'Domination' was an outburst, my therapist says I need to zen and focus on peace. cheers!
Ignore your therapist they work for the man!
how can i contact you? its very necessary because i just lost my user account.
@@lidar9224 only now am I reading your wise words Lidar.
Thanks you are the best love you
I would gladly pay u to do mine but there is no way ur going from America to UK
When that man said “if you got kids” I ran to the tweezers! Finessed a no open fix. Thank you
THANK YOU! Fixed my issue with your guidance. Used a tiny safety pin to unbend the Reader pins without taking apart the Switch. Used the dock as a stand. Used my phone flashlight to get a clear view
I used the sun, highly underrated
Do you have a picture of how it should look like ? Just looked into ours and I think we have several pins bended.
I was crying thinking my switch needed to be sent in for repairs, but I need it for my work so I can't go without it and I couldn't efford to get it fixed. I had tried everything but then I saw your video and I looked and two of the pins were bent! I got a needle and bent it to make a hook and then with a torch in my mouth I spent like 10 mins carefully trying to get the pins unbent. Worked instantly after this. Thank you so much!!
Problem is only 1 game isn't reading right... Streets of Rage 4. The other games work fine.
@@GladDestrongerthen it’s the card is probably faulty, you could get it replaced from wherever you bought it from, as long as it was recently bought
Thank you!! Unfortunately it looks like my 7 year old messed up my pins in the card reader....ugh I wanna cry..my switch isn't even a year old 😭😭😭😭😭
Dude that fucking sucks

@Everydayyouarentrunningrattatuilleonlygetscloser same here, my son's oled was his Xmas gift. Today it's not working and it's because one of the game cards had a broken plastic tab and messed up the card reader now.. good thing we kept the light.
@IH8PEOPLE that's exactly what happened to me, but it wasn't a Christmas gift, tho!
@@AhmedZ19 I fixed it last week, screwdriver kit was like 20$ CAN on Amazon and all I needed was the tweezers..
Thank you. Just fixed my sons. Found 2 flat pins. Fixed with a pick set. Didn’t have to take apart. You are the man. Saved us a $130 repair bill
This worked!! I was so happy I could cry. Can’t thank you enough for the advise!!
none of mine are bent but my game still dont read some of my favorite games, ive tried tons of videos but they all dont work. i have 3 minecraft cards but it dont read any of them.
Same 😡☹️
SAME my Minecraft game card isn’t working and I’m so pissed bruh like I’m trying to play
@@shinicisgirlfriend9526 my Luigi’s mansion card doesn’t read
Same😢😢😢
Same@@melsxfavs
Dude! Yours was the first video I checked because my Pokémon Sword/Shield edition Switch Lite stopped reading the game cart! I watched your video and... it turns out... the bottom left pin had been bent down. I got it fixed without taking it apart, also using my cell phone to get a good look! Thanks man!
Also, super glad I got it fixed because it has a 1TB SD card, about 60% used with games and saved data, that I was trying to get moved onto a 400GB card.
How did you do it without taking apart the switch?
@@hehehehhehehaheahhe flashlight and a very pointed tweezer.
thank you so much for this genuinely. this was straightforward and very useful. it made me not go into panic. i used a long small screw driver and it worked perfectly just pushing the pin back into place
What if both of them don't work?
It worked for me! Thanks a lot.
I like this guy's enthusiasm at the end.
The triangle screwdriver is rare. Which makes it easier for people to just have gamestop or Nintendo do it for them
Yo, so my cousins came in with their switch and a pin is missing.
I've fixed my 3ds with the same problem (Bent pin) but there was no missing pin.
So i wonder if there's a remplacement for it.
Edit: after further examination there are TREE missing pins. please help
poor of you. looks like you won’t be playing any switch cartridge game any soon
Thanks for this, my Switch hasn't worked with all my game cards for years. For some reason Mario Kart 8 and 2x copies of Super Mario 3D All-Stars didnt work. Putting headphones in the jack and all of them now work. Bloody weird! I was close to going out and buying an OLED Switch but didn't want to waste £300 on another switch.
Thank you man, I am a legend in this house and I got a new switch! My brother had gotten a switch 3 years ago and it had this problem and we went to GameStop, a few tech shops and they couldn’t fix it. I thought about it and wanted to see if it’d work. I came home from school, searched it up, clicked on this video and, put in earphones and now I have a switch! My sister is getting my switch lite so we are all happy out. My brother got the Oled after they said it would be €350 to get it repaired!
Thank you so much! I had bought a game and it didn't read, but now it does!
Eminem but bald
TYSM for this vid! I've been playing Switch with headphones a lot recently and the first solution of putting a headphone jack in as I put the game in worked for me. I never would have thought of that on my own. Hopefully it stays working.
Thank you!! This totally worked I looked inside the game port and one of the wires were bent down!! So I used a sewing needle without taking the console apart and bent the wire back up. I’m good I know 😎 😂 appreciate your video!!!
Do u have a totorial how to take it apart
Great video, this really helped and gave me an idea of what to look for to get my son's Switch to work again. Now it is good to go!
Wished they made the pins a lot stronger
Thank you for the advice
Do you do the same thing to get microSD cards to read?
what if it's just 1 game that randomly doesn't work? game looks fine, game chip looks fine with no damage. would that be that the flash storage of the chip just randomly died?
My switch has no bent pins but still will now work if I insert Minecraft. I’ve tried all things on the official Nintendo help website but nothing worked. Any advice?
