Hardware Problem with sd card

[Raku3702]

My switch (not hacked, og firmware) was working fine but one day it started to give me errors in the programs and crash.
Nowadays it sometimes crashes and give me errors and say the sd card was removed. It also happens sometimes when installing games.
When I play in TV mode with the og dock nothing happens and it works fine.

could be a fault sd card reader, you should take the console to a good know shop repair.

If the Switch works fine in docked mode with the same games, it's not the SD card.
It's probably something power related I think.

I think it could be because of the movement. If i move too much the switch it fails and crashes so i think the fault is in the reader.

Sound like the problem is the flex cable.

Where is the flex cable? Do i need to weld?

No need to solder, unless you are missing pin on your SD Card connector on your board.
