Looking for some guidance on an issue I am having with my switch lite. I bought a used switch lite that worked for about a month with no issues. All of a sudden when turning on the console out of sleep I started receiving messages that the SD card was removed from the system and that I had to turn off the switch. Other times while playing a game installed on the SD card I would get a different error, maybe 2002-2001. that is related to the microSD card; I never took a picture of the error and I can't remember the exact code. I have tried swapping microsd cards and even replaced the microsd card reader itself, but I am still receiving the error. Any ideas on what I should check on the lite as I am out of ideas and I can't see to find any diagrams that tell me where the traces go. I was trying to get an XZZ account, but going that route would cost $40 for a month's access where I could get a replacement working board for a bit more. Any and all help would be greatly appeciated.

Might be a small crack on the PCB where the SD card reader connects.
Since you're able to replace the SD card reader, you could run some fine wires (coil winding wires) between the legs of the SD card reader and the test points.
Since this is a used Switch, you never know what the previous owner did with it.
