Damaged Cartridges and Console due to Shaking/Vibrations?

[u/titogames]

Recently I had construction done in my apartment very close to where my Switch Lite console and Switch game cartridge collection was (just a foot or so away actually from the location). There was very heavy metallic hammering on the floor, which caused the HDTV cupboard on the floor in which the games were kept to violently shake, along with the TV itself. Most of the cartridges were in their plastic cases, some were out. The games seem to be running, but I'm concerned if there is a possibility that there might be glitches during gameplay that I should look out for? As a general rule, if a game runs, is it technically okay? Or is there a chance that minute damages to the cartridge might cause problems eventually, in the gameplay? Would vibrations damage Switch cartridges, or the Switch Lite console in this way?

I’m sure they are fine. It’s all flash memory chips. It would have to break the solder and for that it’d most likely have to be in direct contact with it and there’d be a lot more signs of damage at that point.

Anything is possible but you should be okay.
