I purchased a faulty nintendo switch of ebay with the hopes of repairing it, it boots up fine and works normally however whenever trying to play a game or launch a game it comes up with “A software error has occured” no matter what game it is, I was wondering if anyone had any idea what would be up with it?
I have also factory reset it multiple times as well as other things
Usually a faulty game cartridge slot causes that. If you get a replacement off ebay order about 5 and you may get one that actually works! Be warned there’s a lot of faulty ones going about usually with slight tears in the ribbons or the connector is damaged. Inspect them with a microscope first before you install if you can.
Hey there,
I guess we can rule out a faulty cartridge reader then…
Have you tried factory resetting it from the system settings or through the recovery mode?
Hey there,
Sorry, I think my question was a bit ambiguous. I wanted to ask if you did the factory reset from the system settings or if you did it from the recovery mode.
