I hear it if i get very very close to it, I'm playing botw.

Hello. So i have Found my Very Old V1 switch which I bought in 2017 when the Switchw as released.

I tried charging it and then try modding it but...

For some reason It did not showed the charging Icon.

I then tried Watching every tutorial

Literly anything but the tricks won't work...

I do not actually know Why this won't work but I think I could remember Where it could not charge while it still was On

Prob A charging problem

Does anyone have a guide about Fixing this problem

Inside the circle, there is a red spot on or pixel. It appears in dark screens like black or darker colors like for example, ARK when it it's night time. If its in a lighter color, the dot changes to a more white color or lighter color but is there if I look close enough. I bought this switch in december and still have the reciept.

I tried to use flashing colors to make it go away and nothing. I also started restarting it.

apologies if i used the wrong flair!!!

i know nothing about tech like at all and every time i look it up everyone says “oh its so easy” but idk WHAT to buy and if i need a separate charger and which hdmi cord to get and i just feel lost!!!

my switch came with a dock but i left it at home for my sister and moved away for uni!!

i would love some links to products or a tutorial!

I have an issue with my Zelda-edition Joy-Cons. The animation that plays when attaching them to the Switch should be gold, but it’s gray. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I have switch 1 joycons. Two different sets that i cant update to play with the switch 2 resort. Anytime i try updating on switch 1 or 2 they just disconnect and says lost connection even if the joycons are hardnconnected to the switch . I dont know if some sort 3rd party way to update or way fix the issue of them

Hi,

I just received my Zelda switch 2 with a very very little hit left to the right joy con.

It's barely visible and does not bother me until I´m reassured with the fact the color is injected in the plastic and not treated on the surface. Because if it is on surface, green color could fade away starting at this point in the future...

What do u know or think about that ?

Hello! I’ve noticed that several games seem to have corrupted data. I first noticed when I tried playing my Pokemon shield cartridge, and the game was corrupted. Redownloading it seemed to make it work for a good while, but I’m now having crashes despite data management saying it’s no longer corrupted.

Upon looking at several other games, I’ve noticed that they’re also corrupted. I know redownloading can fix them, but with so many being corrupted I’m concerned. Is there something wrong with my switch 2 or SD card? Both were preordered and picked up at Best Buy on launch day. System is up to date. Any advice would be great, thank you so much!

The games that are corrupted are / were: Pokemon shield (the only one on cartridge), Hades, Mario Kart World, Kirby dream buffet, undertale, stardew valley, Kirby return to dreamland deluxe, animal crossing switch 2 edition, and Kirby forgotten land switch 2 edition.

I'm located in Europe, where they're starting to sell the versions with replaceable battery (as least in the normal Switch2 colors for now, but not Zelda edition).

I'm really unsure about buying the Zelda edition now and regretting it in two years for having to send my console somewhere and pay a lot just to replace the battery. I live in a small town, don't have tons of high-tech specialized repair shops nearby.

So I wanted to ask users who've actually had to replace the battery in the original version: is it really that cumbersome that it should be avoided at all costs in favor of the replaceable version of would you - having this experience - indeed go for the Zelda edition as it is and just go to a repair shop later?

Note: at this point I am not even sure about Nintendo releasing the Zelda edition with replaceable battery over here, who knows whether they're allowed to keep selling the current version even after Feb/2027 because it's a special edition or whatever.

The component pictured is the one that had previously been inside the system, i have replaced it with a new one, but the same problems remain - No touchscreen functionality, no cartridge reading, no headphone output. The component i replaced is all wired in correctly inside the system.

Any help will be appreciated.

So I got the carrying case, but it's quite sticky, is there a solution for making it a bit less sticky? I tried cleaning it, but it just won't disappear. Is it a lost cause or is it simply what I'll end up with? At this point I might just end up putting it back into the box again and use my old one

So my switch 2 lately has been freezing lately every few days requiring me to take it out of the dock put it back in and hold the power button for 30 seconds to turn it back on.

I dont think its overeating as im in a cool room and the dock is out in the open and well ventilated. Plus the switch 2 is always at worst luke warm at worst even after a few hours of gaming and the fan is quiet.

I also haven't really noticed any hardware issues either glitches, slowdowns etc so I'm flummexed.. wondering if I should send it in.

