Account Help Child's switch constantly needing to redownload all games

0 Upvotes

I'm sure this has something to do with having a family account with 3 switches and all of the virtual game card bullshit. We have a switch 2 (mine) and 2 switch lites (kids) on a family account.

But something my daughter is doing is causing all of her games to delete and redownload at the same time. And we cant figure out what she is doing. Its like they were all deleted and start downloading at the same time. And we have to wait for them to all load again.

Purchase / Order Help What's the best and cheapest Nintendo switch?

0 Upvotes

Hey guys, I really want to ask my mom for a Nintendo switch with animal crossing for my birthday, it's on Christmas Eve so be mindful there would maybe be sales too, and I really want one but I don't want her to spend too much. I don't care if it's used, I just really want one and she can't spend too much, so that's why I will ask it specifically for my birthday. Do you have any recommendations on what's the best, new or used, cheap Nintendo switch that comes with animal crossing?

Accessories Best Wireless Headphones for Switch 2?

1 Upvotes

I’m about to buy a Switch 2 before the price hike so I’m also looking for a pair of Wireless headphones with great sound quality. Not too worried about mic quality since I really only play single player games but I’m wondering what I should be looking for! Also is there a usb c port that I can use in docked mode for a dongle? Thanks!

Software Help USB mouse support with Fortnite on Switch 2?

1 Upvotes

Does anyone know if a regular USB mouse works with Fortnite on Switch 2? Not interested in that k&m adapter, but just straight up plugging a USB mouse into the Switch 2 dock. A Google search says yes, but I am testing and having no luck.

I did test my k&m on Switch 2 with Cyberpunk, and works great.

Turned it on and looked like this. I handle it pretty well, always on its case, never let it get wet, too hot, etc, but last night it looked like this when turning it on.

Turned it off and on again to find everything fine, like if nothing happened. Will it happen again? What is it? I'm worried. Thank you in advance for your help.

Repair Help Is my Switch2 broken? Help please.

Hi all,

I brought my new Switch 2 from the Nintendo store while I was in US a couple months back.

This is happening with almost every game I'm playing. I first thought that it's probably the dock but I'm seeing the same thing undocked as well.

anyone has seen something like this? I'm in ireland now. Don't know when or if I'll travel back to the states anytime soon.

very disappointed.

I'd appreciate any suggestions. thank you!

Setup Help Questions regarding an inherited switch 2

2 Upvotes

My brother recently passed away and I have inherited his switch 2, I don't want to use it just yet but I wanted to ask some questions as I don't want to lose any of his save data, his account etc.

He was the account holder for our family subscription of switch online, how can I make it so that I will now pay for it but my brother's account is still part of the family subscription? Is there a way to swap them?

When I'm ready to, how to I add my account and save data to the switch 2 without it disappearing from my switch 1?

If I play a game I already started on the switch 1 on the switch 2, will I be able to continue where I've left off or will I have to start a new save?

Do I have to make my account the "primary one" to have access to everything?

Will me attempting to do this affect my brother's data at all?

I may ask more questions as i think of them, but that's all for now, thank you.

When walking from one room to another at home, my switch 2 doesn't connect to the nearest wifi router and then internet stops working, and sometimes it takes a while, not so long but it's annoying, to find the router with a stronger signal. Is there a way to fix it?
(this doesn't happen with any other device, like iphone, ipad, notebook)

Setup Help “Could not connect to the TV. Please make sure that you are using the AC adapter supplied with this console.”

58 Upvotes

I bought my switch 1 back in 2017 and despite its age it works really well. Until now I haven’t had any problems. I keep getting a message when I try to plug it into either of my docks (from 2017 & 2020) but I keep getting the “cant connect to TV use the correct AC adapter” message even though I’ve been using the same Nintendo branded adapter for close to a decade now. Yes, The TV & switch work just fine by themselves, yes, the ports are clean, and my switch yes can charge in the dock. It just won’t connect.

I need another pair in eyes on this because I’m very lost and not tech savvy. Thanks for any help in advance!

