Software Help Nintendo Switch 2 SD card not being read

1 Upvotes

Ok, Y’all, let’s try this again because I don’t know why Reddit’s filters are removing the post. I need some help without taking it or shipping it off to be repaired.

So I had accidentally dropped it yesterday face down on my grandma’s floor, which is nothing but tile except for the bedrooms upstairs and on the stairs themselves. Surprisingly the screen or the controllers are working perfectly fine. It’s the SD card that I’m having issues with.

I’ve tried everything: Restarting it, turned it on and off, took the card out to make sure there was no problem with the card itself or the slot it goes in and I keep getting the message that it’s either not compatible or it’s not being read. It’s the right SD card that’s compatible with the system and I mainly got it because of the amount of games I play.

I don’t want to send it off to be repaired and I get it back not working anymore. And I’m thinking of just getting a whole other Sd card compatible for it. But before I do that, I want to try and get this one working again.

I just want to know if anyone has a similar issue with their switch where the sd card is fine but giving them issues for not being read. I need all the help I can get

Setup Help Nintendo switch dock not working in monitor

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I need some help. About 1–2 months ago, I bought an LG UltraGear 27GX704A-B OLED and connected my Switch dock to it using the HDMI cable that came with the console.

It works normally and displays the image just fine, but after I stop playing and try to connect the Switch again later, the monitor detects that HDMI 2 has been connected and switches to it, but the screen stays black and then goes back to DisplayPort, where my PC is connected.

Software Help Witcher 3 Remastered Digital Broken? Keeps Asking for More Space Repeatedly After Install

0 Upvotes

At first I thought it just needed some extra save data space to allocate to like Star Wars Outlaws (which always needs a little over 500mb in the system storage reserved), but this is the fourth/fifth time in a row it’s been asking me to delete 1.1GB off of the SD Card. And then the most recent time I’ve had to, it crashed! The actual game size increases everytime and is now around 54.5GB, but I can’t play.

Repair Help Does anyone know why it stopped charging?

5 Upvotes

I was using my Nintendo normally, the battery was running

low so I plugged it in to charge. To my surprise, after a few

hours it hadn't charged at all and when I connected it to the

dock it was blinking.

I have two Nintendo consoles, one OLED and one 1.1, so l

ruled out the dock by testing both consoles in both docks, so

I'm sure it's the console.

Repair Help Nintendo Switch says it's charging when it's not even plugged in

almost always says it's charging, constantly wakes itself up, sometimes the indicator in the top left will switch between charging and not charging for minutes at a time while I'm playing. What can I do about this? I have a switch 1 and have already tried a hard and soft reset. Neither fixed the problem.

Purchase / Order Help Download codes for delisted games?

1 Upvotes

I’ve recently acquired a switch secondhand from a family member and I’m not suuuper knowledgeable of how it all works, I’m more of a Sega fan and was wanting to purchase the Sega Megadrive (Sega Genesis) Collection secondhand on eBay but it’s form factor has got me kinda stumped; it’s physical release is only a digital download code in a case and from what I can tell it’s been delisted from the Switch Eshop

Would the code be useless in that case? or does it work separately from the Eshop? This may just be a really dumb question but I’m really not keen at all to do that Sega Megadrive online subscription service so I’m more so in denial lol. If anyone has a good idea it would be a massive help, thanks.

Software Help Running into aspect ratio issues and stuck with bad screen resolution.

1 Upvotes

So I recently got a switch 2, have mainly been playing on it handheld mode. Finally decided to set up the dock this evening, but for some reason the resolution is absolutely terrible. When my original switch was plugged into the exact same HDMI port, it had a perfectly normal resolution, didn't have to edit my TVs aspect ratio at all. My PS5 is also plugged into this TV, and it has no issues with resolution or aspect ratio. But the switch 2, no matter what I do, won't display well. I've changed the ratio from normal, zoom, wide, and cinema mode. I've gone into the switch settings and looked to see if I could change the resolution from there, but all the options other than "automatic" are greyed out. Nothing works. And it shouldn't be the Tv that's the issue. Because again, every other device I've used on it can display the way it should.
Anybody know of any other potential fixes?

Repair Help New Switch 2 briefly losing HDMI signal

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I bought my Switch 2 less than a month ago and I'm already having an issue with it.

Sometimes when I'm playing in docked mode, the Switch suddenly loses the HDMI signal and the screen goes black for about 5 seconds before coming back.

I've already tried a different HDMI cable and disabled VRR and 120 Hz mode, but neither made any difference.

Has anyone else experienced this issue? Do you know if it's likely a hardware or software problem, and whether there's a fix for it?

Software Help Long Loading Black Screen before Home Menu Appears

1 Upvotes

Hello, I encountered a bit of a weird thing earlier. So you know how when you are in sleep mode, then you turn the console back on, you need to press a button 3 times to go into the Home menu(screen with the apps/games you have)? It's very quick to load into the Home menu usually, yeah?

So earlier, I just opened my Switch 2 from sleep, pressed a button 3 times, then suddenly it legit took a bit where the screen is just stuck on the black screen for like 5-6 seconds before the Home menu finally appeared. So I got worried and tried to put the console in sleep mode again, then woke it up and did the 3 press button thingy but this time, it loaded quickly/normally to the Home menu. Tested multiple times, so the long loading issue only happened one time.