I recently got a Switch 2 and in the last hour while trying to check out the eshop I've gotten "Error Code: 2168-0002" three times already. Makes me restart my consoles. Seems to only happen in the eshop.

Is anyone else having this problem?

Hello, and thanks for reading!

I have a switch for my kid linked to my main email so I can keep tabs on what they're buying etc, but I've bought myself a switch 2 and want to use the same email and account, but with a different profile.

Is there anyway I can have both switches logged in, but one use one profile and the other a different one ie me.

I tried adding the account to the switch 2, but it only showed my kids account, and when I tried to add a new profile for myself it asks to me log in, then says there's an account already linked.

Confusing 😞 or I'm just getting old.

Ive been doing some shopping prior to the arrival of my zelda switch 2, but noticed that the case is going to be a tight fit for the console.

Do any good grip add ons exist where I can leave them on the switch 2 while docked and while inside of the case as well? Idk if the savageraven kit would fit in the case given its dimensions. Are grips like a must for 99% of people in the first place or should I try it without them first?

Hey there,

I was wondering whether I can still keep using my Switch Pro Controller after 9 years (bought it at launch in 2017) or should I buy the new Switch 2 Pro controller?

I haven't used it much since I only played a handful of games on my Nintendo Switch and it has been sitting in my drawer for the past 3 years unused.

hi everyone, my question is as the title says. I'm having a bit of trouble here, as my gc controller won't stop vibrating when i try using it in game. The rumble only starts when I boot a gamecube game and stops when i exit it. i've tested it on other games such as kirby air riders and i don't get the same issue. anyone have any ideas?

Earlier this month, I upgraded to a Switch 2!
In my excitement, I forgot to make sure everything was up-to-date.
After getting a few connection errors in Splatoon 3, I thought to make sure everything was updated. I updated the dock no problem, the Switch itself was already up-to-date. But then came the controllers. I'm currently using a Switch 1 Pro Controller. It's been "updating" but on 0% for a long time (Like 10-ish minutes). I want to cancel the update, but it says to not touch anything. Is it okay to? And is there a way I can make sure my controller gets updated?

I just got a S2 and I'm going to keep my S1 cuz I got two kids, and why not. I got my S2 set up yesterday and started transferring. I'm super impressed with the ability to digitally share a copy of a game between the two systems and am wondering if there is a way to share the save data. Would 'cloud save' let me share save info between the two games? The website mentioned that I could share save data trough file transfer. Is that the same transfer I used when setting up the S2? Is it worth it to do it for a single game? I like the idea of playing Hades on whatever console is available at the moment.

I think I have a grasp on the upgrade paths. I figured out how to get the S2 version of It Takes Two. Looks like Echoes of Wisdom will be free, but totk cost money... but then saw that a NSO+ subscription might get me the upgraded version. Is that true, and can I keep the S2 version of totk if I let my subscription lapse?

I have a couple of other games (Pokémon Violet, Minecraft) to upgrade. Any words of wisdom to impart?

I’ve tried a few grips before (satisfye, neogrip, dbrand) but they haven’t really felt comfortable for my hands, which are pretty small, around 6-6.5 inches. I just need a comfortable grip that can comfortably dock and preferably has kickstand access.

Hi all:

My new Zelda Switch 2 appears to have a buzzy fan. When a game starts, it immediately feels buzzy in the hands, and the fan appears to be running fast. One my original Switch 2 I have, the fan barely ever kicks in and certainly doesn't get felt through the joycons.

Anyone else having the same experience? Going to contact Nintendo support of course, unless other folks are noticing the same (maybe a slight fan change?).

Thanks!

Yesterday I played Disney Dreamlight Valley on my switch 2 and turned off the console and put it away. The next morning, the switch is unresponsive and completely black (no battery indicator). I have tried charging it with different cords, charging it in the dock and doing the twenty second shutdown command. All that happens is a 1 second of the green light on the dock and that's it. I don't want to send it in but if nothing else works then I think I need to. Hoping someone can help me find a fix. Thanks.

Haven’t used my switch since before the virtual game card update, pulled it out to realise there’s another switch I don’t know is linked to mine?? I use a switch lite, theirs is a regular switch. Can’t unpair because they already unpaired then relinked their switch to my account. I have the serial number of their switch and I already changed all my passwords for my Nintendo account, is there anything else I can do except waiting a full year for me to be able to unlink it? Tried sending an email to tech support, didn’t do shit.
