After being lost for over a year, this bad boy was found in my side garden by my lawnmower this morning.

Was face down and impossible to see in the long grass. Had cut it several times since losing it.

Absolutely sickened.

Anywho, does anyone have any experience fixing something so waterlogged and broken? Do I have any chance?
Mainly just want to transfer game save data over to my switch 2 from it.

Update;
Tronicsfix has reached out willing to try fix this! I have sent this morning (01/06/26). So, if anyone’s interested in watching him bring this bad boy back to life, keep an eye out on his channel!

My console was banned for what seems like no clear reason. Nintendo didn’t specify why—it was just a generic message referring me to the EULA agreement.

The only thing I can think of is that I have a friend’s account on my Switch for Nintendo Switch Online. He recently got a message saying his account might’ve been hacked. When he confirmed to Nintendo that he wasn’t changing his password or doing anything suspicious, they may have linked that to my console.

Now my console is banned. I don’t have a MIG cartridge or any kind of modding installed, so this came out of nowhere. I’m just wondering if that situation with my friend’s account could be the reason. Nintendo won’t give me any real explanation, and I feel completely left in the dark.

The funny thing is that we are on the same nintendo online expansion pack group

Has anyone experienced something similar?

So I left my switch 2 in my case overnight and upon opening it today I noticed the fact that it's completely changed color. This is not a blue light filtered protector and it did not look like this yesterday. It's tempered glass and I know it's the protector that changed colour because you can see the sides of the protector is distinctively blue as well as the corners of the switch 2 screen not being coloured and still looking normal. But yeah I don't know what the hell this is, the switch 2 was definitely in sleep mode when I placed it inside the case so it couldn't have been some kind of overheating either.

What do I do? The spring broke off while I was playing Mario Kart. I moved my thumb (albeit a little violently, it was a hard turn), and the joycon cap just broke off. Ugh

I made a post about 2 days ago when found a switch 2 with no joycons or doc for 10 dollars and wanted to know if I could get past the set up screen without joycons, I have a pro controller and know from my friends that have the switch 2 that they can connect to it so figured I would just play with that until I wanted to buy the joycons. The answer is no I ended up buying them anyway from a thrift store for 80. A lot of people think I stole it and I understand why but bro I got finals I ain't got time to steal stuff 😭 I found it at a bin store (stores that buy returned goods from big companies) the only reason I went was because my mom wanted me to go with her. After all, they can have some shady people sometimes, she was the one that found it in a bag that was opaque and made it hard to tell what it was the only reason I found out it was a switch was the red and blue on the sides. You can see the bag in the 2nd picture which is how it looked right out of the bag, idk if that bag is how it comes in the box but that's how I found it the first picture is one I took this morning I was able to claim Mario Kart for free which means someone didn't even turn it on, my best guess is someone bought it to swap out the joycons or something and returned it, I have no clue how it got there but I'm the lucky bastard who bought it, I never planned on buying it until the new pokemon generation came out but I couldn't pass it up, I plan on giving my OLED to my gf we're coming up on 1 year and she wants to play pokemon and doesn't have anything to play games on besides her school lap top and phone so we can play more games, I'm planning on giving it to her in February cuz our anniversary is the day before Valentines and her birthday is a week later so my wallet is gonna run thin for awhile 😅

If anyone is interested I attached a photo of the store below they're called "Mega Furniture Galleries"

Hi everyone, so my 2 year old managed to get a hold of a permanent marker tonight while I was making dinner, what’s the best way to remove it without damaging my switch? Any help would be appreciated, thank you!

So i have about 40 hours on my Nintendo Switch 2. 99% of that has been docked. I undocked it today to use in a different room. On the home screen this issue in the video does not happen. If i load a game, or go onto the E-shop this happens. It does NOT happen whilst docked. Reboots has not resolved.

Anybody know if this is simply a hardware fault and im going to have to go down the repair or replace route?

