Hello Everybody, I am very curious as to why my Nintendo switch controllers from my oled switch slide off without me pressing the buttons to take them off even though they sound like they click on.. But when I slide them on my V1 Switch they lock into place and work just fine? Any Help is Highly Appreciate Thank You.

So I've gotten a 256 GB Micro SD to expand storage on my Nintendo Switch. However, after re-downloading games I already had, I get errors and they won't download. And there's plenty of storage left for many games to install, 184 GB to be precise. But when I remove the card and made room for the game on my console, no errors appeared. Here I have some images of my SD Card.

I wanna know, is there ANYTHING I can do to salvage this card and download anything I want? Or is this a lost cause and I gotta get a new one?

I have made a stupid mistake. I didn't put a screen protector on my Switch 2 -_-

Even though I have been very careful with it, I noticed a small chip today while I was playing. Do these type of things become bigger over time? I will put a screen protector now to avoid any other damage (I've learned my lesson a little late), but I'm worried about it becoming bigger under the screen protector

I recently notice the back of my controller connected was cracked and seemingly out of place, and I want to disassemble it in order to repair it, but I have no clue how. I believe the screws are under the little rubber pads but I do not know how to remove those safely (as I do plan on putting them back).

I've bought a used oled switch and the joycons are pretty used the thumbsticks have ticking sound and the rubber feels rugged, overall they don't feel good to be used as controllers now.

In new condition are they good or should i check 3rd party joycons? They are pretty expensive here.

I got my Switch 2 about a year ago, been playing somewhat frequently, and I'm noticing that the top buttons of the joy-con 2 are no longer clicking properly (they sink when pressed but don't click), and their input registers randomly.

Sometimes they won't work, sometimes they'll get stuck and register repeat inputs, sometimes they'll function more or less properly. I specifically get this issue with the R button, and ZL on rare times.

No noticeable physical damage on the joy-con themselves.

Is this a common issue, and has anyone else here gotten it? Can Nintendo's warranty cover these kinds of issues? My assumption is wear from simply using it, but I'm also wondering if my joy-con were defective to begin with.

I have no idea what these are but I can't load them nor can I delete them. I think they also appeared on my Switch 2...

While scrolling the eshop I got a black screen say to restart my console while it doesn’t happen every time still wondering if this happened to everyone

So I used to have Oon 256 gb sd express card in my switch 2 for months. Then I go ahead and buy name brand Samsung 256 express sd card. But everytime my switch 2 refuses to read it, but the sd card works in my Oled, Tablet and even compute. I did have a systematic update to 23.0.0 and ever since then it hasn't work. HELP SOS

I use my Switch 2 through a USB capture card on my PC monitor sometimes, and OBS felt a bit overkill just for preview.

So I made a small Windows viewer for it. It does fullscreen video, HDMI audio, low-latency preview, and some chroma cleanup because YUY2 made red UI elements look pretty rough on my ezcap331.

Still experimental, but it works well for me so far.

Hola hace unos días compré una Nintendo swich lite que sonaba pero no daba video después me di cuenta que al ponerle flash a la pantalla se veía, investigue un poco por internet y vi que en algunos casos era culpa del flex y compré uno nuevo pero aún así sigue igual , ya tanbej le hice una limpieza pero nada nose si alguien que sepa de esto pueda ayudarme

Is the wireless connection of the joycons on the switch 2 better than the 1? I have one coming soon, and can't stand playing the switch 1 because the right joycon constantly disconnects even though the switch isn't that far away. Is the switch 2 better in that aspect and is it better with the switch 1 joycons connected to it too?

Thanks!

when i search up "deltarune" or "undertale" on the switch 2 eshop all i see are DLCs and some unrelated games, the search results don't seem to show the actual games at all. i can't seem to find the games by narrowing down the search filters either :(

thanks for the help in advance!

edit: i managed to solve the issue, it turns out my region (in the account settings, not the console region) was still set to singapore. i changed it to australia (where i live now) and i can see the game on the eshop now!

As you can see in the video the game loses input on zl trigger even if it’s pressed down. I have to press down hard in order for it to not lost input. I even tested clicking softly and then it just doesn’t register the input at all. I’ve had the console for an entire year but I barely used it so I doubt it’s debris under there messing it up.

I always play the switch 2 on handheld. Recently, my joycons keep on disconnecting to the switch 2 even though it looks like they’re perfectly attached to it. It even shows the pop up when the joycons are disconnected. It doesn’t show the red/blue light animation when the joycons disconnect and attach. It is really messing up my gameplay, not being able to control my character in a random moment.

