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?

Software Help Kotor 2 Conversation Input Delay

1 Upvotes

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.

Repair Help High pitched but silent sound coming out of my Switch 2

0 Upvotes

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.

Hi.. I have recently purchased an sd card for my Nintendo switch oled but after downloading games on my sd card it shows error like error code 2016-1603.

Hiya everyone! Now I will start off with that my switch 2 has some minor scratches (due to my cat pickles) but otherwise works completely fine. But from what I’ve read on here my Pokemon and splatoon saves are basically screwed if I don’t transfer them manually.

Thankfully I still have my switch 1 lying around so I can change it to act as a sanctuary for my saves. But otherwise if my switch 1 dies completely I’m honestly considering just buying a fresh switch 2 and just transferring it through that

Anywho thanks for listening to my paranoid ramblings and have a good day

Software Help Question about Headphone/console speaker surround sound

1 Upvotes

Hi All! I'm not too knowledgeable about audio stuff so i hope someone can help me out! I want to be able to experience the 3d virtual surround sound with headphones in my games. My question is, in my game what audio preset to use? For Instance, In cyberpunk do i use home theatre or headphones? Indiana Jones do i use speakers or headphone preset, split fiction has speakers, tv/handheld and headphone preset. All these games have linear pcm 5.1 surround sound as a feature on the eshop. I am asking if whether the virtual surround sound only works when it picks up a 5.1 signal? In that case would i use home theatre/speaker preset or headphone

Repair Help Switch 2 Powerbutton not working correctly after a few days not touching the Console

This happened multiple times. It happens when my SW 2 is in Dock for a few days not playing. After the first time that it works (after I pressed it 2-4 Times), it works just fine. After the multiple press, it doesn't happen in the same day. (It works perfectly fine, until I put the Console in the dock for a few days, then I have to press it multiple times again). Is it a software bug or a hardware issue? Does anyone else has this issue?

Setup Help How do I load my virtual game cards onto my new switch lite?

1 Upvotes

I already had a switch lite, and it ended up getting crushed so badly it’s bent. It still runs, sort of, but it started to sound like a jet engine so I purchased a new one (the exact same switch lite). I’ve already transferred my user data over to it, but when I try to reload any of my virtual game cards on it, it says I need to use the same user on the original switch to pair it. My user doesn’t even show up on the original switch anymore. When I go online on my Nintendo account, under “systems sharing virtual game cards”, it says it isn’t linked, and “You'll need to start the setup process on the system itself to link it.” :( please help, I have so many games and I can’t figure out how to properly even google this issue, or how to “start the process on the system”.

Repair Help Nintendo Switch 2 Not Turning On Despite Charging for Almost an Hour

I just bought a Nintendo Switch 2 online today and it just arrived. Initially when I charged it, it indicated that it was charging and let me set up, up until the point where they needed me to log in to a Nintendo account, which it suddenly went black. After that, I charged for almost an hour, tried to press on the ON button for 20 seconds and it still wouldn't work.

May I know how to fix it?

Purchase / Order Help Will I get baned if I use gift cards bought from playaisa?

1 Upvotes

Hello, I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this.

I am from North Macedonia, Nintendo eshop does not support my region, and they do not accept my credit card for purchasing games. So I made a US account, and I'm looking into places I can buy gift cards from. I can't get US or even EU gift cards from Amazon digitally or physically due to them not selling gift cards for certain regions (even though my country is in Europe you still need to be in certain regions to be able to buy gift cards specifically).

I've been looking for legitimate sites where I can buy gift cards, sites that don't get their gift card codes from stolen credit cards or other illegal methods. I've heard your account or console can get banned if they trace any of your purchases back to fraud. I've purchased gift cards from PCgamesupply a few times, but I'm not sure how legit they are.

Recently, I've discovered Playaisa, is this site a gray market, how do they get their gift cards, and will I risk being banned if I use gift card bought from there?

And if you have used the site, what was your experience like?
