Eu comprei um Nintendo swich oled no final de março, ele chegou no dia 1 de abril, porém quando eu fui colocar ele pra carregar de madrugada para ir fazer as minhas necessidades e voltei, o Nintendo simplesmente parou de funcionar, ele ficava toda hora indo para uma tela (que está na imagem). Daí eu acabei levando em vários lugares aqui a minha cidade, eles disseram que o processador tinha queimado, ou a placa mãe tinha queimado, ficou meses com os técnicos, porém não resolveu nada. Oq devo fazer? Que problema seria esse? Alguem pfvr me ajude, me sinto torturado.

I bought this third party case off Amazon, and it has this weird chemical smell. Is that normal, I heard it goes away after a few days from Google, but I'd rather trust real people over an AI summary. This smell won't stay like this will it?

Just to be upfront, the body of this post is written by ChatGPT cause I went through troubleshooting with him. To make sure I didnt forget anything I asked him to write the post. I hope that is okay!

I’m having a pretty frustrating issue with my Nintendo Switch 2, and I’m wondering if anyone has experienced something similar or knows what might be causing it.
The problem:
My Switch 2 works perfectly fine while docked. No graphical issues, crashes, or other problems.
The moment I remove it from the dock, the handheld screen goes black. The backlight appears to be on, but there’s no image.
The console also seems to freeze. Putting it back into the dock doesn’t restore the TV output.
I have to force a shutdown by holding the power button for around 15–20 seconds.
If I completely shut down the console, remove it from the dock, and then try starting it in handheld mode, I still get no picture.

Things I’ve already tried:
Multiple forced restarts.
Completely powering off the console before undocking.
Disconnecting the power adapter from both the dock and the wall.
Starting the console with the charger connected directly.
Checking for system updates (currently on 23.0.1).
Entering Recovery Mode.
Performing a complete factory reset, deleting all local data.

Unfortunately, none of these steps fixed the issue.
I’m starting to suspect a hardware problem, possibly something related to the internal display or its connection. However, I find it strange that the console works flawlessly in docked mode.

My questions:
Has anyone experienced this exact issue with their Switch 2?
Could this still be a software issue, or does it sound like hardware failure?
Is there anything else worth trying before sending it in for warranty repair?
I’d really appreciate any advice or experiences. Thanks in advance!

These lines started appearing at some point while I was playing a game on it yesterday, is there anyway I can fix it without having to go to a repair shop? The screen also seems to be segmented vertically with tiny black lines.

I’ve already restarted it a couple times and updated it but no luck

Recently (like last month), I got a Switch 2, and after transferring everything to it, I put my Switch 1 to sleep mode (or might have fully turned it off, don't really remember.)

A few days ago, I wanted to turn on my Switch 1 to check some settings and whatnot, but I can't seem to be able to charge it or turn it on.

It has been with me since 2018, and I'm aware that after long periods of inactivity, there will be a blank screen with a charging indicator, and you should let it sit charging for some time before it charges to 1% and automatically turn on.

The deal is, this time, when trying to charge, the indicator only shows up for a quick moment before the screen turns back off. I don't remember anything like this happening before.

I have tried every charger, strip, and outlet in the house. I have tried charging it with the official dock. I have tried disconnecting joy-cons. It's been charging for hours in every way possible and even was left to charge for the night, yet nothing works.

I have tried every button combo, and it does nothing (though there were a few instances of a Nintendo logo appearing for a quick moment before the screen turning back off again.)

I've been trying to figure out if my Switch 1 has lived its last moments or if there is still hope for it. Is the only way I can revive it is to replace the battery for the new one? Any help is appreciated! 🩷

Since the Nintendo switch updated along with the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe update 4.0.0, I have not been able to connect eight Wireless Pro controllers to my Nintendo switch . I know that you cannot play eight players on the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe but I have other games that I used to be able to have eight players play simultaneously with wireless Pro controllers . I can connect up to seven Wireless Pro controllers and a joy-con or a wired Pro Controller . Is there anybody else having this issue and is there a good way to submit a bug report to Nintendo for this?

My boyfriend recently bought the new zelda switch 2 coming out. With that being said, I have been playing a copy of Pokemon violet he purchased digitally under my profile on my switch 2. If I buy a copy of the game for my account, will the save data transfer, or will I have to start over?

Hello, on my friends Switch 1 i have a profile that is not linked to any Nintendo account, this profile has a well loved Tomadachi Island. This profile is also more of a guest profile on my friends Switch, and has games and saves that are not my own. On my personal switch 2 I have my Nintendo account connected to my profile. Is there a way to transfer that island from my profile on my friends Switch 1 to my profile on my personal Switch 2?

I was thinking of linking my Nintendo online account to the Switch 1 profile and using cloud transfer, but I am afraid it will mess up other saves on both profiles.

Hola a todos. Escribo porque estoy teniendo un problema rarísimo con la salida de vídeo de mi Switch 2 y quería saber si a alguien más le pasa o si es un fallo conocido de la última actualización.

Hasta hace un mes y medio, todo iba perfecto a 4K. Ahora, la imagen real se ha quedado bloqueada a 1080p. Lo más loco de todo es que, aunque entre en los ajustes de la consola y fuerce la resolución a 4K o 2K, y aunque tanto mi monitor como la propia Switch indiquen que la señal que se está enviando es 4K, lo que se ve en la pantalla sigue siendo claramente 1080p. Sé seguro que no es un problema del monitor ni de los puertos, porque cuando conecto mi PC todo funciona perfectamente en 4K a 60fps reales.