If nothing is damaged and you bought your switch under 2 years ago, your switch is still under warranty. And if there is no damage to the game card reader, it's still under warranty, and you can send it in to Nintendo. However, if there is something damaged and if it didn't happen randomly, then you have to have to pay for the repair. Also, you need a receipt to prove that you have bought the switch before the warranty expiry date. (Warranty automatically starts as soon as you buy your switch from a retailer, I don't know about 2nd hand)
Headphone jack thing worked for us...thanks dude! : )
Thank you soo much! I fixed my son's game. ❤
Thank you soooooo much!! After you said straighten the pins I kept trying and now it’s reading again!!!!! Thank you thank you thank you!!!
thanks, your first "hack" worked for me. now I can play zelda totk with my son again!
The audio jack worked. Thx bro
Does the pins have to be facing up or down?
"BECAUSE WHY?!" Is the only logical response for that😂
No one wants to help me fix mine so i can't sadly I've been stuck with this from last year and from that day i started hating switch first Joycon drift and now this the site that they said doesn't even work but thank you I'll try and get someone to fix it
Go to Craigslist’s and search for switch repairs. If ur Canadian go to Kijiji. I used Kijiji
I don't have the tools to open my switch but I tried putting it in at an angle first and it works! I can play my very first switch finally with my first game being breath of the wild
Omg the headphones trick worked thanks
I think I have a bent pin but I don't have any pliers small enough to get in there and find out for certain. Purchasing an $8 screwdriver set and I'll find out soon enough.
it’s been two years tysm
Tysm I gotta go to a repair place now I thought there was some dirt in my switch but there's probably a pin bent
Thanks for the help I just did everything and it works now
Thanks fixed and I did not need to pull apart I relished I can use a fine folded pice wire like a hook be careful not to pull to much
dude today buy dvid-dvid cable to get 144hz 1920x1080 but when im change to 144hz i got problem because i see "incorrect cable, use dual link cable" where is problem?
Thanks man it was one of the sensors that was a but bent now back to gaming thank you.
Aren’t you worried about the flap thing breaking off that holds the top of game card entrance in place?The Switch is so fragile I am scared to death to change games in the Switch
My son said yesterday his switch stopped working, he looked scared to tell me. He said “IT WORKS”” but.. The games won't.... Play...”
I instantly was like, “ur good, it's bent pins. Bring it over tomorrow” he was just like steamrolled, kissed his mom sent him on his way, turn around and in my head said, “he wouldn't have made it long with a game boy or snes.”
Couldn’t fart on a wood floor without the game cart glitching.
Thats when I realized I’m old.
This is happening to me with a brand new game out of package, yet has no problem reading other games?
That there's problem with your copy of the game
Awesome. Thanks dude. Fixed
THANK YOU! my dad accidentally bent the pins, and i was able to do it without opening up my switch!
thank you R3DLIN3S i used the headphone jack trick and am now able to play animal crossing
One game in particularly was malfunctioning, the headphone one did it for me (don’t ask me why lol) thanks!
What if it doesn’t do anything at all when I put a game in
My card reader stopped working a few months ago but I don't trust myself to open the Switch up
I also don't have any money so there go all my physical games :(
Thank you, thank you, thank you. 🎉🎉🎉
Restarting my switch, and putting the game in while it was off worked for me
THANK YOU!!! IT WORKS!!❤
My switch's pins got all jacked up after my kid stuck a Lego in the cardslot. Good tips will be using my phone to brighten and magnify. Hopefully they aren't too jacked up, I want to play BOTW again.
I genuinely thought they were supposed to be facing down thank you so much
I have a brand new switch that I buy and never used and it won’t read any games.
My pins are not bent the last time I try this system it read game’s perfect fine it sear on the charger for like 3 years and never got used.
Bro my switch is 3 years old and I tried cleaning the card reader with a cotton swab but now it doesn't work
thank you so much
Dude I really just kept the same game inside not really switch games and it just stopped reading... I guess by keeping a game inside the switch for months and months it'll damage the pins? Don't make sense but I guess.
Mine also was a bent pin, fortunately it was a top pin and fixed it in 5 minutes after watching this
I don’t think it’s my pen in my switch because every other game is playing and downloading and reading except for my Luigis mansion three
i have this problem on gameboy advance but i have to blow the cartridge with my mouth.
This would happen to me for the first time with tears of the kingdom
Thank you!!
What if all of mine are bent?
I have tried this and watched the video this has not fixed my problem.
Im pretty sure my games are just broken cause it reads ALL games except for 2 of them
I just opened this video and popped the cartridge in just to see if it worked. It did😅
Whatever you do, DON'T use a cotton swab, cos that’ll make the problem worse.
I cound't see idk know my is bent its like bruh cant see anything in it my mom bot be subnaustica and it saids card cant read im mad
My Games work but one game doesent😢
But it is only happening to one game
I accidentally snapped the bent pin
For me only one game does this
I did it without dissembling it I did it with a floss pick not recommended
Thank u boss
Much appreciated sir 👌
You are looking like gandia in money heist
Intense! I will add it to my résumé. Cheers!
Wow another video that didn’t work 😡
How about when your kid inserts a ouece of bowser kego pretending its a f. Game card....i removed the lego with tweezers byt all the bleeping pins are mangled. F!!!!
OMG thank youu
TYSM 0:43 THIS IS WHAT HELPED ME
Dude thanks I have to take it to a place where they fix it and it also smells like fire??
So... Yeah time to destroy my switch
Crap
Thank you!!!
