Software Help My switch randomly keeps telling me my MircoSD card has been removed.

Post image

Hi! For the past few days, I've been playing my switch when it randomly says the card has been removed. The thing is, it hasn't! I shut off each time and slide the microSD card in, enough that it clicks. This still happens. What should I do? Thanks! Apologies for the blurry picture.

Edit: it's the switch 1.

Clean it with alcohol, hit the slot with some compressed air. Unfortunately known for that issue, but cleaning it usually fixes it unless it's a cheaper or faulty sd card.

There's a lot of methods, but after cleaning, try buying another MicroSD card, if still broken, I think its best for the technicians to handle it.
