About this product
You're excited to buy a new Nintendo console — now, make sure to protect it. Geek Squad Protection enhances your manufacturer warranty and covers you for accidental damage.
If you accidentally damage your Nintendo Switch while handling it, no need to worry, it’s on us
Enjoy peace of mind knowing that you're covered if the unexpected happens.
No out-of-pocket costs for parts or labor
We take care of 100% of the costs of parts and labor for covered repairs and failures, with no hidden fees.
If the controller that came with your console stops working due to a covered failure, we'll replace it
Get a one-time replacement for the controller that was included in your original portable gaming console box.
If your battery won't hold a charge, we'll take care of it
Get a one-time replacement for your original, non-disposable battery (or product if it’s an integrated battery) if it fails to hold at least 80% of its original charge specifications.
If there's a hardware failure, we'll repair or replace your product
This could be a problem with an internal part, how the portable gaming console was manufactured or normal wear and tear. It could also be caused by dust, internal heat or humidity.
If your portable Nintendo Switch won’t turn on because of a power surge, count on us to make it right
You're covered if there's a power surge or fluctuation that damages your product. This includes a surge caused by a lightning strike.
If your screen has bad pixels or a shadow image, consider it handled
If you have at least three pixels that are always the same color or a ghost image that won't go away, we'll get your screen looking like new.

The 2 year geek squad plan was used within 4 months at no fault of ours. Nintendo switch quit turning on. (Had not been dropped, no accidents, etc.). Worried that since system failed we will continue to have problems can we purchase a new geek squad plan?
Answered by GeekSquadSupportHi there. Thanks for reaching out to us about this! I'm sorry you ran into an issue so early on. Even though that happened, we'll still support you if you run into any more issues. If at some point, we need to replace the device because it's having a lot of problems, we can then purchase a new protection plan. I hope this helps. If you have any further questions, please reach out to us at (800) GEEK-SQUAD or (800) 433-5778.
I purchased a geek squad protection plan when upon buying a brand new Samsung galaxy s10+ during the November 2019 black friday sale. I was told it covered everything including accidental damage and screen repair. They told me TODAY its $199 to fix...
Answered by GeekSquadSupportHi Jessica. Thank you for reaching out about this. The Geek Squad Protection plan, like other retailers, will have a deductible to get the unit replaced. With a phone, we don't charge that to repair it. Instead, you would be getting a new phone of the same model. I hope this clarifies a little bit. If you have any more questions, please connect with us!
