Why is my switch not turning on?

I recently took out my switch from a few months of not using it and its not working. If i fully turn the switch off by holding the power for 12 secs and turning it back on I can get the switch logo to show up but then it flashes a full charged battery icon in the top left then goes blank. I left it on the charger for a few hours to see if i could get a different result but still nothing after that battery icon.

Any help would be greatly apreciated!

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Replaced the battery in the switch and reinitialized it. Was working fine for alittle while but then got error code 2002-3539 when playing a game. Tried the check for corrupt data thing for the game and it says no corrupt data was found. The game was good job! if it matters.
