I did put some extra pressure on my current reader to hear it click and notice that it would freeze each time I had a card in. Hopefully buying a replacement off of Amazon helps

[@jason_r0x0r56]

thanks for this comment my dude. "pinching" the SD card area produced a small click sound, which made my SD card work again!

Hello!
I have this problem with my Nintendo Switch OLED. Does the replacement look the same as in the case of the oldest model?

[@dryan6078]

Same question

[@dryan6078]

Hello, as someone else said, i have an OLED model, the replacement part is the same on both models?

[@Joesge]

We will be launching a video for the Oled model shortly.

[@QuantumManiac]

@@Joesge any update on this?

[@SillyGlumper]

​@@Joesgeplz make a video for it

[@mommaharrigan8001]

I tried this and the piece is not being detected on my switch still.

[@Joesge]

Make sure it is actually plugged into the board. Sometimes it looks and feels like it is, but it is not. I recommend taking off the sticky rubber thing on the SD card reader when plugging it in, then placing it back on top. Also check and see if the port on the board has any corrosion or damaged pins.

I just can't seem to be able to get the reader back on properly after opening up and cleaning the fan. it doesn't seem to click at all. I put more pressure on it and still nothing. Hope I didn't damage it now. Does not read the card at all

What brand of sd card reader did you use?

[@Joesge]

The reader is obviously Nintendo, but the SD card itself is a Sandisk.

[@FlameCloud0925]

can you recommend me any cheaper but still good brand to put in my switch@@Joesge

[@Bacitizen]

my sd card reader has no holes