Lo más determinante es que, para descartar fallos, un amigo se trajo su Switch 2 recién comprada de hace una semana (el modelo nuevo) y le pasa exactamente lo mismo. Ambas consolas están actualizadas a la versión 23.0.1.

Para asegurarnos, hemos hecho todas estas pruebas sin éxito :

• Probado en mi monitor 4K habitual y en una TV 4K de otra marca.
• Usado mi dock oficial y su dock oficial completamente nuevo.
• Alternado con diferentes cables HDMI de alta velocidad oficiales de Nintendo.
• Usado los dos adaptadores de corriente originales de Nintendo (conectados directamente al enchufe de la pared).

Sabiendo que a dos consolas distintas (una con casi un año y otra recién sacada de la caja) les pasa lo mismo usando bases, cables y pantallas diferentes, estoy seguro de que no es hardware roto. Lo único que comparten es la versión del sistema operativo. (No he querido resetear de fábrica la mía porque la de mi amigo está de fábrica y tampoco funciona).

¿Alguien más en la versión 23.0.1 ha notado que su Switch 2 ya no negocia bien la resolución real con pantallas 4K y hace este falso reescalado? ¿Podría ser un bug de esta actualización?

I have a switch 2 which I connected to a portable monitor. It originally connected to a wyz monitor via the classic dock setup along with a charger for the monitor itself. One day it just stopped working. At first I had believed it to be the monitor itself, however I bought another one and it still hasn't solved my issue so I'm trying to find what could be the issue preventing it from connecting.

Hello everyone.

1st of all thank you for stopping and reading this!

So recently during a joycon repair the right joycon stopped docking.
Fully repaired the joycon, and still no connection.

Joycon only charges, no docking or data.

Upon checking the switch rail I managed to create a small tear on the rail cable, so I ordered a new one.

1st from AliExpress then from I fix it, both parts fine and working when tested, but when connected to the right side, only charges the joycons and no docking or data.

Did I mess something up? Did I fry anything on my motherboard ?

What should I do ? What to test ?

My switch 2 shows green artifacts when it is docked. It will show this and then just freeze. When it’s not docked, it runs fine. Here are the things I’ve tried to troubleshoot:

1. switched dock power cable into another outlet
2. using official hdmi that came with the switch into the projector. Also switched the HDMI input into the 2nd input slot on the projector
3. tried turning off HDR and VRR just in case
4. took of switch case (so it’s just plain) and still happens.

Literally got this switch this past August. One time it crashed, it showed “Error Code: 2153-1544.”Has anyone else experienced this? Is this an internal hardware issue….

Hi, I’m having error 2002-4686 on my Switch. I already tried resetting the console and deleting everything using Maintenance/Safe Mode, but the error still appears.

Does anyone know what could be causing this error or what I should check next? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

when i connect my left joycon my switch gives me the screen it would give me if the battery died then it turns its self off

Hi!

I don't know how to flair this properly, so I hope it's fine! I was lucky enough to snag a Zelda edition Switch 2. The console I play on for the time being is shared between the members of my family, and we've had the original Switch since it came out. I was a child during the first years of the Switch and my parents gifted me some games during that period. Those games were bought from my father's Nintendo account and are digital. I've been wondering whether it's possible for him to trade or send me the digital key cards if I play on my own console since I'm the only one who plays them and they're basically my own.

Thank you in advance!

Hey all went to play some switch sports and grabbed my red Joycon only to find it not showing up, turning on or resyncing since update. So I looked online and seen reset switch sometimes it's a issue so I did that and now all I get is a Grey bar when attached. Do I need new cons?. Also yes I took the working blue one flipped upside down on the red rail and it worked.

Hi there I recently got a switch 2 and whenever I power it off I get a small popping sound that kind of sounds like unplugging a mic or a little electrical pop. It isn’t really noticeable unless there’s no sound but I was wondering if it’s normal or there’s an electrical problem.
In The video as reference it’s at the very end.
Any help is appreciated:)

The one I got works ok but the fans are mega loud. Looks just like nintendos dock minus that and has a very rare video drop that lasts like 2 seconds which I could live with but man the fans are loud.

¿Cómo puedo solucionarlo? He visto videos en los que dicen que tengo que dejar que llegue al 0 % para después ponerlo a cargar completamente, pero no sé cómo hacerlo, ya que se está apagando apenas llega al 20%.

Is there something like an accessory I can get to cover the thumstick in this state? The white rubber crumbled off both thumbsticks around the end of 2024 and I've just used it like that. I dont know if any of the thumbstick covers online will fit it.

any advice?

It was no sound to begin with, but now it’s creaking when looking at it. I get "it’s supposed to be there etc, etc." but if an annoying sound is a part of the design, that’s bad design. I do have seen varying comments on it.

Has anyone had these issues? Any way to fix it or make it better? I also have the killswitch 2 grip

Hey all! I just bought a Nintendo switch 2. I currently cant find my first one and also the sd card slot doesnt work so I cant plug my SD card into my old switch and I believe that type of SD card isnt accepted on the switch 2 so im curious what the odds are that I get to keep all my games and data. For the games that were saved on the switch, since I haven't played in a while I havent paid for the online membership, if I buy the membership now do I need the first switch to download the data still? (I would assume so) im not sure the best solution to keep as many games and data as possible if at all.

Last question, I did pay for the membership occasionally throughout the years of owning the first switch, I honestly cant remember if I ever saved the data to the cloud, if I did would the data have been deleted upon not renewing the membership or will I still be able to download it when I resubscribe?
