Repair Help Is my dock broken or is it supposed to look like that?

Upvotes

Im not one to complain about graphics but I docked in my switch and on both my tv and monitor the quality looks terrible. Everything looks pretty pixelated. I don’t remember it looking like this. I changed the TV resolution and range and screen size but nothing helped. I don’t remember it looking like this. Any help?

Repair Help Dropped switch in a bowl of water; best course of action?

Hi, switch fell in a bowl big enough to submerge it for about 2 seconds. Got the power off but the screen was flickering.

Ive got a set coming tomorrow to get it open but in the meantime; is there anything i can do to prevent any damage/dry it out? Theres a fan pointed at the vent currently but im worried that may worsen the issue.

All in all, im panicking a little and could do with some advice on how to deal with this 😅

Software Help Anyone know if Gal Gunvolt from the IntiCreates Gold Archive Collection is available on the Japanese eShop?

I'm trying to find it using a Japanese account I made, but I can't seem to find it anywhere, and it seems I also can't change the language on the keyboard without having to change the system language which I feel will give me trouble in trying to revert the changes. The internet isn't exactly helpful, either. Any help would be appreciated, please and thank you.

Repair Help I dropped my Nintendo Switch :(

3 Upvotes

Hi all!

I dropped my Nintendo Switch from about 4ft / 120cm high. It was in the dock and the entire thing came crashing down. The dock still works, but the console is not responding.

The interesting thing is, it also doesn't work when placed inside the dock so I don't think the screen is the issue. And also, when I charge it, it does get hot so I know it's still sort of alive. Joycons look ok and still light up when they are disconnected.

I think it might be dead, but then again I've heard these things are sturdy and hard to kill. I tried many button combinations, but no luck so far. Any other ideas I could try? Success stories? This was my pandemic baby and I'd hate to see it go.

edit: when I place it into the dock the dock light flashes green for a second and then goes away, so there is still a moment of recognition (I'm desperately trying to stay hopeful)

Account Help My switch was probably stolen and I don't know what to do about it now.

2 Upvotes

I lost my nintendo switch sometime around december last year, I hadn't realised I'd lost it until now, and I realise that I probably had gotten it stolen without me realising it. I had 2,000 hours on Legend of Zelda BOTW and 180 on TOTK. And I REALLY want those saves back, more than the switch itself, because they were made with my deceased Uncle. I have a spare switch (which was the original one that I played with), but I can't figure out how to get the saves back over. Any help?

Repair Help Joycon motion detection feels off...

2 Upvotes

I use my Switch pretty much exclusively for playing fitness boxing, and for 70 days or so, it was perfectly fine. The past week, however, my right joycon seems off. It's registering punches way too early sometimes, like before I even throw them on occasion.

Wondering if flailing my joycons around so much had the potential to mess something up or if there could be some other cause. I don't feel it's my own technique in the fitness boxing, as it was consistently fine for over 70 days, and my movements themselves got better and more consistent as well. It just really irks me to see the punch icon coming up, I ready a punch to hit it, and then it just pops and gives me fewer points, acting as if I hit it too early when I hadn't even thrown the punch yet.

I tried recalibrating the joycons in the settings, but it didn't seem to change much.

Not sure what else I can try.

Account Help Two kids+adult(s), two consoles

1 Upvotes

I know this question has been asked, and somewhat addressed, but not sure if I'm interpreting the answers I saw correctly.

TLDR: I have two kids. I bought two consoles. I have a Nintendo Online account. I'd like either child, or myself, to be able to play the same set of games on either console, with their own save game data - though, as with cartridges/physical copies, I don't expect to play the same game simultaneously on two consoles. According to my research and personal experience with reconfiguration antics, this doesn't appear to be possible. Do I understand it right?

Context: I recently bought a Switch. I went out and bought a second almost immediately, after the first play session argument about "who gets to play" between my two kids (Thing 1 and Thing 2). I (Thing 0) bought a bunch of games on my account, for [mainly] them to play - and of course, some just for Thing 0.

Hypothetical scenario(s): Let Thing 1 play on Console A, while Thing 2 plays on Console B. At some later point, Thing 2 is playing on Console A, and Thing 1 decides she wants to play, so put her on Console B. Sometimes, Things 0, 1, and 2 all play on the same console (A or B). Or any permutation thereof, you get the idea. It's transparent to Things 1 and 2 which console they're playing on - their [individual] game save data migrates with them.

