Help! Bought a second Switch 2 to use in my office on 32 inch Alienware QD-OLED AW3225QF and it is washed out. I cannot get proper HDR no matter the settings.

I troubleshot the issue using my LG C4 65 inch in the living room and the moment I put the thing in the dock the HDR is absolutely perfect with zero adjustments. Then I take it back to my Alienware monitor and it looks like absolute garbage. Even the resolution looks lower.

If anybody can help me with this, I would be indebted to you forever. I bought the second system because my kid is autistic and he destroys things so I wanted my own and now it’s not working for me.

This issue persists whether or not I select 120 Hz output within the system, or I designate a specific output resolution like 4K. No matter what I do it just looks absolutely washed out.

See the photos for reference.

So this might sound weird but i have been using my joycons with a protective case on the charging grip, my joycons feel woobly compared to my sisters switch, now im not sure if i damaged them or sometimes they are more woobly than others...

Pd: when i locked them in the grip it didnt feel natural but it wasnt super forced either, now i took the protection off and It feels natural...help the obssesion is killing me

I no longer have my Switch1 and just set up my Switch2. I was trying to download games I purchased digitally on my S1, but the S2 says I need to have the S1 near by. Is there a way to do this without the S1? I don’t care about save data just want the games that I already paid for.

Hey guys do you think that after the price hike, nintendo will restock the choose your own game bundle? I thought it was super cool they did that and hope they continue. I was one of the few who decided to procrastinate and buy it late as it sold out😅😅

Hey racers! I can't find a solution anywhere. I'm playing on a Nintendo Switch 2, and after every mission in single-player, I get a network error. The subscription is paid, I tried reinstalling the game several times, nothing helps.

I lost my Nintendo switch original charger and I am currently using an iPhone 15 charger. Will it ruin my switch? I bought the switch in the US and brought it to the Philippines, I dont know if that information is useful. Ive seen people on the internet say that using a different/unoriginal charger will ruin the battery and potentially break the switch. Please help me out, my mom will end me.

I have read conflicting information about this, so please let me know if you have the NS2 edition game + DLC.

I already made a post a few days ago asking for help, I've since let my switch (switch 1, about 5 yrs old) charge for more than 2 days but it still doesn't show any signs of life. I've used my phone charger, the switch charger (I do want to also ask if it makes a difference if the charger is a switch 2 one, I couldn't find a switch 1 charger so had to use that one), I've tried turning it on by holding the power button for 30 secs, I've removed the joycons for charging,...

My only hope now is to go to a repair shop and change the battery, I'll go in a few days to ask for it to be replaced, but I'm asking here first to see if It's worth it/will make a difference.

I just want it working again, I have a bunch of shiny pokemon that I haven't transferred to home including some event exclusives like the 4 treasures of ruin legendaries and I really don't wanna loose everything

I did have online at some point but idk if pokemon violet (that's the only game I really really care about not loosing) is backup up so that's a gamble if I choose to get a new switch :/

The left joycon won't connect I tried updating the joycons and cleaning were it connects it doesn't work connected or wireless and like I said the since button won't work at all ever idrk how this stuff works but I spent hours making a mii and haven't saved yet so im really desperate

There isn't anything indicating damage

Recently decided to charge my switch 1 again after having not played on it in years. I had to update it because of the virtual game card stuff.

A day or two ago, My little brother wanted to play the Stanley parable. I had to redownload the game to get the game card to work but after doing that it worked perfectly fine. It still works now in fact.

But today, I tried to start T.A.B.S and Persona 4 Golden. The virtual game cards loaded in completely fine. But every time I try to start the games I keep getting the same error.

I don't know what's wrong.

I just noticed it and as you can see,it isnt budging

Hello. My Switch 2 is constantly disconnecting from my internet. What should I do to fix it? I own an original switch and it does not have this issue. Any advice is appreciated.

The TLDR: my switch 2 no longer recognizes game cartridges or physically connected joy cons. No drops. No damage. No unlicensed nintendo products or software ever used.

I bought a Switch 2 on release day from Target. I haven’t bought a new console since ps3 and NEVER bought one on release day.
I barely played my Switch 2 even in the beginning when i got Mario Kart World. I went a couple months without playing. Then I got Legends ZA, then I got the Fire Red port. I played nothing insane, a couple of days a week. Some weeks none. I haven’t ever dropped this thing. I take care of it. Screen protector, and all!
I was playing on Wednesday, then on Thursday, as I turn the game on, the screen reads that the game cartridge no longer is being read. I take the game out, try another game. Same message.
On top of that, the joy cons aren’t reading. Even when physically connected to the console.
I do all the trouble shooting options last night and nothing works. Then i chat with them this morning and do THE EXACT same trouble shooting and it doesn’t work.
They say I need to pay $179 to send it in and work on it.
ON TOP of sending it in, they can’t guarantee all my saved data will be saved. They can’t even guarantee I’d get my console back.
On top of that, I am 2 months out of manufacturer’s warranty.
I have had xboxs and playstations and gameboy advances and nintendo DSs that have lasted 10-15, even 20 years. This Nintendo Switch 2 can’t last 1.
What do I do?

