Hardware need help/advice for my broken switch

insomniac45177 · Nov 18, 2019

was playing pokemon on my switch today and out of no where it tells me my sd card was removed and shut down. i tried other sd cards but none of them were reading. so i took it apart and found that my sd slot connection is broken away from my board. i just got my 8th badge and im losing my shit here. what are my options? im fully updated to newest FW. i currently dual boot sxos and atmosphere. i have my prodkeys and biskeys from my yuzu install that required both of them. what can i do? am i screwed? can i do a mb swap? where the hell is tiny solder guy? where can i send it to get this fixed? i have the sd slot and i have the tiny connector that broke from the board. i dont know what happened but it looks like a clean flush break. can anyone please help me here?????

P.S.
Tiny Solder Guy if you read this HIT ME UP!!!!!

P.S.S.
furthermore does anybody know if im able to transfer my save and everything needed over to my yuzu so i can continue my game? thanks in advance

That card slot "clips" onto the main board

just push it and "clip" it back on. Remove the sponge on top of it first(if you want to)

edit:

Ive uploaded the picture of it, and on the top left you can see the connector. Just align to the board and gently push to click in

OP stated that the connector on the mainboard came off. You know, the part that the SD module clicks in to

We have a new Tiny Soldering Guy. https://gbatemp.net/threads/new-user-here-some-of-my-ps2-modchip-installs.551812/
Or you could send it off to TronicsFix. He does most repairs for $99 and has a YouTube channel if you want to see his work. https://tronicsfix.com/collections/get-started

to be completely honest...i know i have very few options. i found on ebay screen only switches guaranteed hackable and unbanned. my broken one has been super banned since the early days of switch hacking. i might just buy another and maybe still send this one off. was wanting the new pokemon switch lite but i mean i have 11 joycons and 5 pro controllers that would almost be useless. maybe its for the better. ill end up with 2 normal old switches instead. probably my best option in the long run i think.

still tho man i feel so defeated having to wait till a new one gets here. we have been through so much. i replaced my joycon rail...i wrote a tutorial about how to do rcm with no jig by removing eMMC. i mean this was my day 1 console with no burned fuses. it was my baby. not to mention i had just received my 8th badge on sword. maybe a little sad since im a grown ass man but still. iv got 8 nintendo tattoos a man room completely nintendo'd out and even named my son link. sighs man

11 joycons and 5 pro controllers, damn. Why that many? Can you even use more than 4 pro controllers in any game? Or more than 4 sets of joycons for that matter.
I just have a pro controller and 2 sets of JoyCons, that seems like the best "budget" setup, can play 4 player in games that require single JoyCons like Mario Party, play 3 player with the two JoyCon sets and the Pro Controller (got a charging grip and the normal grip that came with the Switch for those), and on the rare occasion I get a chance to play 4 player, two players will just have to use single JoyCons, but that happens so rarely, it's not even a concern.

i bought a few non working ones and fixed them to have as spares. i have 4 pro controllers for my switch and one i use as my primary pc controller. 3 of them i bought as non working ones also that i fixed