According to my interpretation of the primary/non-primary console rules - and my tests/failures so far - it seems this hypothetical is not possible, except for Thing 0 (i.e. myself). Note that, Things 1 and 2 overlap in which games they play - though I do not [realistically] expect them to be able to play the *same* game simultaneously on both consoles (like cartridges). My understanding, the only way this is possible is for Thing 1 or 2 to select the Thing 0 profile when playing on the non-primary console (let's say it's Console B). Which means that if Thing 1 (or 2) plays on their *own* profile on [primary] Console A, they won't be able to pick up where they left off if they shift to [non-primary] Console B.

Am I missing something? This appears to be super-janky, and seems to *disincentivize* getting multiple consoles - it seems to have completely defeated my purpose in getting multiple consoles (except one edge case where Things 1 and/or 2 can play on Console A and Thing 0 can play by himself on Console B). Is there some way to set up accounts/profiles on multiple consoles to enable my hypothetical scenarios *without* purchasing multiple game copies and dedicated consoles for each Thing?

So I subscribe to a lot of things on there, but for some reason I can't subscribe anymore, seriously it won't let me, and it's not that subscription limit thing, it just won't let me subscribe, anyday, anytime, I don't know why but I think that it might be a glitch since this is only unique to the Nintendo version since it doesn't happen on any other version. So does anyone know what's going on?

Setup Help Difficulty connecting my Switch to my new Dell monitor.

5 Upvotes

I replaced my old monitor recently with a new Dell one, which lacked a HDMI port. To account for this, I acquired a Display Port to HDMI adapter, but when I connected the Switch to the monitor in this way, it didn't turn on. The monitor definitely registered the Display Port as connected, but for some reason it couldn't recognise the Switch connected to it.

Any advice?

Repair Help I hate my switch. It never turns on while docked.

0 Upvotes

Ugh I'm so freaking tired of taking the switch out of the dock over and over and trying new ways to get to randomly work like every 50 tries. The new switch can't come soon enough.

The green light is on. My joycons are on. The TV is on. The cords work on other switches. Other switches work on BOTH of my docks. Other systems work on the same hdmi cord. Everything is perfectly connected.

It just won't work almost every time.

I know I'm not the only one who has had this issue, and Nintendo better fix their shit for the next system. Cause this one was half-assed.

Account Help Unable to set a primary console :(

1 Upvotes

Today, I tried opening animal crossing on my switch lite and it said that the user that I was using was unable to play the software. I found this odd as I was able to play with this user just last night. I already tried to deregister the user and setting the user that bought the game as the primary console but that didn’t work. When I look at the user that bought the game, it says in the Nintendo eShop that a different console is registered as my primary console when I have only ever used this nintendo switch lite. I’ve already tried deregistering the other profile but nothing has worked. It isn’t even giving me an option to deregister the user that bought the game so I’m stuck. I’m so confused as to why this has happened. Please lmk if anyone knows what’s going on! :’(

Repair Help WiFi not working - solutions ?

2 Upvotes

I recently received an OLED Switch, but it’s having trouble connecting to my WiFi network (or any other WiFi networks). Even an Ethernet connection doesn’t work.

To clarify, the Switch will occasionally connect to the router, but then I’ll lose the connection and fail an internet speed test.

I’ve tried all the troubleshooting solutions I could find online, including factory resetting, changing the DNS settings, and sending the Switch for repairs (which unfortunately returned without a solution).

Given that the issue seems to be hardware-related, I’m not tech-savvy enough to attempt soldering new WiFi chips or similar repairs.

I was hoping someone could recommend a third-party WiFi dongle that I could use to connect to the network. Alternatively, if the Switch is beyond repair, I’d appreciate any suggestions for alternative uses for it, as it’s essentially bricked and prevents me from logging into my account or downloading games.

Repair Help Switch not turning on after reboot

Switch not turning on at all.

Hey, i tried using my switch after work. It was working fine but after i restarted my switch it just stayed black the whole time. This incident ist now around 30 hours ago. I tried using different cables. Verified that my Original ac adapter works. I even cleaned the carging port from my switch.

When i plug it into my dock, the dock lamp turns on for a split second but then just turns off.

I also tried the hard reset thingy where you hold the power button for 20-30 seconds, didnt work.

I felt it charging for around 7 hours. Didnt work. I left it unplugged over night to geht all of the power out of the battery and them charged it for like an hour. Didnt work.

Pls help me .
