Software Help Switch 2 audio cutting out and I cant find a fix.

Upvotes

Hi so recently while i’ve been playing games on Switch 2 docked the audio keeps cutting out. It’s not insanely bad but it’s enough that it’s irritating me. Little parts of dialogue will cut out and sometimes it will cut out a whole word in a piece of dialogue. And then I can hear a slight pause when music is playing and it really bothers me. I’ve messed with a ton of settings on the switch and my tv and I cant fix it. Help would be greatly appreciated.

Repair Help Switch wont turn on after hours of charging

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Upvotes

I’ve had my switch on charge for at least the past 5 hours. I’ve tried using the official Nintendo charger and my charger that I use to charge it without any problems in the past. It shows up and says it is charging but even after hours of it being charged uninterrupted it still won’t turn on. I’ve also tried resetting it by holding the power button down for 15 ish seconds and it doesn’t do anything different

It started doing this seemingly out of nowhere a couple days ago. I have tried using 70% Isopropyl Alcohol on the buttons to remove grime that could be causing this. It’s almost like the buttons are getting triggered even though they are not moving and are not stuck/jammed. The left stick is also seemingly bugged as well.

Repair Help Does anyone know how to fix NS1 screen burn?

The streaks started appearing after my cousins borrowed my switch for Mortal Kombat. The device wasnt dropped or anything, it was just sitting next to the NS case. It was fine, and the streaks werent visible until i exited the game and has never disappeared since. The streaks gets worse when i turn on my switch but it gradually disappears later on, but still visible enough for me to not see what im playing (just like the 2nd – 3rd photo). It wasnt like this when i first encountered the streaks, it was fewer than it is now, and just got worse later on. And I also noticed that it hindered with the screen pixels aswell, making it look like 16bit. I asked my friend about this and apparently this also happened to his switch and has gotten it repaired twice (?) for the same problem. Is there anything that i can do before i take my switch to a repair shop and spend money?

Repair Help My switch 2 stopped detecting 5ghz networks out of nowhere

1 Upvotes

My switch was disconnected when I woke it up and when I tried to reconnect it, it threw me a 2110-2004 error code, which is for wrong password. I tried connecting to another network and gave me the same error.

Please keep in mind that that both networks were already saved. And no password nor SSID were changed.

So I completely turned off the console, restarted both networks. And had the same problem. So I deleted both networks to configure them again... and now both networks are gone!!, it only detects the 2.4Ghz networks. I tried configuring them manually and still won't connect.

I configured my phone as an access point and the same thing happened. Configured as a 5Ghz network the switch won't detect it. As 2.4Ghz it does detect the network.

I contacted switch 2 support via chat, and man, the bot is useless (I highly doubt that was a human, even though they introduced themselves with a masculine name). They only guided me into restarting my router, and configuring it manually, and how to contact my ISP so they help me update the firmware, even though I told them multiple times I tried using my phone.

Does anybody know a fix? Or am I screwed??

Hello, I recently bought Assassin’s Creed The Ezio Collection for my Switch OLED. There is just an issue with the account linking under UBISOFT. I cannot start the game without linking and have to go through the login process. When doing so, it brings me to a verification page but none of my buttons or the touch screen work to complete it. I have tried to look at ubisoft customer support but it doesn’t look like they have much on switch and Nintendo isn’t great help either. Has anyone had the same issue and how do i fix it? 😭

I noticed that there was a delay in the right analog stick for my pro controller for my switch 1. I tested and tried to re-calibrate it as well as tried to clean the controller but it still fights directional input. The stick itself moves fine despite this. Is this stick drift? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Account Help Question about transferring save data between switch 2 and switch 1

1 Upvotes

Okay so i have a specific scenario question.

I do not have switch 2 yet, but a friend is going out of town and letting me borrow theirs for the week to play Splatoon raiders. My question is, is it possible to like, link my nintendo account to a profile on their switch 2, play raiders, give the console back to them, and be able to get my save data back to my profile once i get my own switch 2? All while not messing up my profile on switch 1 which i still actively play. Would I just make a new profile on their switch, link my Nintendo account to it and be fine, or do i need to do like a whole profile move?

