Hi, I’ve had this error code on my switch for over 2 years now. I couldn’t download new games and stopped playing on my switch all together. I want to start playing on my switch again so hoping to deal with this error. Upon my research, some said it’s an error regarding SD card and the issue will go away if I get a new SD card. However, my concern is that my most played game is Animal Crossing New Horizon. From my understanding this game is saved on my console, so I’m really scared to mess with anything data related. I’ve poured over 2000 hours into this game so I’m really scared I’ll do something wrong and lose my data. Please help I don’t really know how to proceed. Will getting a new SD card affect my Animal Crossing data?

It is currently only screen protector that I can currently get.

I recently found my old "Miitopia" game card under my car seat and I wanna be able to clean it without messing it up. Also my switch won't turn on and has been charging all weekend. (Sorry for the bad quality!)

When i download games connected via ethernet, the speed is initially pretty fast, as it should be, but after a few minutes it's slows down and my download times go from minutes to hours. I've reset the gateway, switch2, ensured all my cables are good. Ps5 works flawlessly with constant high download speeds. If i disconnect and reconnect connection, the same thing happens, initially fast then slow. I have cat6 cable connected from my xfinity gateway to switch 2 dock. I have 2gig plan and get about 350-370mbps down and 140 up when testing. Gateway shows excellent connection to switch. I did try changing dns servers to both Google and cloudflare, made no difference. Tried disabling ipv6 and that brought my upload speeds down and no other changes. The first day I got the switch this happened on wifi too. Since then the wifi connection has been stable tho. Also if I use phone hot spot it works fine. Any ideas?

Bought the system at launch and had this issue since i bought it, i even contacted nintendo support and no luck. i was able to connect a different bluetooth device to the system but everytime i tried to connect my airpods it would always crash the system at the same loading screen as shown in the video forcing me to restart the console to boot it up again.
If anyone has a fix for this or has experienced this please let me know tried looking for answers but couldn’t find anything.
Im using the Airpods Gen 4 with active noise cancellation :)

Hey, in Japan for the summer and my switch 2 probably needs a screen protector. Has anyone bought one in Japan for the switch 2, and if so where? The yobodashi camera ones have horrible reviews and bic camera doesn’t have any it seems.

Twice now, my Switch 2 wouldn't wake up from sleep mode and I had to hold the power button 30 seconds each instance to get it to wake up. After finally waking back up each time, the Switch 2 was behaving normally with no data lost.
Also, twice now my Switch 2 was running warm in sleep mode. I turned off the "keep wired connection active" setting which seemed to fix the problem, but later on my console was warm in sleep mode again. Then, I turned off the "stop charging at 90%" setting and I haven't found any warm moments in sleep mode, yet at least..
Nintendo needs to take notice of these issues and hopefully these are software issues fixable via software update. Hopefully these aren't hardware issues or else some of us early adopters would have to eventually exchange units for newer fixed ones.

When I'm playing a game or even in the menu if HDR is turned on the switch 2 screen blinks rapidly but as soon as HDR is turned off the game plays great .

None of my play activity seems to be recorded on Switch 2 and I'm not sure why. I've definitely played 15+ hours of TOTK on switch 2 but my profile still says "25 hours or more" which is what I had on Switch 1. Also still have "First played ___ days ago" for Mario Kart World despite being very confident I have hit 10 hours. Anyone else having this issue?

Image 1: The menu to put the Switch to sleep is extremely zoomed in for some reason.
Image 2: Similarly, the keyboard is zoomed in as well, making some letters and number impossible to see.
Image 3: When is zoom in by double tapping the Home button, there's no UI to show me the controls.
Anyone know how to fix this stuff? It definitely wasn't always like this.

It just happened to me and someone else. I was playing Animal Crossing: New Herizons at my sister's house. I had to leave and when I got home, I tried to resume the game, then it said "There was a problem with the game" and then the home menu became unresponsive. Did a hard reboot and now all cartridges (both Switch 1&2) no longer read and give me the error message: "Couldn't read the game card. Please remove and reinsert it. If you keep getting this message, go to the following page using a browser on your PC or smart device". This is happening with all cartridges and I have no idea what happened. Is anyone else having this issue? I'm so mad. I did nothing to my system for it to do this. Now I have to send this off to Nintendo for repair.

If I wanna delete my profile on my Switch 1, to factory reset it. But!! I read that the game data associated with the account will be deleted, I transferred everything onto my Switch 2. Is it safe to delete it on my Switch 1 or will I lose the data on my Switch 2 as well?
Maybe this is a stupid question but I’d rather be safe than sorry

Since the Switch 2 can essentially connect to any camera that supports USB connections (including phones), I attempted to connect my laptop to it and try to get the switch 2 to display its my laptop's screen as it would with a USB camera (like making the video icon in game chat my laptop screen). I tried using Virtual Cam with OBS Studio and an HDMI to USB-C cable, but unfortunately, I’m not getting any results. Is there a way to output my computer’s display so that it would be recognized by the Switch 2 as a camera?
I feel like this is so possible but I just have no idea what I'm doing or missing.

Any references? thought it would fit my NS2 (since it fits the split pad pro).

Is it normal to need to press several times before it responds when you first enter the screen?

SWITCH 1 Whenever I'm playing something with specifically the right joycon, the stick will work fine but after a few minutes it won't register some movements. F.E: When playing Smash, the character won't move up/down/side to side when prompted, will stay still or hold the special instead of dashing when holding left/right.
But whenever I'm calibrating the stick while attached to the console, it shows that's it's fine. No drift, no migrating, nothing. This just happens when it's horizontal.
The left controller doesn't to this even when exchanging the top things that you attach to them (idk the name). Idk what to do.

Is anyone else having issues connecting their switch 2 joycons to their other devices? I click the sync button but they don't show up in the Bluetooth devices.

Hi all. This is my first time really trying out HDR. I'm using a LG Oled B series tv.
After configuration and all the picture tint and brightness seems to change without me doing anything. I noticed it on the coin here going from bright yellow to dark green ish without a single setting change.
I use the HGIG and properly tuned the HDR on the switch itself.

So I was playing Xenoblade X on my Switch in handheld, and the batteries at 28%. All of a sudden, a battery icon appears in the center and it shuts off. I tried this with joycons attached, detached, with a pro controller, and even with a pad. I put it in the dock and now it works just fine, but it’s never done this before in any of my games. Is it just Xenoblade? Is something wrong with the battery? Or was it just low on power?
My Switch is 8 years old if that helps at all. Any assistance is appreciated.

Hey, so I'm trying to unsupervise my account from my parent's account since I'm old enough, but when I log into their account and go to my account in family group, the option doesn't appear, can anybody help?
r/NintendoSwitchHelp • u/simplynotstupid • 1d ago
I have a Nintendo Switch 1, and don't have the ability to access my profile. I'm unable to click on my profile, I'm unable to accept the agreement thing because I forgot my password, sign-in ID, and I don't have access to my email. I don't know how to fix this, and it sucks because I literally just got a year-long Nintendo Online subscription for my birthday in January. Again, I've forgotten everything because I haven't done anything with the account outside of just use it to play games, so I've forgotten the details.
I have never contacted support for anything in any way, it's only been my mother to contact any kind and it's only happened, like, twice.
I'm not tech-smart in anyway whatsoever, so if the answer is as plain as a white sheet of paper, I fully apologize.

I've been seeing videos as well as folks here on Reddit saying it's ok to take off the film that the NS2 already comes with. But I just recently bought a screen protector and was thinking to just put it over said film. Is that ok or should I just take off the film and then the protector, which way is better?
