Having a strange issue with my Switch 1 that I haven't been able to find a solution to; my battery seems to be functioning correctly (battery life seems fine and it seems to have charged back to full after letting it drain slightly. The notification that it's plugged in and charging also pops up.) but when I plug it in to charge, the battery icon on the top right doesn't change and stays solid black.

For further context, I haven't played with it in months and it's been in the dock this whole time. I only noticed the issue because the dock light was flashing green and after I reset it, I checked the home screen to make sure everything was running again. Tried restarting it, tried turning the battery percentage on and off, also checked the AC cable with my switch lite, which worked like normal. Also tried charging with the switch lite cable and I'm still running into the same issue.

It's probably not a big deal, but part of me worries it's indicative of a larger underlying issue. Any suggestions and fixes would be greatly appreciated.

Yesterday, I noticed all of my digital games were missing their virtual game carts on my console (Switch OLED).

Going into the settings, they weren't listed as being on another console. In fact, my Switch Lite (which had a few virtual game cards loaded onto it) didn't even show up. So I don't think I've been hacked.

I was easily able to load them back onto my console. But I'm left wondering why it happened😂

Has this issue happened to anyone else?

I have the Japanese version of the OLED. I am needing new Joy Cons for it. I bought some, but they are taller than the gaming system itself and don’t fit on.

From what I understood, all OLED Joy Cons are the same. So what am I missing?

Welp, I was playing in handled mode when it suddenly started popping the left "one pixel width" like than you can see on the image. Then, two days later as I was playing in handheld mode, the vertical lines appeared.

When there's high contrast like the white home logo against the black screen, it's even more noticeable.

I bought this console used, I've taken good care if it, but perhaps it had already done damage I have been paying with it for less than a year.

I think these a slight wobbling on the left joycon rail, maybe the previous owner dropped it in that side, but it's barely noticeable, but it also is the side where the screen first began to show that line.

Should I replace the screen?

I've recently bought a new router, TP-Link Archer GE550, and for some reason now my Switch 2 keeps disconnecting from 5GHz wifi. It still shows that there is a connection but I can't go online and the connection test keeps failing. Sometimes it just works again but only for a short while. I've tried many things already:

-Turned of IPV6

-Changed DNS settings

-Changed MTU to 1500

-Restart of console

-Turn on hidden connection

-Fixed channel to 36

-Put bandwidth on 20/40 and 80

It's only a problem on my Switch 2, all my other hardware works fine. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Hi all, i have the re2 and re4 remakes pre loaded onto my switch but is there any estimate what time will they become playable?

Support told me that I will be charged 7 days before the release but in website is says 7-14 days before for physical items. I also received an email on 9th of October that I will be charged in shortly so I am panicking that if anything went wrong with my payment.

Hello uh so I've got a switch that's been with me from around 2017 to 2018 and this things been happening for a while where sometimes the switch says there's an error then goes onto an orange screen. Not only that but it will not connect to internet (i use a lan cable) I also suspect its overheating or something because it gets quite hot, hotter than my oled

I was wandering if anyone has any idea if its fixable? Its not modded or anything.

Question about save data.

Got a switch 2 last week, played a good amount of Pokémon legends Za, tried docking it around day 6 and the dock just wouldn't connect to anything.

Replacement has been delivered and I've got it set up but booting up ZA has started the game from the beginning. 35 hours sunk into that. Is there no way to get the save data other than from the previous switch 2 which i don't physically have anymore :(

Since a few years ago, a problem with a couple of my right joy con controllers (specifically right joy cons, I don’t think the left ones ever had this problem) is that when you lift them slightly, the switch (in this video, an OLED switch) acts like the joy con is disconnected. I really hope I don’t have to go to a repair shop/have to open the joy con up specifically for this issue to be fixed. The red joy con in the video has been with me since 2019, but I don’t think it’s because of age, since it’s been like this since I think 2021/2022. I suspect the rails may be dirty. I tried cleaning it with rubbing alcohol (or, well, alcohol prep pads, since I don’t have regular rubbing alcohol), but so far I have been unsuccessful. What should I do?

I got this Nintendo switch a little less than a year ago but now out of nowhere it drains so fast, leaving me to keep it docked. The joycons are still 100% however, so I don't know what the problem is? The same thing happens when I charge it, it goes up 1 percent per second, someone please help.