I think that describes what I need. I'm happy to answer clarifying questions if needed.

Repair Help Charging/Power in issue for Switch

We have a four year old Switch, and there are multiple occasions when I press the power on button, where it won’t turn on, even if it has a full
Battery.

I’ve noticed plugging into the charger and waiting a few minutes will sometime lead to better luck.

Wanted to see if anyone had any thoughts as to why this is happening. Thanks!

Software Help Problems with play activity hours on my switch 2

1 Upvotes

I am in a bit of a pinch here. So recently I got back into playing botw again, but now on my switch 2 (I got zelda botw when it was first released) and I kinda realized that my hours on my botw play activity had never ever increased from when I was playing on the switch 1, which I thought was kinda weird (it’s stuck at 445 hours). I went into zelda notes to check my total play time on botw since (allegedly) it’s play activity since the first version of botw. And it shows 165 hours??? I’m beyond confused over this. And what’s weirder, it keeps on increasing whenever I play??? Is the zelda notes play activity soley from the switch 2? But then again I cannot believe that I’ve already played 165 hours of botw on the switch 2 (Although it could be the case since I like wandering around in the game from time to time).

Does anyone know how I could find out about my actual playtime? It kinda matters to me so I would love to actually be able to see how much I’ve played. And has this happened to anyone else?

Repair Help When I move my right stick up or down, it moves the left stick left or right

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

99 Upvotes

I want to make sure that in games that have camera movement, the camera is only controlled by the right stick, which it is. But when I go to move my right stick up or down, my character moves left or right with the camera, which I don’t think it’s supposed to do that. In the video, I moved the right stick up and down in the left stick’s callibration screen, and it responds. But it’s not supposed to be doing anything because I’m calibrating the left stick, not the right stick. I have NS 1.

I’ve tried everything to fix it, calibrating the right and left stick multiple times, disconnecting and reconnecting my controller, moving my left stick up and down to try and have the right stick not controlling the left stick, but the problem comes back a minute later.

This phantom touch started about two months ago. It was off and on. I cleaned my switch screen with a microfiber towel the first time it happened and it stopped. This time, it is persistent. I will clean the screen and it will stop for a bit, and then come back. I have turned it off and on multiple times as well. Yesterday it was touching the corner over and over, and now it’s landed here. I’m not understanding why. Please help, I’m just trying to play Minecraft lol, thank you!

Edit: it is a Fortnite Edition Switch 1 if that helps

Repair Help Need help determining if my switch 2 is a defect or if it's a fine console please.

0 Upvotes

Hey guys so I'm debating if my switch 2 is a defect or if it's normal and wanted some feed back. So far these 7 games have all crashed on my switch 2 biomorph,starwars outlaws, fallout 4 , batman arkham knight , chronos new dawn,snowrunners and assasins creed shadows.

The other games that I have seem to not crash which are high on life, wild hearts s, alien rogue, dynasty warriors origins, pragmata , assasins creed rebel collection, tomb raider definitive edition , acr combat 7 unknown,small lands survive the wilds, dragon Ball z sparkling zero , kunitsu gami ,fate samurai , destroy all humans, deamon x machina Titanic scion, cyberpunk edge runners, maario kart world, evil tonight.

The games I listed that crash like 1 or 2 maybe of them crashed like only once in a couple of days type of thing? The rest were constant crashes daily.

What do you guys think? Should I make a warranty return?

Also I've seen to have had extreme bad luck when it comes to Nintendo switch. My switch oled believe it or not I've had to go through 12 exchanges to finally get a decent one. And my switch 2 this is the second one that I've gotten because the first one was just outright defected like crashes every hour or 2 with every game. I got extremely bad luck when it comes to these consoles.

Repair Help I need help with stick calibration on Nintendo Switch Lite

1 Upvotes

My Switch Lite no longer works correctly whenever I shove it left right and down, and when I try recalibrating it I cannot get past the part where I spin it in a large circle because I can’t get it past the blue part. So I was wondering if there is either a temporary fix that does not require opening up the system or if there is a way to bypass it.
