Running into an orange screen on your Nintendo Switch can be surprising. Let’s figure out how to get your gaming back on track!

So, you’re playing your favorite game and, out of nowhere, your screen turns orange. What do you do? Let’s dive in and solve this mystery.

Quick Fix for Orange Screen

The first thing to try is a hard reset. Hold down the power button for 12 seconds until the device turns off. Then, press the power button again to turn it back on. This often does the trick!

If a simple reset doesn’t fix the issue, you might need to consider if the console has any physical damage or if it’s been exposed to extreme temperatures. Both can cause screen discoloration.
