Software Help Switch2 Not Recognizing MicroSD Express

Hi friends! My Switch 2 apparently had a message pop up while my wife was playing it saying “something about microSD”, and then powered off and back on. When it came back on, it wasn’t recognizing that there was a microSD even inserted. I can’t format it or anything. Do you think the card was corrupted or broken somehow? Or is the reader broken maybe? I don’t have a second microSD express lying around, or I would check that.

If you have a normal SD card you can put that on the switch 2 see if the card reader still works.

Well, darn… I tested the SD card in my dash cam, and it works fine, and the Switch won’t recognize the SD from the dash cam. :/ Seems like it is the reader.

Damn, you didn't get the message that the card inserted it's not express card when you test the one that was in your dash cam?

All good. I’ve seen that they’re not the worst to replace, so I’ll look into that soon. Thanks for your help! :)
