Nintendo 2DS: Sd Card Slot Bad

Mon, 17 Aug 2026 01:03:42 -0700

I am pretty sure the SD card slot on the 2ds is bad. I've put different SD cards into it. It always says that the card is write protected. I know that its not.

Is there a way I can fix it? I read somewhere that maybe the arm inside the SD card slot for write protection is broke but I can't find anything on how to fix it or how to replace the whole sd card slot if I buy a new one to replace it. Thanks.

Nintendo Switch: Quiet speaker on one side

Sun, 16 Aug 2026 02:03:02 -0700

I'm having a problem with my Switch rev1. Right speaker working with noticebly lower volume than the left one.

I'm not the first owner of this console, but I know the capacitors on the left side of the APU cover have been replaced as they were damaged during maintenance of thermal paste replacement.

Replacing speakers (both from a donor) and swapping original speaker from left to right did not solve this. Absolutely nothing changes. What could be wrong?

3.5mm jack and wireless headphones works just fine, only speaker having an issue. Anything on the board could be related?

Nintendo Switch: Replaced Game Card Reader, now Touchscreen doesn't work

Fri, 14 Aug 2026 00:46:15 -0700

I recently had to replace the game card reader in my Switch (2017 HAC-001) due to some bent and missing pins. I used this method and the fix kit from iFixit and the repair seemed to go well. The card reader works and we can play game cards again!

What wasn't apparent at first is that the touchscreen now has issues. Most of the time the Switch remains docked, but when undocking to go portable (from standby), the touchscreen doesn't function properly, registering ghost inputs, rendering the Switch inoperable. Thus far the only solution is to fully reboot the switch prior to undocking. After that, seems to work fine in portable.

This issue was NOT present prior to the repair. Now I see mixed explanations for this issue:

Some posts talk about a potential incompatibility between the Switch and the Card Reader (something about there being multiple versions of the card reader), which I feel is unlikely since after a reboot the issues goes away, AND I know with confidence I have the original HAC-001 model and ordered the appropriate part from iFixit.
Some posts says it may be as simple as the ribbon connecting the game card reader not being fully seated. While this would be great since I could just crack it open and reseat the ribbon, IMHO it still doesn't explain why the touchscreen works after a reboot.
Some posts says I should just use the custom bootloader Hekate to calibrate the touchscreen but I have some apprehensions going down the modded Switch route, this is a family console primarily used by my Wife and kids and I don't want to mess something up.

Any ideas? I'm hesitant to crack it open again without being reasonably sure it will resolve the issue.

I bought a battery for my 2DS here on this website. The battery lasts about five hours, but then it keeps flashing red for an hour. I've calibrated it about three or four times. Should I keep trying to calibrate it, or should I request a replacement? Thank you very much.