Cheers

It kept turning off at around 15-20% so I tried fixing it the way they Nintendo website instructed but this morning it was at 1% so I put it to charge again, it charged incredibly fast and it drained as soon as I pulled out the charger. It also wasn't charging in the dock until now.

My 2017 switch, almost a decade old and beaten down by years of use. Recently i noticed the back bulging out, guessing it’s the battery? Console still works fine, i kinda have to shove it into the dock but no issues with using it. I don’t really want to put money into fixing this when the switch 2 is available, but i can’t afford to buy one yet. Is there any actual danger to keep using this for now?

EDIT: K based on the comments, I can see that this thing is not worth the trouble and I should deal with that as soon as possible. It’s currently sitting in my driveway, separated from everything. There is nowhere nearby that I can take it to have it safely disposed of. What am I supposed to do with it?

Unfortunately my brother accidentally ran my Switch Lite through the washer and now it doesn’t work. Can anyone recommend some tips on how to fix it? It doesn’t appear to charge anymore and won’t turn on ☹️ thank you

I just bought my switch 2 today and it came with this, why

I turned on my switch today to find Mario kart world deleted form my switch. The icon is still on my Home Screen but the virtual game card is not in my switch and it doesn’t even pop up inside of the virtual game card tab. When I go to the eshop it says I have to purchase it even though I got the version of the switch that came with the game. Do you guys know how to fix this?

I traded in my original switch right as I picked up the new one, but I forgot about transferring the data before doing so. I don’t Online so I don’t have cloud save, so I lost all of my progress in every games. I can’t believe I made such a mistake, any suggestions to better my situation? Thanks.

So yeah got it today, then this started happening when I plugged it in to begin the system transfer. It starts small the gradually grows over the screen. When I put it in sleep mode it goes away and returns to normal… for a few minutes before it begins again. Anyone know how to fix?

The employee at Best Buy told me it wasnt worth the $80 warranty but 2 weeks later the $210 price estimate sending it into nintendo for repair is making that warrenty look mad regrettable. Im scared of local repair shops accidentally misstepping and locking my switch permanently, do I have to put my tail between my legs and just pay the price or any suggestions for mainline companies that will be reliable? Any advice would be wonderful, thank you :).

Legitimate post, I genuinely have 0 clue why this is happening.

On my phone, my airpods are listed as (Name)’s Airpods. For some strange reason, on my switch its names butt cheeks. I genuinely don’t know how to change the name and how it even got that name.

I did what google said but it didn’t do anything.

Ok quick story: so I went on my switch this afternoon at I was going to play Minecraft (I’ve bought it in the store not like game card) anyway everything says I have to insert game card WHEN I DONT HAVE THE GAME CARD and I’m really sad 😔 so if anyone can help or give a quick explanation I would be very grateful as this is my only console thanks all

I was cleaning out my room and found this gift card, already scratched off. I figured before throwing it out, I might as well check to see if it still had the money on it. It does. I don't know if I never got around to putting the money on my switch, and I don't remember the last time I bought something on the switch. While I don't want to lose out on $50, I certainly don't want to steal $50 from someone else.

Maybe I’m just behind the times on the Switch 2 and maybe this has been rehashed ad nauseum. Got ours a few months ago and got hit with this message while playing TOTK. It’s a physical copy and the system is telling me to I need to connect because my time limit is almost up? This is my primary system, it’s a factory Switch 2 and Zelda, and there are no parental settings set up. My issue is that I’m at sea for the next week and can’t get internet on the Switch 2. Just curious what’s up with this. Thanks!

I was just trying to play a game, until this message popped up. What could I have even done to get this message?

He bought a couple years back. Is there anywhere I can get a replacement part or joycon?? Our 5-year-olds gets to play Minecraft 20 minutes a day and he was trying to get the joy-con out of the controller and a completely snapped. I was in the same room it just happened so fast!
