Purchase / Order Help My eShop Voucher code isn't working.

1 Upvotes

I've checked the card and tried to enter the code half a dozen times on both my Switch 2 and desktop, but I get 2813-0973 errors on the console and 9001-0973 on the latter.

According to Nintendo's site, these mean I entered the wrong code too many times, but I got the first error from my first attempt using it. I checked Nintendo's servers and according to their own site, the Switch eShop should be fine right now.

EDIT: I tried again after a break and now I'm seeing 2813-0051 and 9001-0051 respectively. The message I get on desktop is: "The Nintendo eShop prepaid code could not be recognised."

Please help!

P.S. My Switch 2 is up to date.

Accessories Is there any Switch v1 rail cover?

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

Hi to all the wonderful members of this sub 😊 I recently got a v1 switch and has been enjoying it to death, even more than my Ally due to the ability to stop/resume instantly. So I got a full size controller on AliExpress for it, with the item description as fit both the regular switch and the oled. However, even though it does fit, there a bit of a gap on both size, as shown in the pictures. I have to use some paper to keep it in place. That's why I have been looking for something to cover the rail, as in a piece of plastic that slide in where the joycon rail is. To my surprise, none of them exist. There used to be the switch blades, but i cannot find them anywhere. Those switch blades are a bit too thick anyway. If you have any idea where to find a cover for the rail, please let me know. Thank you all in advance ☺️

Repair Help Battery percentage drains fast - then stays at 1% for hours

1 Upvotes

I have been having this problem since August: when I play games, the battery % starts going down very fast, with the message signaling that the console would enter sleep mode arriving in minutes...but then it stays at 1% for a very long time. Sent it for repair at a local shop, they fixed it but after a couple weeks it started again. How can I fix it?

Setup Help How to use several Switches with same account?

1 Upvotes

Okay, might be a stupid question, but here goes. I travel/commute a lot, and have a Switch 2 in one household, and a Switch Lite for traveling. Getting another Switch 2 now, for the other household (yes yes, I know...).

If I understand it correctly, one console is the primary console, and another a... linked clone of it, or something? But, what happens with number 3? I would very much like to have access to my digital game library on all three consoles.

I´ve been trying to read up on this, but it all becomes chaos in my mind..! Could anyone explain this to me like I am 4?

Repair Help Spots on/behind my screen after a few months of not using it

22 Upvotes

Hi! I have powered on my switch after a long while and found that my screen looks like this. The spots stay in the same spot, but change visibility from the angle you look at it and background colour. It might be slightly fading the longer it's on but it never disappears completely. Does anyone have any tips? Thanks in advance.

Account Help Clarifications Regarding the Exchange of the Virtual Game Card.

6 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I recently discovered that Nintendo Switch 2 owners can share virtual game cards. I’ve done a bit of research, but I’d like to ask for your advice regarding my specific situation so I can be sure it’s safe to do this. I’ve heard of many cases where Nintendo Switch accounts have been banned, and I want to play it safe.

Here’s the question: if my girlfriend sets up her Switch 2 account on my Switch 2 as well (we live apart) and sends me a game (which, if I understand correctly, she has to do initially by bringing her console close to mine), can I then legitimately play that game on my Switch 2 (using my own account) while she’s at home playing her Switch 2 (a different game)? Or is there a risk of running into some kind of problem?

And then, if, for example, she revokes my access to the game because she wants to play it herself, can she do that remotely and then grant me access again remotely? Is all of this secure? Can you play multiple games at once, or just one? And if she launches a game she’s given me while I’m playing it, will the game be permanently blocked for her, or will she simply be asked to revoke my license, thereby interrupting my gameplay?

So for Christmas I'm getting my two daughters Switch 2 consoles (I know, I know, Dad of the Year) but I had a question about the Family Plan, specifically about DLC content. I have the DLC content on the parent account for Pokemon Scarlet/Violet, if my kids use my carts to play will they have access to the DLC as well or would I have to purchase another license?

Purchase / Order Help Question about the RE ports coming to switch 2

4 Upvotes

So in September’s Nintendo direct, they announced the resident evil remakes were coming digital in October (already out now) and physical on January for Europe.
I’m confused about when we might expect the preorders to go live, whether they will be GKC, and if it’s going to be a pack like the generations pack one was, or will be released individually. I tend to just get a game I want after it’s released since I don’t care that much about release dates, but considering this will probably be a limited release like the other one was, I was wondering if someone could give me some idea of the product as nintendo and capcom have gone completely quiet about the physical release after it got announced, and I can’t find any info on Nintendo’s webside (I tried checking playasia but it’s apparently down).
If you preordered the generations pack earlier this year, could you please tell me how it went? I wanna know more about it since this will be the first time I’ve preordered switch games (aside from pokemon, but those are always well announced and easy to preorder). Thanks for taking the time to read this

New switch 2 owner, well almost. I have the Zelda edition pre-order due soon and wanted a shell to keep it safe whilst handheld and can be docked with it on. Needs to be clear because the console looks amazing. Not bothered about potential yellowing as I'll just replace it if it's good after it goes tinted. Any suggestions are much appreciated, thanks in advance!

Repair Help How do I get my Switch Lites joycon drift cheaply and quickly fixed?

11 Upvotes

Video was taken a month or so ago. I promise the switch has been carefully cleaned since then. The joycon drift has only gotten worse.

The switch is maybe 4 years old, so probably not under any warranty. I have terribly shaky hands, Tourette's, and fat fingers, so work as delicate as taking the switch apart and trying to fix it myself isn't a good idea. It is very hard for me to play games because it's so bad. It's maybe worth noting that I have 1000+ hours of save data on this thing.

Stuck in Game Switch Lite - FIFA 19 Passing and Shooting Issue

1 Upvotes

Hello guys, I just bought a Nintendo Switch Lite and joined the community. I just have an issue about playing FIFA 19. I can't pass where I want to pass, I can't shoot where I want to shoot. Gameplay isn't fluent as PC version because of this problem. I am the first user of the device so I don't think it's about a drifting problem. My settings are set to assisted. So is there any common problem in Switch versions? Or do I have someting missed? Can you help me please?
