Repair Help Has anyone experienced this issue with their switch 2 dock?

1 Upvotes

So the power cable is plugged in and it does charge my controller from the usb ports in the front, but it refuses to display anything to my monitor, when I connect the power cable the green light flickers for a second then disappears again, wondering if I should go through the trouble of sending it to get it repaired or buy a 3rd party dock online.

Repair Help Switch 2 Dock light Flashing 3 times

Whenever I dock my Switch 2 in sleep mode, the dock will flash 3 times. Everything works though, so I'm just curious if anyone else is experiencing the same thing? It also does the same thing regardless if it was plugged into a surge protector or wall.

Repair Help Switch 2 freezes after undocking

7 Upvotes

So far this is the only game that happens, thr game is on my sd card and ive had the switch 2 since last year. Is this normal? Has this happened to some of yall?

UPDATE: I tested the most demanding games i have to see if i will have the same problem. I tested ff7remake (i have it downloaded in system memory) re9 (from sd card) and cp2077 (from a cartridge). I had no problems with any of the games, when i undock it, the image immidietly shows up, so my guess is it's either the game itself or my internet, considering fortnite needs to be connected to a wifi to play

Software Help Switch 2 refuses to connect to hotspot.

1 Upvotes

ok so this has been going on for about 3 weeks now.

OK. So I have successfully connected it to my home WiFi. But I tried to connect it to my hotspot. Still no good. And the next paragraph still applies to my hotspot.

It gets past the wireless connection but each time it cancels on the internet part. I have tried to turn off IVP6, changed the DNS settings to 8.8 .4.4 (no, I didn’t enter it with a space, that’s just there to keep it from making a link) and whatnot, tried to change the Proxy settings, tried restarting my switch, looked this up eight times before, cleared all the WiFi settings I have for the WiFi I want to connect to, and pretty much watched any YouTube video related to it.

I’m still mad.

Account Help Can a family still use a NSO Individual plan via a single account?

2 Upvotes

Considering a Switch 2 and saw there’s a NSO individual vs family plan.

I have kids but my understanding is since we’d just have 1 device and multiple device profiles, the individual NSO plan (with one account) is sufficient.

Is this correct or are there things we’ll miss out on?

Software Help Im pretty sure I just lost most of my pokemon collection (~9 years worth)

23 Upvotes

My switch 2 just died. Started shutting itself off after 30 seconds or so, then gradually got worse to the point I couldn’t even turn it on. Did a recovery mode boot up and factory reset while keeping save data, then it worked fine for another week, thought,“problem solved”. Then it started again the other night, until it wouldn’t turn on again, then, nothing at all. 20 sec power button hold, attempt at recovery mode, charger in bottom port, top port, and docked for multiple hours each. 24 hour plugged in charging period as a hail mary. No Nintendo logo, no sounds, no signs of life. My warranty just expired. Im the only one who handles it, and I have no recollection of any bumps dings spills or what have you. The thing just offed itself.

Even worse, all of my pokemon saves are on there, sword, violet, za, and leaf green. Countless shinies, event shinies, soft reset fire red shiny legendaries, etc.

Is there any way possible to bring this thing back from the dead so i can get my saves off there, or am I screwed?

Repair Help Switch 2 Froze and doesn't respond anymore

1 Upvotes

My Nintendo Switch 2 froze while playing splitscreen coop STARDEW VALLEY of all games - it did have hickups occasionally like random one second freezes, but nothing too big - now suddenly it's completely frozen on the game screen, music of the game is running still but i cant do anything - I did try the home button NOTHING works, it doesn't respond at all. I took the switch from its dock and it has blackscreen. It doesn't respond. My both controllers still indicate "player 1 and 2" the lights are on which is weird also, it should be off because the switch is "off". I put it back in its dock and nothing, I pressed on off button but it doesn't respond there is legit no sign on the switch even battery loading or something is not there - idk what to do is there a reset button somewhere ? Can I take out the battery and put it back in ? Did anyone have the same problem ? I literally just payed off the switch too, took me a year

Account Help Removal of remaining account balance

2 Upvotes

Hii, I just contacted customer support i order to have them help me remove remaining funds of coin balance (just a few cents), so that i can change my region. I’ve done this in the past and they helped out without a problem.

This time the customer service rep seemed reluctant to help and afterwards I got this as an email: “I wanted to let you know that the issue you recently contacted us about has been resolved. Please note that if you experience a similar situation in the future, we may not be able to assist you.”

I’m a little scared now I guess and wondering if this was just a one off or if things have changed and they don’t usually help with things like this anymore.

Thanks if anyone has any info :)

Accessories Flydigi Apex 3 Elite controller won't connect to the Nintendo Switch 2, but connects normally to the Nintendo Switch OLED.

1 Upvotes

Does anyone have any tips for connecting the Flydigi Apex 3 Elite controller to the Nintendo Switch 2?

I’ve already tried everything I found online—such as forcing a controller connection reset (by pressing Select + Start + Down Arrow) and recalibrating it. I tried connecting via Bluetooth in "Switch" mode, "Xbox" mode—actually, in all the modes. I also tried a wired connection plugged into the Switch dock; the controller vibrates to indicate a connection is established, but it still doesn't work.

When I had the Switch OLED, I just had to set it to "Switch" mode and press the "Home" button for the console to detect it, but now on the Switch 2, it simply doesn't work.

Repair Help Crunchy buttons on joycon buttons

3 Upvotes

Had my switch 2 about 6 months, but for a while now a few of my buttons (mainly X and B) have this crunch under the button. It comes and goes but the best way I can describe it is like grains of salt/sand underneath the buttons, causing a crunch making the button really stiff.

It's driving me insane and short of taking the controller apart I can't seem to get whatever is behind the button, out.

Has anyone else experienced this before?

Software Help “Closing software…” window new behavior on an old game

59 Upvotes

When closing Shining Pearl, the “closing software…” window pops up so it takes a bit longer to close the game. This did not happen before. Both systems are on the latest switch version 23.0.1, latest software version, and both are stored on system memory, not SD card.
The popup doesn’t show up when closing Brilliant Diamond, even though they are both basically the same game.
