I think I broke my Switch; is there a way to fix this? (SD card slot issue)

[Carefree_dude]

I've been using atmosphere custom firmware for a long time now, mostly to do things like use cheats or make save backups. I have been using USB tools in hekate so I don't need to remove the SD card. I noticed it always says "Make sure to unmount SD card" on the switch. I was always very careful with this, however one day there was a power outage, and the SD card was not properly unmounted since it was connected to the PC still.

Now, the SD card slot in the switch doesn't work properly. The system now seems to usually not see the SD card in at all. When it does, it usually doesn't stay connected for very long. The switch can just be sitting there still, and it will randomly say "The SD card has been removed".

I've tried replacing the SD card, but the new card has the same issues.

Is there a way I can fix this?

Sound like you either damaged the flex on damaged the connector on the board.

The actual SD card connector is either faulty or the pins on the connection are broken. This is the most common fault on the switch from repeatedly inserting and ejecting a SD card. They are very weak and flimsy parts
