Sd card reader stop working

[Rogue74]

Hello, I had a modded switch, and it stopped reading the sd card. I tried the sd card in my pc, and it works ok. Is this a common problem on modded or unmodified switches?

What model switch?

What model switch?

V2 switch.

V2 switch.

I have seen quite a few OG and V2 models with bad fpc connectors on the switch board. Seems to happen over time.

Pretty common if you eject a lot.

Is it easy to fix? Are the sd card reader in the oleds any better?

You can try buying SD card flex see if that fix your problem, hopefully you don't have any missing pins.

OLED has solid hard solder on daughterboard compared to OG/V2 SD reader connector through a fragile FPC connector,

Thank you everyone.

Hello,

Did you find a solution for the sd ?


I’m new to all of this and I’ve been searching this sub and google, but no luck so far. Any help is appreciated!

I just bought a V1 switch to mod but it turns out it was already modded (it came with an rcm loader, jig, and an sd card). My issue is that it’s not loading in rcm mode, nothing happens (black screen).
The rcm loader seems updated (2022). Led light up when connected to pc. No light when loader is plugged in switch in rmc mode.

The SD card is not detected on the switch, but is readable on PC and has what I assume all the firmware and apps.
Seller was only able to help by saying that the loader needs charging and the sd card should be recognised in rcm mode. RCM loaded has been charging for more than an hour and still no luck.
I formatted the sd card, factory set the switch, but sd card still not showing up in switch, tried another sd, same issue.

After that, I followed the NH switch guide to mod (without rcm loader) but got stuck at sd card error.

Please tell me there’s an easy fix for this and not a sd card reader issue
I apologise if I have missed anything, feel free to ask for more info!