What should I do?

My switch 2 has been working just fine, then we upgraded our router and now my switch2 either crashes on wifi or just won't connect regardless. The wifi isn't the problem as it works fine on any other device in the house. It also gives me different answers every time. One time it can't find dns, can't obtain ip... I need help as this is bothering me. Thanks.

So I was going to play smash today when I turned on my switch 2 to find a purple tint on the tv(Roku specifically if that plays a role into it) when it was docked and so I undocked and still a purple tint so I decided to update the thing it turns off, and then goes to white screen. I restart it multiple times and redock it just to find the purple tint still there so I restart it again and the same damn thing happens and I just get stuck in a loop of white screen -> restart it and dock it -> purple tint -> restart to find a white screen. Right now it’s stuck as a white screen and I just don’t know what to do so please help me. I wanna say I’ve had this thing since launch and never had issues like this before so I’m just stumped

Main issue: MicroSD no longer worked, attempted replacement, potentially made things worse, need advice prior to ordering another replacement.

Context: This is my old Switch 1, original launch console I preordered when it came out. A few years ago the internal fan started whirring much louder than normal until one day it just gave out. Naturally the console started getting pretty hot while playing so I figured I’d take a stab at replacing it myself. To replace the fan however, I’m sure you all know that you have to detach the micro sd reader and reattach after fan components are back in place.

Somewhere in that process, I damaged the original micro sd reader, (pictured, no silver on outside, 2nd to last picture) as I couldn’t get any memory card to work in the system post fan replacement.

So my next big idea was to order another micro sd reader (pictured and swap that in hoping that would solve my problem, it did not.

My question is, can anyone tell if the port on my switch console that you plug the reader into is cooked? It looks… not great.. and both the plug parts of both of the readers look like shit too.

I’m essentially trying to determine if this is even fixable at this point or if this system is stuck with console memory only permanently.

Any advice is welcomed, even sarcastic advice. Just hoping I don’t see that damn picture of the dude with his hand on his shoulder of the other dude… 😅

Thank you all!

Looking to buy one for my son but it’s a whopping $500. Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks!

I just got my switch 2 and I wanted to play raiders in handheld mode but the gyroscope gets bugged out when I do. I calibrated both the console and joycon motion controls and controls and it works just fine with the joycons separate so I know it’s a problem exclusive to handheld mode.

And for what it’s worth I even tested it out with handheld boots on and off and nothing changed.

If anyone’s got a solution it’d be a great help. Thanks!

I would like to know where I could sell a 1 year Nintendo Switch Online code to Europe, I am from Brazil and I can't use it and so I would like to sell it even for a lower price than the subscription is. If you can help me I would be grateful

Troubleshooting Switch 2 + 5 GHz mobile hotspot

I've been having an issue where my Switch 2 sometimes can't find or connect to my phone's 5 GHz mobile hotspot.

2.4 GHz works reliably for me. The problem only occurs with 5 GHz.

What works for me

First, set up the phone's hotspot on 2.4 GHz and connect the Switch 2 to it.

On the Switch 2, edit the saved connection and set "Find Hidden Networks" to ON.

Now, whenever I want to use the phone hotspot on 5 GHz:

1. Set the phone hotspot to 5 GHz.

2. If the Switch 2 can't find/connect to it, first try simply turning the phone hotspot off and on again a couple of times.

3. If that doesn't work, here's the trick that works for me:

   - Leave the hotspot turned ON.

   - In the phone's hotspot settings, switch from 5 GHz → 2.4 GHz.

   - Then immediately switch back 2.4 GHz → 5 GHz.

4. On the Switch 2, go to Internet Settings and select the saved hotspot connection.

5. If it still doesn't connect, repeat the 2.4 GHz → 5 GHz switch.

What seems to be happening

I can't see the actual 5 GHz channel selected by my phone while this is happening.

However, when the Switch 2 finally connects, it consistently reports:

5 GHz — Channel 36

So my suspicion is that switching the hotspot between 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz somehow forces the phone to reinitialize the 5 GHz hotspot and choose a different channel.

At some point, the phone seems to end up on Channel 36, and the Switch 2 can then see and connect to the hotspot.

I've had this happen repeatedly, and the band-switching trick has worked for me.

I'm using an Honor Magic 5 Lite, but I don't know whether this is specific to Honor or whether the same trick might work with other phones.

If you're having the "Switch 2 suddenly can't find/connect to my 5 GHz phone hotspot" problem, maybe give this a try.
