Signs your Nintendo Switch OLED needs this repair
- "Cannot read the game card" errors
- Games not detected when inserted
- Card won't go in or is stuck
- Bent pins inside the slot
- Games crash when loading from the card
- Slot cover broken
How we fix it
We inspect the slot for bent pins or damage and test with known working game cards.
We replace the game card reader, then test with several cards to make sure they're all recognised.
How long it takes
Game card slot repairs are usually done within one to two working days.
Good to know: Keep game cards in their case, and never force a card into the slot the wrong way round.
Questions
Could it be my game card?
Sometimes. We test with our own cards to find out.
Will my digital games be affected?
No. Only the card reader is replaced.
