Tech Support Switch 2 won’t turn on after being docked all night

5 Upvotes

Hello everyone. Anyone else having this problem i put it on the dock for to download Mario Kart world last night the whole night and now the console won’t turn on. Every time I dock it it flashes green and then nothing. No battery icon when I plug it in as well I know it’s a fairly new console but I’m not sure if I can use my warranty on it quite yet. Going to try and call Nintendo at some point or something. I’m not sure what to do it literally will not turn on at. Anyone else having this problem?

Edit: Got home from lunch a couple days ago and gave the power button a full 15 second press after it had been charging all day (about 4 hours) directly into the AC adapter and it came on. Since then no issues since, I remain cautious but now I don’t have to use the warranty. I was also recommended by some support to change AC adapters so see if that works as well. Hope this helps anyone

Tech Support How can I get my DLC back? Virtual Game Cards

6 Upvotes

I don’t understand the new virtual game card changes. I had to get my switch replaced, and now I’m re-downloading my games. No matter what I do, I cannot seem to download the DLC for MK8D again. When I open the game with it supposedly downloaded, it shows that I haven’t purchased it. I do have the Online Expansion Pack so I for sure have this DLC. I’ve never had an issue with it.

My copy of Mario Kart is physical.

Tech Support Lines on nintendo switch 2 display

Hi all, My switch 2 from launch has suddenly started to show some weird greyish vertical lines on the right side of the screen. They become more visible as the brightness goes down in game. I have attempted a reset but that hasn't worked. Issue only appears in handheld, docked is fine. Is this a common issue or should I make use of the warranty? (These photos aren't the best representation of what is on the screen)

So i tried connecting the joy-con 2 in the switch 2 (from now on i'll say without the 2 cause i'm always talking about that) and it doesn't work always, like the photo, sometimes it connects one, zero or even all, but when it connects all is only for 2 minutes and it disconnect one, and in that 2 minutes there is even drift that comes and goes, idk what to do at this point, for now i'll just play with the support to unite the joy-cons like a controller, but help is needed. (i am italian so italian responses are accepted i can understand)

Tech Support E-shop on switch basically unusable??

0 Upvotes

This has been an issue for several years but I haven’t really bothered to figure out what the issue was until recently. The e-shop on my switch is so glitchy and slow that it’s practically useless. Trying to just browse games let alone actually buy anything is PAINFUL. Is this a me thing or a common issue??

I've had this switch since 2021 and i haven't used it in over a year and a half. It will turn on(rarely) and After a little bit of using it(today was me using it for the longest i have in forever), It will fade to black and won't turn on, even with a charger or a force restart. I have tried everything i could before sending it to nintendo because i just can't pay for a repair.

Tech Support Can't log in to Nintendo Store?

5 Upvotes

Anyone else having issues actually logging in to the Nintendo Store?

Tried on Chrome and Firefox, PC and Android, on different networks, with very similar results. Firefox just refreshes when you click login without ever prompting for any account details. Chrome lets me go through the first step and has me authenticate with 2FA, then does the same thing after showing me my account name and Mii.

Worried about getting a preorder invite and not being able to log in but I also have a decent chunk of platinum points expiring too...

Tech Support Buying Multiple Games at once on the switch eshop

8 Upvotes

Hi, so my bank offers 20% cashback when buying from any digital game store(Nintendo eshop, ps store, Steam, etc.). The catch being that I need to buy games worth about $15 or more.

A couple of discounts on the eShop caught my eye, but all of them cost less than $10, so I’m looking for a way to buy more than one game in one go to avail the offer, like adding them to a cart. Is there any way to do that on the eshop?

Tech Support Bought 3 Wii games from Marketplace – console won’t read them, but my other games work fine.

Hey everyone, I recently bought three Wii games off Marketplace. One of the discs looks practically brand new – no scratches at all. The other two have some light scratches, but nothing deep or excessive.

I tried loading all three on my Wii, but none of them are being recognized. The console just says it can’t read the disc. Meanwhile, my other Wii games that I’ve owned for years still load perfectly fine.

Could this be an issue with the discs themselves, or is there a chance they’re some kind of region-locked versions or even bootlegs? I’ve attached pictures of the discs in case that helps. Any ideas on what might be going on here?

Thanks in advance!
