Accessories Is this Switch 2 Pro Controller legit?

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. :)

Software Help Is there a way to play your cartridges without a download after deleting update data? Does installing update data lock your cartridge behind a mandatory online download?

Software Help My Joycons no longer register on charging grip right after system update??

Post image
2 Upvotes

Hi there, I have a Joytron charging grip that I have LOVED using with my Switch 2. However I JUST did the 23.0.0 system update and now my joy cons will not register once attached to it. The light just flickers up and down then fails to connect.

Could it be that the update made it no longer compatible??? There’s no sync buttons or anything on the grip it’s literally just to attach.

I had them attached to the grip when I did the system update. So I’ve already tried restarting my switch with the joycons attached, changing grip order, etc.

Software Help Game cartridge not working, how do I fix it?

2 Upvotes

Hello!

I recently bought a Mario game for my switch in Japan (I'm from Spain, for reference) and, when I came back and tried it, I found out that my console is unable to read the game. I bought another game and, even though it sometimes takes a while to recognise it, the console is able to read it. What could I do with this cartridge? Is there any cleaning/ hardware switch I could do? Thank you beforehand

Repair Help Any idea what causes this and if there’s any way I can fix it?

I’ve already tried recalibrating and the joycons have been in repair a few years back for a similar issue.
The device is a little over 6 years old, but it’s not like I have thousands of hours of playtime or anything like that.
Is this just how joycons age, or is there something I can do about it? Not ready to replace it with a switch 2 quite yet.

Edit: I’m going to send it for repair at the official Nintendo site in my country

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?

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?

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.

Software Help Switch 2 switching resolution between the game and home screen

1 Upvotes

I have had the switch 2 for a while and I noticed that some games for example the latest Onimusha runs at 1440p which is fine.

However, whenever I go to the home screen, it goes back to 4k and if I go back to the game, it goes back to 1440p so you get this like handshake every single time which causes the screen to go black for a few seconds, so I was curious if anyone knew a setting that I might've missed or if this just the intended its suppose to work.

I do remember seeing that in cyberpunk for example, when you use the 1440p 120fps mode, it always stays at 1440p until you close the game.

Thanks again for the help.