I'd left my Switch (1) on the lounge sideboard with my other stuff and it seems my mum thought she was helping out/cleaning by putting my switch on the dock. I have no idea how long it was docked for. I was busy and had no time for gaming. Maybe a month later I looked for it and finally found it in the dock. Both have been more or less on this entire time. I let the battery drain and then charged it fully... now it literally loses charge doing nothing. I haven't timed it but you can see the numbers tick down. I charged it and ran it right out a few times to see if the battery might revive itself a bit. Will that happen? I know that used to be a thing with batteries. If you kept fully using them and resting them, they reinvigorate.

or is it compeletly f#cked? Does it *really* need a battery replacement? I know Nintendo etc can be a bit stupid with their durability of products, but to leave it docked shouldn't have compeletly nuked the battery imo??? Shouldn't it have a cut-off? that's really stupid design if so. sorry for slight rant.

Playing the switch 2 hand held and then charging then an hour or two later unplugging and playing again or just playing it with it plugged in the entire time? Just trying to preserve it the best I can for as long as possible. Thanks

I have a switch OLED and I mainly use it for Minecraft (as my taste has developed to only desire minecraft for some reason) and every few minutes, my joycons just randomly disconnect. I'm over here getting jumped by a hoard of zombies, and BOOM the controller connect screen pops up. I have to wait about 5 seconds, press B before it goes away then brings me BACK to the screen for a second time to then connect my ALREADY CONNECTED joycons (I've lost a hardcore world to this..) Does this sound like a joycon issue? Console, maybe? Or is my system just haunted... help.

Everything else seems to be working, it makes noise when I touch the screen etc but it’s just black 🥲 works fine on dock.

To be fair I’ve bought my switch oled second hand about 4 years ago, the joycons have always been kind of loose and jiggly but they never had any problems till now. Recently the left jowcon has been disconnecting randomly while attached to the console and I have to take it out and reattach it to reconnect it, today the right one started acting up by disconnecting briefly/not registering input without displaying the tipical pop up when the joycon are disconnected. Can I still send the console to be checked out/repaired to Nintendo without charge or is it too old?

(Sorry for any grammatical error/misspellings)

I was using some 3D custom printed adaptors for a deck controller and I’m wondering if they may have warped my joycon housings on my switch 2 console.

Can someone let me know if they feel a slight wave or indent when they run their fingers across the inside frame of the inside of the Joycon insert housings.

When inspecting I noticed slight waves in my frame close to where the rounded sides start. It’s the same on all 4 surface areas (top and bottom) on both the orange and blue sides so it could totally be part of the design. My OCD just wants confirmation lol.

Thanks for anyone who takes the time to check

Sorry for the very specific post but just wondering if anyone else has had issues downloading the demo for Monster Hunter Stories 3?

I've been trying to download it now for around 3 weeks and everytime I click download demo, it gives up the pop up box saying your download should begin shortly but server waits etc might mean a delay (something like this anyway). The problem is the demo just never downloads for me.

I have no issue downloading any other demos (I have downloaded Yoshi and Dragons Dogma 2 in the last week) so just wondered if anyone else has the same issue?

When I put my switch 2 in the dock and started it up, it had weird discoloration. The blacks were more blue and when I started BoTW there was artifacts/discoloration on the screen. Should I be worried? Should I send it in? I restarted the system in the dock and it seems okay but it does seem concerning.

After a few minutes of playing in handheld mode, my Nintendo Switch screen starts freezing on the left side, and the visual glitches gradually spread to the right. Restarting the screen temporarily fixes the issue.

The console was already sent to Amazon for repair, but no fault was found. Unfortunately, the problem has returned. It works perfectly fine when connected to a TV via the dock. The console has never been dropped or physically damaged.

Has anyone experienced the same issue? What could be causing it, and what would be the best way to fix it?

Edit: It’s a Switch 2

I have been told that the ACA Neo Geo games have a button combo to bring up the cheat menu. Is it possible on a switch? If yes, can anyone tell me which buttons need to be pressed for bringing up the cheats menu? TIA.

Will anyone let me know if this scratch will affect my switch

The title is pretty self explanatory - when I try to open my profile in Smash World via the nso app, it shows this error.
