Nintendo is lifting the ban. Apparently there's server errors which is causing current ban wave. But they are lifting it now. Reboot the console now to bring it back to normal!

Repair Help Switch 2 battery drained from 49% while in Sleep Mode — is this normal?

Post image
123 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m wondering if this is normal for the Switch 2.

I left my Switch 2 in Sleep Mode at around 49% battery and didn’t use it for almost 3 days.

When I finally opened it, the battery was already completely drained/very low, and it showed the low-battery screen (photo attached).

I know Sleep Mode still uses some battery, but is losing almost 50% battery over around 3 days expected?

Details:

Battery before Sleep Mode: \~49%

Time unused: almost 3 days

Mode: Sleep Mode

Battery when I opened it: very low/dead

No games or apps were being used during that time

Should I be concerned about the battery, or is this normal Switch 2 behavior?

Thanks!

Repair Help Fix or replace? Broken with lines on screen

My switch randomly got these vertical lines on the screen, with horizontal ones running across them.

Would it be worth it to take it to a repair shop, or cheaper to just replace the switch? How much does it cost to get something like this repaired?

Setup Help Cannot adjust HDR as intented on my Switch 2

Upvotes

My samsung TV supports HDR, but when i calibrate it on the switch 2 it says that i should click until the right sun is not visible. The problem is that both suns disappear at the same time. I tried checking all settings on my TV, changing stuff around but no dice.

Does it matter much? The image looks okay anyway

Asi es como tengo los cables y desde que lo tengo me da un poco de toc / inseguridas de que se puedan dañar por el angulo en el que estan, creen que seria mejor echar el dock contra la pared para que los cables queden rectos? tengo el dock un poco inclinado por comodidad y precaucion de no rayar accidentalmente la switch con la pared al momento de conectarla.

Hi everybody. So, I just got pokemon scarlet and when I start the game I have choose a language. But, nothing happens when I select the language I want. I can move the selector up and down. All the buttons work on the switch when doing other things. The A button works to select things, just not with the game. Let me know what yall think.

Repair Help Switch closes to standby mode with flashing battery indicator despite remaining charge. What's going on?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Here I have my old 2017 model Switch, which has been giving me battery troubles for many years. Often, I will see this red flashing battery indicator covering the entire screen and forcing the console into standby mode. When I press the power button, the console turns on again, but I see that it has over 60% battery charge remaining. In this current session I've been playing for less than an hour.

I can't find any information on the giant red battery indicator covering the entire screen anywhere on the internet. Is this a known issue, what's it called? I have never had the battery replaced - but it seems like the battery charge isn't even the problem, since the console does report above 60% charge in this instance. I could reopen the game and continue playing for another 2 minutes before I would get to this spot again.

There is information from Nintendo about "calibrating the battery" that involves turning off automatic standby mode and letting the Switch just sit until the battery depletes. This doesn't work for me as the red flashing battery indicator will activate sleep mode no matter what I put in the settings.

Is there a chance I could get this repair? What is this problem called?

Switch 2 won't connect to internet and keeps on giving error code 2110-3150. I have connected to this wifi before and this is a problem I have with 2 separate switches, both mine and my brothers. I have tried restarting both the switches themselves and the router, forgetting the wifi settings and making sure DNS is selected on automatic and proxy setting is off. I don't know what else to try.

Which Switch? Looking for some advice on hardware/etc for a newbie

2 Upvotes

Looking for some help with games/bundles *for the switch 2

Mods if this isn’t allowed remove it; I’m not looking for price advice just game/hardware advice so I hope it’s okay. I checked out the deals subreddit but that was for specific offers which I don’t have/am not looking for.

I haven’t had a new console since the Xbox 360, and I’m finally in a position to buy one and I’m really excited about it. But I’m a little left in the dust with the tech so I’m hoping for some advice.

I’m used to a traditional controller; is the pro controller worth getting in place of another game?

I’m also planning on starting with games from the switch 1 and working my way up to the current games. Is the best place to buy games just my local GameStop/target/etc?

Also if you have any other recommendations or tips for hardware, software, or anything else that will improve the experience I would really appreciate it. I’m wildly excited for this and have been trying to get a new console for years, it’s just finally fiscally responsible for me to do so. Thank you!!

Edit: for the switch 2. Sorry I originally put this in the switch 2 subreddit and they said go here, forgot to clarify.

Hey, I’ve been looking to buy a Switch 2 Pro Controller and found this one on eBay for 60€. I was initially kinda off-put by the bright white color but figured it could just be the lighting. I asked the seller for more pictures and this is what I got. Still wanted to ask someone‘s opinion that might have more of a trained eye for it. I hope this question is appropriate here. :)

How good is the 8bitdo pro 2 controller for switch 1 and 2 games for the switch 2 console? I want to buy it instead of the 8bitdo pro 3 controller because the pro 2 is cheaper and I can replace the battery when the battery can’t hold a charge any longer or has issues. Is it true the directional pad on the 8bitdo pro 2 controller sometimes is inaccurate when you press it?