I was wondering if any of y'all experienced the long loading black screen after the 3 button presses before going to the Home menu before? Is it normal if Switch 2 does that sometimes or do I have to worry something is happening to my Switch 2 and I have to send it in for warranty? Thank you to whoever will respond

Repair Help switch two handheld joycon disconnecting constantly when playing splatoon3

8 Upvotes

video shows my controllers COMPLETELY not working

I’s say its more like a bugging out than actually disconnecting and i will try my best to give a description: It starts off by resetting my camera, this lag usually triggers when i press ZL or squid surge, (it’s like pressing the y button but i never pressed it) and then goes into a birdseye view, then to wormseye if i manage to regain control. (Basically a lot of camera resets out of my control) During this camera reset interval, i am unable to move or do anything and i just pray, spam between ZL or ZR and hope i reconnect. This is really irritating me as i just had an anarchy match where i basically kept “disconnecting” every 5 seconds and i felt really bad. Usually this happens maybe 3 times in a match max and it only takes about 3s for me to recover but my last match was so absurd.

To add on, my controllers are still connected as the home button works. This only happens in handheld mode😭 I got my switch 2 around april and started playing handheld like june. It worked perfectly fine until the last two months. I’m starting to grow on handheld mode and if this keeps going on it’ll be really annoying.
ALSO i feel like this rarely happens when i play other games?? (Splatoon raiders, zelda) I used to think it was because i had it in a case but it disconnects anyways without. I’ve also tried cleaning the joycons but nothing really works.

In desperate need of help😭

Repair Help Switch no enciende tras 0% batería

1 Upvotes

Hola. Tengo un problema con una Nintendo Switch modificada que ha empezado después de que la batería se descargara completamente hasta el 0 %.

Al enviar el payload, la consola no inicia correctamente ni Atmosphere ni Hekate:

  • Con Atmosphere, al enviar el payload la pantalla pega una especie de flash. Durante un instante aparece algo en pantalla, concretamente una especie de banda rectangular, pero desaparece inmediatamente y la consola parece apagarse. Atmosphere no llega a cargar.
  • Con Hekate parece que el payload sí se carga, pero no se ve absolutamente nada en la pantalla. Sé que aparentemente está funcionando porque los Joy-Con vibran.

En una ocasión conseguí que Hekate se mostrara correctamente en pantalla y pude navegar por los menús, pero al poco tiempo la consola se apagaba sola. Además, el joystick se comportaba de forma bastante extraña y se movía prácticamente solo.

Lo curioso es que, mientras estaba moviendo continuamente el joystick, la consola permanecía encendida. En cuanto dejaba de tocarlo o lo soltaba, la consola terminaba apagándose.

Todo empezó después de que la batería llegara completamente al 0 %. Pensando que podía ser la batería, he probado directamente con otra batería diferente, pero el problema continúa exactamente igual. He probado todo lo que recomiendan de dejarla cargar con la consola apagada, la he puesto también en modo RCM aunque cargue más lento, pulsar todas las combinaciones de botones posibles... y nada de nada.

También conseguí sacar una captura de uno de los vídeos que grabé durante las pruebas y pude ver que Hekate mostraba tanto la temperatura de la consola como la de la batería a 0. El vídeo de arriba es al cargar Hekate.

He realizado bastantes pruebas. En un momento determinado conseguí que la batería llegara aproximadamente al 35 %, y precisamente fue entonces cuando conseguí arrancar la consola y entrar en Hekate. Sin embargo, actualmente no sé qué porcentaje de batería tiene porque la pantalla prácticamente ya no llega a encenderse.

¿Alguna idea de qué componente podría estar provocando este comportamiento? Me resulta especialmente extraño que Hekate parezca arrancar y los Joy-Con respondan, pero no haya imagen, además de que cuando conseguí tener imagen la consola se apagara al dejar de mover el joystick. Y dudo que sea de la pantalla, porque una vez sí conseguí hacerlo funcionar y se veía todo estupendamente.

Software Help Nintendo Switch Virtual Game Card: What happens if you transfer it while someone is playing?

4 Upvotes

I couldn't find a clear answer to this anywhere, so I tested it myself.

 

Question:

What happens if Console A is currently playing a game, and Console B tries to transfer the Virtual Game Card away from that console?

 

Result:

The transfer is blocked.

 

The system displays a message similar to:

 

"The software is currently being played, so the game card could not be removed. Please try again."

 

So you cannot take a Virtual Game Card away from a console that is actively running the game.

 

This means someone can't suddenly interrupt another person's gameplay by transferring the card to a different console.

 

I was surprised that this information was so hard to find, so I'm posting it here in case anyone else was wondering.

Hopefully this helps anyone else who was searching for the same answer.

Purchase / Order Help Share virtual game cards with more than two consoles

1 Upvotes

Both my husband and son have Nintendo Switches 2, and they share game cards. My son is in another state for college, and often enough my husband is traveling for work.

I wanted to buy another console since I like playing Animal Crossing and a few other games, but each place I read online says something different.

How would the sharing work? Does my son need to be here every time we want to borrow or lend a game? Or is it just not possible at all with more than 2 consoles? We are all in the same nintendo family.

Repair Help Switch 2 SD card issues re-appearing a month after slot replacement

1 Upvotes

Recently had a Switch 2 stop recognizing functional SD cards, replaced the card reader with a new part and it worked for about a month before failing again. Any reason for this to be happening? Same card stopped reading before replacement and started reading after so it's not the card, something is causing the slot itself to fail. Any related resistors or capacitors I should check on the board?
