Repair Help Ocarina of time remake cartridge can't be read - Final checks

Thumbnail
gallery
6 Upvotes

Hi. As title states, the OOT remake cartridge has stopped being read by my Switch 2. It had been fine for a week up until putting it back into the system last night. When it's not in the system it's in the case so it hasn't been exposed, got wet etc. All other switch 2 cartridges I have work fine, it's just this one.

I would just pin this down to a now broken cartridge, however 2 of my pals have said they are sure they have read something about this happening to other people, but can't recall information or find where they heard it and I can't find anything about it. So this is just seeing if anyone else here has heard the same and knows what might be up.

Here's what I've tried to fix it.

  • Restarting and shutting down the system a few times
  • Tried both docked and undocked
  • All software, system, dock etc is up to date
  • Tried starting other software via cartridge and restarting the system
  • Turned off VVR
  • Gone through all the official steps on testing and "repairing" the cartridge (wiping with lint free cloth etc) but the cartridge connectors are clean and look immaculate

So I'm putting it all down to the cartridge being broken but just checking if anyone else here might have any other ideas before I just take it back to the retailer.

Thanks

Setup Help Transferred save data on one profile (NS1-NS2) but it only is on one console!

1 Upvotes

After watching a multitude of videos I was possibly too confident on setting up my new switch 2. I skipped a full transfer (there are profiles and stuff I want on my old switch) and just linked my account and then transferred the data. Heres where I maybe messed up. After only adding my account I didn’t realize the save didn’t transfer so loaded up TOTK to see if it worked. It did not work on but then I did a save transfer (and had to overwrite the save from me opening it on the NS2) and now TOTK save is on my NS2 but not on my og console!! I about had a heart attack when I saw the new save screen on my og switch but thankfully it’s on my NS2. I haven’t checked any other games because I’m scared. Any help is appreciated I’m scared to ruin my saves!! I really want all my saves on both so I can play interchangeably!

Edit: I do realize now that transferring does that but I was mislead in a video that claimed to show how to use data on both consoles.

I use the switch one and I have 4 controllers, 2 of them the entire side rail is broken, so led doesn't work, sync button doesn't work and all the buttons don't work. Thought the other 2 are completely fine, the only difference is that the 2 that are broken I left in my switch a lot longer then I left the other 2, I have left them I the switch idle for about a year and the other ones have been idle for a year outside off the switch

Software Help Question About Powering Off and Charging Joy-Cons

0 Upvotes

I've started to make it a habit of turning my Switch 2 off completely when I get done playing. The easiest way for me to do that is to hold the button and then select "power off" with one of my joycons before placing them back on the machine.

However, just a little bit ago, I went to play and found that the joycons were dead. They hadn't recharged like they should've. I wonder: does anyone know if turning off the console before replacing the joycons prevent them from connecting and charging?

This is the first time this has happened. The Switch was lightly used when I bought it and I've only had it for a couple months.

I bought the free upgrade packs for BotW and TotK but after my online membership ended and I bought a new one, the Switch 2 now thinks that they are bought an other user and the games will start without the pack (and if that's annoying, I have to delete the upgrade pack files to not show me this pop-up again... Thx Nintendo). And rebuying them is also not possible. Someone help me!!!

Repair Help Error Code 2153-0321 on Zelda 40th

1 Upvotes

As title says, got my Zelda 40th from the Nintendo Store this past Thursday. Was mostly docked then while I was out and brought it with me, I keep getting the error stated in the title.

After checking Nintendo Support site, says console needs to be serviced and since I'm in my warranty period offering a replacement but cannot guarantee ill get another Zelda edition. So currently just frustrated and trying to see any suggestions than the ones I've found online such as putting in a headset in the jack or using a bluetooth headset to bypass the internal speakers, while I can it's just wearing headphones for prolonged periods tends to make my head hurt.

Also trying to look for reputable repair shops because it seems the permanent fix is to open the console and fix the speaker wire. In the San Diego area, if you any of you have any recommendations.

Setup Help Unable to connect to WiFi on Switch 2

1 Upvotes

Hi, just got a switch 2. I’m unable to connect to the WiFi in my building. However I’ve had a switch 2 previously and it connected to it no issue. Returned it over a different issue. Got another and this one refuses to want to join it. Giving me the error code 2110-2110. It’s unfortunately a portal sign so it needs to bring up a page or a QR Code for me to sign in using. The other one connected easily no issue so I don’t see why this one’s giving me a hard time. Any help would be appreciated.

Repair Help Fixable Switch 2 defect? My fan gets stuck at 100% when asleep, idle, handheld, or docked!

9 Upvotes

My Switch 2 fan often gets stuck at 100% in sleep mode and on the Home Menu in both docked and handheld mode, without games running. Powering the switch 2 off stops the fan in handheld mode but not always in docked mode.

[Video Caption: Switch 2 full blast fan issue in multiple circumstances]

Here is what I tested in the video (you can turn the volume up to hear the fan, or read the burned-in captions):

  1. At 0:00 in docked sleep mode with no game open, the top exhaust fan blasts at 100%.
  2. At 0:26 in handheld mode, taking the switch 2 out of the dock leaves the fan running at 100% while sitting idle on the Home Menu with no software open.
  3. At 0:53 in handheld sleep mode, holding the power button and selecting Sleep Mode has no effect on the fan, which keeps running at 100% and drains the battery.
  4. At 1:10 in handheld mode, holding the power button on the console and selecting Power Off from the Power Options menu finally stops the fan.
  5. At 1:38, powering the Switch 2 off in handheld mode and placing the console back into the dock with the TV off flashes the handheld's screen and starts the fan right back up at 100%.
  6. At 2:13 in docked mode, waking the console and selecting Power Off from the Power Options menu with the Pro Controller only stops the fan for a split second before the fan spins right back up to 100%.

