify it's working or not. Motherboard failures are rare, but do happen, and when they happen they always work until they fail, then they don't work. Timing is just coincidence. :)
