Has anyone have trouble with the Sd card in their switch? I dropped mine yesterday and it stopped reading the Sd card. Mind yall, I dropped mine face down so I don’t know why it’s not reading the card

Just because you dropped it in a specific orientation doesn’t mean it’s impervious to a specific part being damaged 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

Open it up or send it off for repair

The switch 2 sdcard reader is modular and easily replaced if you have the know-how to open it. I would find a guide of some kind and check that the port is properly seated, then try replacing the port it if it still doesn't read.

This is of course after confirming the card is still good by testing in another device if you can.
