    When you said you're going to get the corner damp, you never specified what you used. You should never use water, as these damage metal contacts and metal surfaces over time. It is best to use 97% IPA or higher for electronics. Other than that, thanks for helping me out with this issue.

      Most likely most of the time the reader can be fragile and the pins that connect to the PCB of the game card, has unfortunately gotten bent and may need to replace the reader itself@@Mattamus

      Yea. I used a clean white towel. But does it move while its in the switch? If it does you could hold it down. S And that might could work too. Or you can refund if it's pretty new.

      I used water but some commenters mentioned maybe that’s not the best to use since it could lead to damage to the metal portions of the card. Something with 97% IPA was also recommended.

      check if it works with other games to be sure it’s not the card reader inside the Switch.
      try a few times to make sure all the contacts get clean, I had a game where it took me like 3 times of repeating the cleaning steps before it worked!
