I was playing ff7 remake on handheld mode when suddenly the game glitched and crashed changing the colors like a static old tv. I turn it off and on and it was fine but I stopped playing. Today my switch 2 doesn’t turn on, I’ve tried letting it charge solo and pressing the button 15 sec and then 5 seconds and it hasn’t worked. As you can see in the video the light when I put it in the dock lights up for a second before vanishing. Help me please!

Hello I left the switch on sleep mode and not been playing for over a month, when I tried charging it, this happened. I already checked all the methods people recommend online like holding the power button for 20 seconds, whenever I hold the power button the Nintendo Logo shows up.

I read online that the problem here is that the switch is trying to boot up with the remaining power left. I should hold the power button to leave the screen black and wait for it to charge.

It never stays black for me and I don’t know what to do. Please help.

My Switch was charging in the dock and it fell, is the yellow/green halo normal? Because it's not there when the theme is white. Please help.

Hey,

I just got the Switch 2 EU v2 with the easier to open/replace Battery and I was wondering if putting a 1.7mm card could fit so the Switch 2 has FindMy enabled

Doubt anyone ever steals my switch but it's just for safety and since it's much easier to open, why not

Would try it but I'm just asking if anyone has maybe tried something similar or if it's even "safe" to do as it could maybe interfere with the bluetooth for both devices or so?

Just curious!

So, I have this Pokémon Scarlet and Violet Nintendo Switch I barely use nowadays. I've been thinking of selling it but the screen has a slight scratch and one of the joycons is missing some plastic under the stick and doesn't stay on the rail that well.

How much should I sell it for?

Do note: I still have the original dock in good condition and the charging cable but the HDMI is missing, and I do not think I have the box anymore.

Pretty much what the title says.

I let my switch die all the way in order to keep the battery as healthy as possible so im using it at extremely low percents.

Sometimes, and mostly on the home screen, it will just freeze up completely for a solid 20 or so seconds.

It ONLY happens at like 20% or lower though.

Is anyone else having this issue?

Im not sure exactly how it broke since unfortunately one of my cousins snuck into my room and was messing around with my stuff, I can't find the thing that goes over it, I dont want to send it anywhere and if someone could help with what to do/where to find a replacement part itd be greatly appreciated!

I have a Nintendo Switch 2 docked and hooked up to an ASUS gaming monitor (VG27AQL3A). The issue I'm experiencing is happening in Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave, which is my first and only Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive game. I have not had this issue in the few Nintendo Switch 1 games I've played with this same setup.

The issue is this: when the screen fades to black as part of a loading screen transition in Fortune's Weave, my monitor will stay black and the game will continue running. In other words, it doesn't fade back in. I can still hear the game and it still receives my controller input. I'm unable to pull up my monitor's menu when it's like this. To fix it, I undock and redock the Switch 2, effectively restarting the video output. Curiously, having my monitor's menu open while going into an issue-prone transition will prevent the issue from happening.

Examples of loading screen transitions I've had the issue happen on: transitions between dialogue scenes, entering clash battles, training at the arena, fast-traveling around Dagsion, and entering temples. It happens most consistently when entering Kalla's Temple, so that's been my testing ground.

It doesn't always do it. Sometimes it seems like it only does it after the game has been running for a little bit, e.g. sometimes I can enter Kalla's Temple once without it happening and then the next time onward it will. But I've also had it happen immediately when loading my save file from the title screen-- instant black screen upon loading into the Obelisk Chamber.

I've been through all the standard troubleshooting steps with a Nintendo support agent with no success. I've also tried resetting my monitor's settings to default, which actually stopped the issue completely for about half a day until it started happening again. I've never seen a problem with this kind of mysterious behavior.

Worst of all, my brother has the exact same setup-- same console, same game, same model of monitor-- and he has not experienced this issue even once. Is my monitor defective? But how could it be triggered by events in a game? It's so strange. I haven't been able to find anything online about an issue like this.

What else can I do to troubleshoot? Any idea what could be producing this strange interaction? It's been very frustrating because I want to play this game on my nice big monitor and speakers, but I keep missing things happening behind the black screen and having to redock the Switch every few minutes.

Hi!
My roommate is sick and since they’re stuck in their room, I want to allow them to play with my switch, but it’s important I don’t get sick from them. Is there any safe way to sanitize a Switch (1) that won’t damage screen/buttons?
I’ve tried looking at other threads and some folks said Clorox bleach wipes, but that doesn’t seem safe for electronics, is it?