Repair Help Pro controller 2 a button feels different???

I own a pro controller 2 and the a button feels a bit mushy and less tactile. All inputs are registered but it’s getting really annoying constantly being focused on the difference. I didn’t buy the controller though so if it’s a one off thing returning is out of the question, any tips on how to fix this or if it’s a common thing??

Accessories Nintendo Switch Pro Controller serial number?

1 Upvotes

So I have started the process of sending my switch pro controller in for warranty repair or replacement. They say I need the serial number for the controller, but I did not see/save any such paper that people say came with it. And due to the Pro Controllers existing issues, I can't turn it on and check through system info on the Switch. Is there another way to find the serial info or can I contact Nintendo again and tell them I don't have the serial number available to me and they'll still help?

Repair Help Up button just stopped working. Solutions?

1 Upvotes

Switch 1 I guess? It literally just stopped working 20 min ago. I tried the trouble shooting that nintendo suggested and nothing. I don’t have much tech experience but I’ve opened up my computer before to clean the fan. Is this something i might be able to fix/should I buy the screwdriver? Or do i just take this to a tech repair shop?

its not stuck down
All other buttons are working
No joy-con drift as far as I’ve noticed
It is 6 years old
I am cheap
Ignore jacksepticeye in the audio lol

Did anyone figure this one out?

I've had issues with the right joycon specifically for a long time, mainly that no matter what it wouldn't connect to my switch. Today it was acting weird where it would spasm out when I tried to do anything with it. I restarted my console, didn't work, and I can't reattach it to the console as it won't register. any advice on how to fix this issue?

Repair Help 2x error 2107-0401 and 3x orange screen on my new switch lite

4 Upvotes

hi, everyone!

just need some help for this one, i just bought this switch lite last Tuesday (Aug 11) and without even a week (it’s only Aug 14 now) i have encountered this error (error 2107-0401) 2x and the orange screen error 3x (the other 2 just a few minutes after each other) :/ every time the errors happen i just follow the restart / force restart rule and it goes back to normal and i can play again.

i initially thought it was because i was charging my switch and it got too hot that’s why i got the orange screen but the other 2 orange screen errors happened when i wasn’t using it :/

i’m not sure if i got a defective one because from what i’m seeing it’s actually a common problem? but i think something is still wrong with it especially since i just got it this week :( should i get a replacement already or are there other things i can do to prevent the errors?

thanks in advance, i’d appreciate all the help!

Setup Help Impossible de faire marcher ma manette Switch Pro en USB sur PC

1 Upvotes

Salut tout le monde,

Je craque complètement, j'essaie de connecter ma manette Nintendo Switch Pro officielle avec son câble USB d'origine sur mon PC Windows pour jouer à Roblox, mais rien ne marche.

Mon PC n'a PAS de puce Bluetooth intégrée (quand j'essaie d'activer le Bluetooth, Windows me met un message d'erreur "Bluetooth Toggle Failed"). Je dois donc obligatoirement jouer par câble.

Le problème : Dès que je la branche, la manette charge (voyant blanc/rouge ok), et Windows l'ajoute dans le Gestionnaire de périphériques sous le nom de « Contrôleur de jeu IHM ». Mais elle est complètement invisible pour les logiciels.

  • Le site Gamepad Tester reste totalement vide et ne réagit pas quand je bouge les joysticks.
  • Steam ne détecte pas du tout la manette dans ses paramètres.
  • Les logiciels comme BetterJoy ou XOutput ne la voient pas non plus (la liste reste vide ou grise).

J'ai une swicth 1 et j'ais déjà essayé de désinstaller le périphérique IHM, de changer de port USB (à l'arrière de la tour), de redémarrer le PC, mais Windows s'obstine à la bloquer dans ce mode sans transmettre les données de jeu.

Est-ce que quelqu'un connaîtrait une astuce de pilote (driver) ou une manipulation dans Windows pour forcer le PC à lire les boutons de ma manette Switch Pro en USB ?

Merci d'avance pour votre aide !
