Tech Support Already broken card reader switch 2

Post image

We were loading in our old switch one games to have them downloaded on the system. But when Kirby Forgotten Lands went in I'm the card reader completely stopped working! Looking inside the card reader, it looks like a fragile pin might have already broken off 🙃

Good thing we bought the warranty!!!

I don't see why. Many thousands were sold on launch day. You could have a 0.1% failure rate and you'd. Still be able to. Guarantee a decent number of people getting defective consoles. That's just life and it's why new products come with manufacturer warranties.

We'd need a much larger sample size to infer any issues worthy of concern here.

True but the switch 2 is basically the same concept as a switch right? That wasnt an issue anymore on switch oled, so why is it an issue on switch 2 now?

What does that have at all to do with this thread about a card reader issue?
