    My son has his switch about 13 months. In the last week games wont load (any of them) and get an error message saying the card cant be ready.

    Tried seeing if there was dirt in side but looks clean.


    Beyond that I dont know. Any ideas or do I just bring it back?

    Maybe a bent pin, or connection to card reader dislodged? I'd probably ask Nintendo to fix it but the card reader looks to be an easy thing to inspect more closely or replace, thirty or forty euro for a new one and no desoldering or soldering required.

    Could also try giving it a blast with electrical contact cleaner?

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.
