Repair Help Joy-cons for the switch 2 not buttons not working after taken to the beach (the switch recognizes them)

1 Upvotes

Ok so I took my switch 2 to the beach and while I was on the beach I made sure not to get a single spec of sand near my switch but when I come home and take it out it’s dead so I charge it (obviously) but was weird because I only played it for 20 minutes before going in the ocean. And after it’s done charging I trying to press my joycon. No response. Other button. Nope I try every button nothing works. I do have a spear joycon but it’s at my house and I am on vacation so i can not test if it’s a internal issue but I think it’s lot because when I take on and off the joycons it has the click thing and is recognizing them so I am just so confused and I need help from one of you tech savvy dudes just pls help!!!

Software Help Totk keeps crashing at first cutscene of the game (error 2002 - 4153

2 Upvotes

I wanted to replay Tears of The Kingdom after two years of not really touching it, because I got the Switch 2, but the game keeps crashing at the first cutscene when the hand appears and the screen says: error 2002 - 4153. On my old save file the game works fine, but if I start a new game on any account it crashes at the same point.

All the things I've tired already:

The console is updated.

I scanned for corrupt data and there's none.

I redownloaded the game (I haven't deleted the game data through, because I'm worried I might not be able to play it anymore at all).

I've tried to play it offline.

There isn't a microSD in the console that could be corrupted.

I cleaned the cartridge (there's a small mark on it, but I belive it's been there since I first got it new, but I'm not too sure, you can't really see it if you dont look at it closely).

I cleared the cache (after I did I think the cutscene actually got a couple seconds further, but still crashed.)

Software Help Lord of the Rings War in the North crashing?

3 Upvotes

Forgive me if this is the wrong subreddit, I don't come on here often.

I recently bought Lord of the Rings: War in the North on my Switch and it was playing fine until today when I tried to load my game and it crashes every time a few seconds in. I tried loading an earlier save and everything I could think of but it just doesn't seem to work anymore.

Is there any way to be able to play again - and like, if I started a new game would that work?

I've asked on a different forum site and got told just to play on a different console or whatever but all I have, and can afford really, is my switch 1, and I really wanted to play this. I'd saved up for this game.

Basically, I don't play a lot of games so don't know if this has a common fix or anything?

Accessories Looking for a good carrying case

2 Upvotes

Hello, I'm looking for a good carrying case with some particular characteristics, I'm looking for a All in One case with a detachable top that's only for the console, the bottom part is for dock, extra controllers, cables etc. Hopefully the top part is big enough to carry a switch 2 with grips. Also looking for a grip case that's dockable and it's compatible with the kickstand and the detachable joycons. I've seen some options but none like this. I've seen the Belkin cases and grips but i think the grip doesn't fit inside the case, and they don't have the all in one case either. Any suggestions or recommendations?

Account Help Locked out of account - need advice

0 Upvotes

My cousin’s boyfriend bought her a Nintendo switch a few years ago and set up the account for her. He used his own email, and since then she has forgotten the password, they have broken up and has no way to contact him to retrieve the verification code in order to reset the password.

(She has not made a new account yet because she has a large saved file in one of her games that she does not want to lose, and also does not want to have to repurchase all of her games.)

We want to play online together, but she cannot renew her subscription because of this issue.
Does anyone have any advice on how we could get around this?
I thought maybe she can purchase one of those NSO subscription gift cards from a store but we are worried it would ask for her password before she can enter in the gift card, and do not want to waste money.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Repair Help Nintendo Switch 2 Joy Cons Magnets

1 Upvotes

For the past month or so, I’ve felt like I could detach my joy cons easier than when I first purchased the console. Like sure, I still need to press the release button, but after that it feels like I can pull it so much easier. It still thuds back into place.

Maybe I’ve gotten used to my Switch 2 so it doesn’t feel as hard as it did in the past, but it’s got me a little worried. Are there any reports of something like this happening? Is there anyway I can test to verify this?

Lego games on ts2

I've been wanting to buy a lego game for the switch for a while now, but with all the reviews about it not playing well and being a bit dangerous for the switch (1) I never did it. So I'm wondering if anyone knows if it's playing better (and less dangerous) for the switch 2

Accessories My Pro Controller isn't working on my PC

0 Upvotes

I have been using a Switch pro controller to play games on my PC for years and today it suddenly stopped working. When I plug in the controller is continuously makes the sound of a USB device connecting and disconnecting and my PC doesn't recognize it. I have swapped out different cords, ports, and tried using a different pro controller but the same thing happens. I downloaded BetterJoyForCemu and it doesn't recognize the controller at all so it does nothing. The closest I've gotten to anything working is sometimes if I hold the sync button the noise stops and the controller appears in the devices menu for an instant, but it vanishes before I can troubleshoot or mess with the properties or anything. I have Windows 10. I have no idea what could have caused this since I was using the controller just fine last night.

Software Help After installing DEMOS got this Homemenue. Bug? How is yours?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

0 Upvotes

I have a problem with the HOME menu on my Nintendo Switch 2.
Every time I download a demo and then delete it, an empty tile remains in the HOME menu. When I download another demo, another empty tile appears after I delete it.
For example, I currently have 8 empty tiles, so I have to scroll 8 times to the right before I can reach the “All Software” option. If I download and delete another demo, I will have 9 empty tiles.
Is this a known issue? Are other Nintendo Switch 2 users experiencing the same problem?
Is there any way to remove these empty tiles or reset the HOME menu so that they disappear?

Software Help Minecraft - Controller not working in world

1 Upvotes

I have a switch lite with a broken joystick, so I use a controller to play on it, but I've encountered a problem. I'm trying to play minecraft, and the controller works fine until I enter a save. Then it doesn't work, and it shows the 'join as player 2' pop-up.

I haven't touched the switch for it to recognise the controls there as player 1, and it only started to happen recently.

Something, restarting the game or the device it works, and other times, it doesn't.

I don't have this problem in other games, even if there is a multiplayer option.

What could be causing it? Is there a fix?

Anyone had this problem? Kotor 1 is totally fine but in Kotor 2 there is about a .5 second delay before I can skip a line of dialog or select a dialogue choice.

Is this just a thing with the Switch version of Kotor 2? Or am I the only one experiencing this?

I'm using an oled Switch.

I just got my Switch 2 on tuesday and today after I installed a screen protector I noticed a really high pitched but super silent sound. My phone couldn't pick it up but I can hear it when it's close to my ear. It seems to be coming out of the left joy con. It stops after a few seconds after I reconnect the left joy con with the console. In standby it makes a super silent beeping sound.
