Hi everyone, I am back again.

I really was wondering whether my SD card reader on Switch is already faulty or is it my SD card itself is faulty, please help me to determine the faulty part.

Like the title said, when I played games, suddenly there is a message "An error has occurred" and it happens quite often even after I reformat my SD card to FAT32.

If the issue is indeed the SD card reader, is there anyone who knew how much is it to change the SD card reader module? Also anyone who knows who can reassemble it?

Thank you

Is there any self diagnostic homebrew available? If yes, I am unable to find it anywhere. Can the forumers please help me to redirect to the correct software?

if its the sd card you can just try another sd card or do some rigorous data integrity scans on pc. I usually just buy a new sd card.

Hi @Captain_N Thanks for replying. How to identify whether my SD card slot is indeed having problem? Is there any self diagnostic homebrew that I mentioned above?

to test the slot i would try different sd cards. If all of them have issues then its the slot. Trouble shooting is a lengthy process

Thanks captain_n. Btw, is the problem possibly was because, I previously copied my Nintendo folder from my exFAT? When I use exFAT, it usually corrupting my sd card. And after I format it, I copied the Nintendo folder back to my "previously exFAT now FAT32" sd card.

The thing is, when I use my 16 GB SD card, the SanDisk Ultra 16 GB HC, it had 0 problem at all, the slot detected it properly and booted Switch up

May I know which SD card is the best for Nintendo Switch? I am currently using SanDisk Ultra 128 GB XC

Wonder if heat comes into play. Does your switch ever get hot? Mine does sometimes. Could that be an issue? I’m having a similar problem and I already replaced the card slot and reformat my micro sd card.

I think this is possible. Because when I played FF7 with Omnislash patched included, it sometimes acts like that.

Hello, test you card with h2testw on PC,

    @BigOnYa My dad recently bought a spare Series X off of me, got game pass, and saw Madden '24 on Game Pass, decided to try it out.

    ...He was a bit taken aback by the 60GB download size. Poor guy's still living in the 90s!