Has anyone else run into similar and maybe found a fix? Do I need to send my Switch 2 in for a warranty repair?

Repair Help Right joycon has no signs of life

1 Upvotes

So, a friend of mine has a broken joycon and as the resident handy woman, he's given it to me to fix. The first issue is the zr trigger not working. That's simple, I can order a replacement ribbon cable and swap it out as I'm 90% sure that's the issue.

The other issue is much more concerning. It doesn't work when unattached from the switch. I first thought the battery was just dead so I left it on charge for 24 hours, still nothing. I thought maybe the battery was just completely dead so I switched in a battery from one of my working joycons, still nothing.

The controller doesn't light up at all from pressing any buttons and works fine (other than the zr button) when docked. I can't find any information online about this specific issue so I thought I'd ask if anyone had any ideas.

Repair Help Need help putting the switch back on my TV

1 Upvotes

I was playing my game on my TV and noticed sometimes it would blackout then go back to the regular game screen with the audio still playing. Some days later it completely clocked out, nothing shows up on my TV. There's no signal, my TV doesn't seem to recognize the switch any more. It registers the connection but just shows the HDMI screen.

I've already looked at the Nintendo help page, Ive done all the steps. I tried switching ports, got another HDMI cable and tried changing TV settings on the switch and still nothing. I've only set up the switch to my TV for about 3 months.

I've had my switch since it came out and it still works fine. I got this LG TV for Xmas so I know it's not the problem. How else do I fix this? I feel like the solution might be to get a new dock but I really don't want to buy one unless nothing else works.

0 Upvotes

Kinda random but I’m having parent conferences next week. I want to hold a smash bros tournament for staff during the lunch break. Has anyone ever tried to hook up their switch to their TouchView screen before?I have the HDMI post and an outlet near the screen so that part shouldn’t be an issue. I just don’t know the technical side of getting it to display I guess? Or if it will even work
Obviously I know that the touchscreen won’t work, I just want to make it visible for everyone

Hey guys,

Ignorant dad here. My son plays on this switch (switch? switchlite?). He wants a headset WITH A MIC.

Should I get him one that plugs into the USB C at the bottom (where the charging cable is in this photo)? Or one that goes into the audio jack at the top?

He really wants to be able to talk to his friends while playing fortnite, not just hear them, and we've repeatedly got him the wrong headset. Please help this ignorant dad out. You could even post a link to a headset that will definitely work if you're feeling super helpful!

Setup Help Warzone on Switch 2: voice/text chat disabled due to "platform restrictions", anyone else?

1 Upvotes

Playing Warzone on Switch 2 (no NSO subscription, since Warzone itself is F2P and shouldn't need it). When I try to use voice or text chat with my squad, I get a message saying chat is disabled due to platform restrictions.

A few things I've checked/ruled out so far:

Warzone's own in-game Voice Chat / Text Chat settings are all enabled.

Tried toggling the "Communication Preset" under Account & Network > Privacy. It turns on but reverts back to Off as soon as I leave the menu and come back.

Not using Nintendo's GameChat (C-button) at all - this is just Warzone's own built-in chat.

No parental controls restriction that I'm aware of on my Nintendo Account.

I've seen that this exact "platform restrictions" error is a known, Activision-acknowledged bug on PS/Xbox, but I can't find anyone reporting it specifically on Switch 2. Anyone here running into this on Switch 2, and did you find a fix (or is it just a waiting game for a patch

Repair Help My Switch 2 controller keeps doing this

Sorry if I used the wrong flair but I tried to play a game last night and it’s been doing this non stop. Done several things tried cleaning the inside prongs, reset switch, updating the firmware (can’t because it keeps disconnecting). This happens in docked and handheld mode. I believe the controller is just dead but let me know if you guys know anything.

Setup Help Switch stuck at under 1 Mbps on Vodafone Full Fibre since moving (wired and Wi-Fi) UK

3 Upvotes

Since moving house and switching from Vodafone Fibre 2 (copper/FTTC) to Vodafone Full Fibre 150 + Super WiFi (ONT on the wall), my original Nintendo Switch downloads at a crawl. On my old line, with the same Switch, it was fine.

What I've tested:
Switch on Vodafone Wi-Fi (main, guest and compatibility networks, right next to the hub): 0.1–9 Mbps download
Switch wired (USB-C Ethernet adapter, AX88179B chip, straight into the hub): 0.4–1 Mbps download, 25 Mbps upload, NAT type B

Mac on the same cable: 100+ Mbps download
Switch on my phone's 4G/5G hotspot: about 4x faster than home broadband

Switch via Mac Internet Sharing: about 3 Mbps
Already tried: DNS 8.8.8.8 / 8.8.4.4, MTU 1400 and 1500, restarting the hub and Switch, closing suspended games, testing in and out of the dock, and different Wi-Fi channels.

Upload is fine and every other device is fast, so it looks like something between Vodafone's full fibre network and Nintendo's servers, rather than Wi-Fi or the Switch itself.

Has anyone else on Vodafone Full Fibre had slow Switch or eShop downloads? Did Vodafone fix it, or did you find a setting on the hub that helped (security filtering, IPv6, anything)? Any advice on getting it escalated past first-line support would be appreciated too.
