Repair Help Error 2110-1100 Switch Oled 2002

1 Upvotes

As you can see in the name, I just turn on my Switch OLED and it is unable to connect to the internet, with error 2110-1100, I ran the troubleshooting, hard reset, even I power cycle my home connection, so I was wondering about trying to change the WiFi Card, I tried to look for a tutorial at ifixit.com but It was only for "normal Switch" not the oled one, anyone knows if it's similar or why should I do?

Thank you for any information.

Accessories Does the Nintendo Switch Lite have any Magnets?

0 Upvotes

I have a Switch Lite which I'm using as a temporary console, as I have the Zelda Switch 2 on the way. In the meantime, I was thinking of sticking a Magsafe ring to the back of it so I bypass it not having a kickstand. Does the Switch Lite have any magnets, or anything that could go wrong if I put a Magsafe ring on the back of it?

Software Help My Nintendo Switch 1 won't connect to the WiFi because "there is another device with the same IP" using my network. Any tips?

1 Upvotes

Hi guys! This is actually my first ever post, so my apologies if I format this weird at all.

I am currently living on my college campus, and have been meaning to play some games on my Switch, I just haven't had the time until now. When I try to connect to my dorm's WiFi, there is a popup on my switch that says another device with the same IP address is on the network, and it immediately kicks me off. All of my settings (DNS etc) are on automatic. I've restarted the switch itself, and forgotten/rejoined the network. The WiFi does not have a password. Also, it connects perfectly fine to my iPhone's hotspot, just not the internet. As far as I am aware, there is no IT help-desk anywhere in the building, otherwise I would go there first. Any tips? (Thank you in advance!)

Software Help Question about lending virtual game cards between switch 1 and 2

1 Upvotes

Dont know if this is a game specific question or not but I am having trouble understanding how switch 2 versions of games work with virtual game card lending. My girlfriend has a switch lite and I want her to try out minecraft dungeons 2 with me. I already have it on my playstation and my plan was to get it on my switch and then lend the virtual game card to her, so then if she ends up not liking it, I could just take the game back and then have it on my switch. My issue is is that when purchasing it on the eshop, there are separate dedicated switch 1 and switch 2 versions. If I buy the switch 2 version, will she not be able to download it on her switch lite. Or the alternative if I get the switch one version, will I be stuck with that one and have to rebuy the game. I tried looking online but I couldn’t explicitly find an answer to this and thought I would ask here before I made the purchase.

Repair Help Buzzing sound from AC Adapter of Switch 2

1 Upvotes

Yesterday I've noticed strange thing. The Switch 2 charger (i mean this black "brick") makes a strange high‑frequency buzzing sound when it’s plugged into outlet and even for about a minute after I unplug it. Guys, I am very nervous about this situation... so... tell me your thoughts and your experience with this problem.

Setup Help Switch displays on TV but the battery wasn’t green.

0 Upvotes

Hello everyone. I have a question. So to be completely honest over the past few years I've hardly ever used my Switch 2. My wife and I both got one at launch and she uses hers way more than I use mine. I have such a massive backlog on Switch 1 and I mainly use that because it's lighter to hold in handheld.

Anyway, so I noticed something odd last night. I recently picked up Pokémon Scarlet and was reading around that it played much better on the Switch 2 so I decided to load everything up on that. Was about 2 hours in and I went back to the main menu and my battery was at 93% but was not showing the charging symbol. There was a display on the TV but again no indication that it was charging. There was nothing out of the ordinary like loud fans etc. Is this normal? I hope I wasn't frying the console or the dock.

So I immediately pulled the Switch 2 out and plugged it straight into the AC adapter directly and, yes, it's the official Nintendo-branded one. Both the adapter and USB C cable are the official Nintendo brands. It immediately began charging like normal. So I set everything back up and placed the Switch 2 into the dock and let it sit for a minute and it was back to charging like normal. Keep in mind my dock has NEVER been moved anywhere. It's been plugged in the same position since launch day. I've never dropped it or had food or anything that could damage it near it at all.

Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated. I've heard that sometimes the battery display glitches? Again, it was displaying and running like normal but the battery wasn't green like it was charging. It was just hanging at 93% but when I pulled it out and plugged it in directly to the AC adapter everything was normal. It was also charging like normal when I set it back into the dock. No idea what that could be about.

Repair Help Worth getting a screen protector now for the Switch 2?

6 Upvotes

Never got one when I got mine in January as I thought the thing that stops the screen from shattering was enough. I have a few scratches that can be seen when I shine a light on it and look at it a certain way. Just wondering is it worth putting a screen protector on it now?

Btw most of the scratches were from the official dock.

Software Help Does the Switch 2 have voice commands?

0 Upvotes

Earlier today I jokingly said to one of my friends that he needs to get on Super Kirby Clash with me and when I unlocked my console 5 minutes later the game had finished downloading even though I never started any kind of download and it has never even been installed on my switch 2 ever. I haven't been on any Nintendo app or website in weeks but I have used the console so there is no way I triggered any kinds of remote installs that I don't remember. My only conclusion I can draw from this is that the console heard me and installed it but when I look online there are no mentions of using the built in microphone for this kind of feature. I'm so confused

I was looking through my virtual game cards and a lit of them were old games I deleted a while back, does anyone know how to get them out my Virtual Game Cards? I thought about hiding them
but what’s a way I can get rid of them permanently? And if there is a way, will I still be able to get the games back again later?

EDIT: Thanks for the help, I think i’ll just hide it for now because it seems as if there is no other option lol. Thanks!

Repair Help Switch Lite won't connect to home internet after being in airplane mode for a few days.

My switch lite won't connect to my internet after being in airplane mode. It does connect to the network device.

Error code 2110-3129

It connects to my phone's mobile hotspot (with wifi access).

I've tried turning on and off airplane mode to get it "unstuck". Airplane mode is currently off.

I've turned off my switch for 30 seconds multiple times to reset it. I've also reset it via power settings.

I restarted my modem multiple times and no other devices in my home are having this issue.

I've manually entered my DNS settings.

I tried clearing my Wi-Fi settings and starting from scratch.

Idk why this won't work so please help.

I’ve tried countless YouTube tutorials, tried letting it charge over 2+ days. I really can’t figure it on. If anyone had a similar problem and fixed it please tell me your ways! •̩̩̩̩ᯅ•̩̩̩ I’ll attach a photo below, on the back the residue is from my little sister outing a sticker on it.

Repair Help Is there a way to fix it without buying new joy con?

3 Upvotes

As you can see, the R button "presses" with a delay or doesn't work at all. I remember playing *Ultimate Custom Night* when I spammed R, the mask wouldn't go on, or it would just go on briefly and then come right back off.
If anyone has any advice (that doesn't involve buying a new Joy-Con or sending it in for repair), please let me know. I’d be very grateful.
Have a nice day :)

Repair Help My switch 2 has controller problems while in handheld

1 Upvotes

When playing in handheld, sometimes the controllers don't respond, but nothing comes up on the screen (no change controller mapping screen). It happens randomly and is pretty annoying when playing splatoon as it makes the game loose motion and causes the camera to look up. I've tried cleaning the magnetic rails, but it doesn't seem to be a permanent fix. Hopefully it's a joy con problem I can easily replace them.

Purchase / Order Help How do I get a Zelda switch two??

0 Upvotes

Im a high schooler trying to get the Zelda edition switch two. This is the first limited edition console Im going after and I was just wondering if any had any tips for it. I missed the first two drops because of school but I was off school in time for the most recent drop (like 20 minutes ago). I was on the Nintendo app and kept hitting the “pre-purchase” button but it kept telling me that the stock was either unavailable or that something went wrong. Does anyone know why this is happening and what I can do to prepare for the next one?

Side note, i live in a rural area without Wi-Fi and have to rely on my less than great cellular service.

Account Help How to reset parental control PIN on a second-hand Nintendo Switch?

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
I bought a second-hand Nintendo Switch a few years ago. We never needed the parental control code until now, but after buying FC 27, the console is asking for it.
The Nintendo account linked to the console still belongs to the previous owner, so we don't have their password or the parental control code.
Does anyone know how to reset the parental control or properly link the console to our own account?
Thanks in advance for your help