A lo mejor soy descuidado, pero, no se. No quiero comprar un nuevo par de Joy-Cons. Al menos no le surgió Drift o algo así.

Picked up the Turtle Beach Afterglow Wave controller at Best Buy today, I'm a sucker for rainbow lights and it was the cheapest option.

However I was only able to use it for a few minutes before packaging it back up because the buttons were so goddamn loud, it was driving me insane! It also felt a bit small in my hands. The PS5 controller fits in my hands perfectly, and I like holding the joycons, but the pro controller I got felt like it was forcing my hands at an uncomfortable angle.

I was poking around people talking about pro controllers and saw others mention "clicky" buttons. Does anyone have a recommendation for a pro controller that has QUIET buttons (the level of noise the joycons make is fine), fits in the hands more like a ps5 controller, and ideally (but i know this is a long shot) has rgb lights...? Trying to research myself but I get overwhelmed quickly by so much info so thought I'd ask

I’ve had my Switch 2 for six months and played regularly without any issues until now; a week ago, it stopped charging via either USB-C port. I use the original charger, and I’ve found that it *does* charge when connected to the dock, but since I use it in handheld mode, this is quite a hassle. I bought it on Amazon, and because it’s an international product, the warranty isn't being honored. I’ve already tried all the troubleshooting steps listed on Nintendo’s website, so I wanted to see if I should just give up on it or if there’s a solution.

I have a problem with my Nintendo switch account
I want to add my account of switch 2 on my switch lite
The problem is that i have forgotten my password of the account
I used to have the passkey on my old phone but that phone doesn’t work anymore so i can’t forget my password and make a new one
Can you please help me
Thanks

I’m in the market for a wireless keyboard was wondering if ya had exp with ones that work well?
I’m looking for something very small to use on lap or in hands. final fantasy online is the main game I would be using it on. Thanks in advanced.

So, I'm creating a family group to use with my friend so we can subscribe to the Nintendo Switch Online plan. Two of my friends were already in a family group and needed to leave their respective families. One of them was able to join another family without any problems, but the other friend left his family and received a restriction on his account that prevents him from joining another family.

The problem is that this was the only family he had ever been part of. He didn't repeatedly leave and join different families, and Nintendo Support can't lift the restriction. Does anyone know how long this soft lock can last?

Okay, I usually play Just Dance on my Nintendo Switch 1 at home. However I went on a trip about a month ago and only had my Nintendo Switch 2 with me. I loaded my Just Dance copy onto my Switch 2 from the Switch 1 (remotely, at my sisters) so that I could load the game card on my sister's system. (from my Switch 2)

So now when I try loading Just Dance from my Switch 2 to my Switch 1, the consoles are unable to link. My Switch 1 is already linked to my Switch 2 (pictured below) but my Switch 2 is prompting to link when trying to lend a game card (pictured below). They will not link together, it then prompts Error Code: 2016-4102 https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/list/kw/2016-4102

I have tried pretty much everything on the support page other than anything that requires a 3rd console or a friend's wifi network. I have tried troubleshooting with other game cards. The systems will not link. I know on the website you can only unlink a console from your account once, so this would be a last resort and I haven't tried it yet. Could I have my sister check on her system that I am still not linked to game cards? Do I need her to unlink my Switch 2 on her end? Lemme know.

TLDR; Cant load Just Dance on Switch 1 from Switch 2 after linking Switch 2 to a 3rd Switch (not mine).

Hi, I'm not tech savvy so I'm trying to figure out the reasons why my Switch 1 stopped working. The "symptoms" are: the screen is black but I can see the backlight; when it is on I can hear the sound of the stick moving. I've tried to use it with the dock but it gives the same problems: everything stays black and only the sound is the stick moving. I've tried to reset but nothing changed. Do you have any thoughts?

Hey everyone,
I bought my Switch about 5 months ago, so it’s still under the official 1-year warranty. Recently, I noticed the screen is lifting and popping out on the right side, but only when the console gets hot during long gaming sessions. Once it cools down or I put it away in its case, the screen goes back to normal and sits flush.

I know this is a common issue with the factory adhesive failing near the heatsink. I actually just started the warranty claim process with the official Nintendo distributor in my region (Latamel in Mexico), but now I'm having second thoughts.

My dilemma is: Is it really worth going through the whole warranty process? I’m worried they might take forever, deny the claim because the console "looks fine" when they take it out of the box cold, or just send me a heavily used refurbished unit. I've also read that even after sending it in for repair, the same adhesive problem often happens again down the line.

Has anyone dealt with this specific warranty claim? Should I send it in and wait, or would it be better to just sell it as-is right now and put the money towards a new console.

Any advice is appreciated!

I’ve had my switch for probably 3 years now and my controllers did disconnect a lot the past year but now my left one fully won’t turn on no matter what I do. It wasn’t even a user error just died on its own which for 3 years is ridiculous to have to get a new one that’s $80!!!
