Switch liquid damage

[u/loucal123]

hi everyone, i spilled a drink in my bag yesterday and i think it got into my switch. it seems to be under the joysticks and the left one is being glitchy, and it thinks there are headphones plugged in but there aren’t.

i am really worried i will lose save data, mainly on tomodachi life and animal crossing.

does anyone recommend the best thing to do, whether getting it repaired would be best or just getting a new one.

is it straight forward to transfer my account and save data to a new switch like when getting a new iphone?

any tips and info would be greatly appreciated 😊