You’re supposed to be able to use the File management system in the launcher on the Switch 2 by pressing + on the launcher menu. However, even though all 3 parts are out now there is still no option to actually do that. Is it because Warzone isn’t out yet? Anyone know why this doesn’t work or what Activision has said. I just want 6v6 installed.

Maybe I'm just being a bit more hyper aware but it feels like a louder humming sound is coming from the switch as soon as I boot it up. Usually I notice practically zero sound but now I can hear it from across the room when it's quiet enough. It sounds like a very quiet fan close up but when you move away it is more like a very faint distant generator or water pump. This happens just from being on the home screen. Is this normal or should I check for something to be certain? Putting it in sleep mode makes it suddenly go completely silent.

I have my pro controller plugged in 24/7 in my switch. I have had it for like 6 years now like that. Recently returned to playing on the switch after 2 years of not touching it because I got an itch to play pokemon. Issue is that my pro controller keeps disconnecting every like 10 minutes or so for like 3-8 seconds long. Now in leafgreen and brilliant diamond this isn't really an issue since the games are turn based, but I want to play legends arceus and that game has dark souls boss fights if I've heard correctly, so the controller disconnecting is going to be a huge issue.

Does anyone know what causes my controller to disconnect like that and how I could fix it?

Are there any good third party joycons with good ergonomics but where you can lock the backbutton?

Most seem to have a back button but you can't lock them

Seems weird. This is on a Switch 1 btw, idk if the switch 2 has the same limitation.

I've seen a couple when I was searching but they all have a hump.

Also needs to be compatible with the wrist straps, which I have seen one where the reviews say they weren't.

Around a month ago, my switch 1 wouldn't turn on. No drops or anything. I took it to a repair shop, but the guy said it was a motherboard problem that he couldn't fix. I have years of data on the switch, and I really hope I can get it back.

I ordered the physical Switch 2 version of Final Fantasy Resonance from The Game Collection and got my pre order code. I redeemed it in the store and instantly got a second tile on my Home Screen.

Have I been given a code for the Switch 1 version? See attached images.

Hi everyone,
I'm playing My Universe: Interior Designer on Nintendo Switch. In decoration mode, the exit icon has disappeared, so I can't save my progress. The game doesn't seem to auto-save either, and I'm worried about losing a lot of work.
What I've already tried:
Switching between decoration and renovation mode (L/R)
Moving the character to the door and into other rooms
Opening the pause menu (+)
Restarting the game and the console
Checking for updates
Checking for corrupted data in the data management
Nothing helped. Has anyone had the same bug or knows a fix? Any way to force a save would be great.
Thanks!

I bought the switch 2 today, and I already had tears of the kingdom on my switch 1.

But when I try to buy the upgrade, it show me this screen saying "your browser is incompatible with 3-D secure authentification" and "If the left part doesn't show up correctly,. Try to refill your account with another bank card or by accessing the adress from a computer or a connected device".

Recently my switch had been turning itself on and opening up the menu. I assumed I had stick drift or something as I hadn’t used it in a while however after checking the sticks there’s nothing wrong with it. I tried a system update and controller update and that seemed to fix it for a little while. I tried playing last night and mid game it started pressing random buttons but what weirded me out was it would go to home and close application before opening the sleep mode menu.

Anyone know what the hell is going on with it?

My switch dock randomly stopped working today. I have no idea why. It worked completely fine yesterday but now it just doesn't seem to want to work anymore. I have zero clue what could've went wrong. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello!

I’m looking to purchase a dockable Switch 2 grip. My hands are pretty big, and had the skull and co grip for my switch 1 and loved it, but it couldn’t be docked. Any suggestions would be awesome!

Thanks!

Hi my Xenoblade 2 pro controller is stuck at 1% when I updating its been at least more then 15 minutes and I've already tried on both my switch 1 and 2 and disabling wired connections but to no avail, not sure if it has to do with my controller ageing or buying a Japanese import cause it was cheaper than the US version, but if you have any ideas I'd greatly appreciate it

Wanted to know if this is a thing i can possibly do, because I've had trouble transferring data into my new switch thanks to the "link nintendo account" button not showing up. This is probably because I had my old account linking to a family plan as a child account for a while. Regardless I've been trying to transfer the data for ages at this point. Just thinking of this different method.

Hello people! I'm wondering if I can buy the physical Silksong cartridge for a Nintendo Switch Lite? Since in the official fangamer page for Silksong said that the cartridge for Nintendo 2 can work for the Nintendo, but I wonder if the cartridge can work for the Nintendo switch lite?
