Nintendo Switch Lite Game Card Slot Repair
Bent pins or a damaged game-card reader can stop physical games being recognised. We inspect the slot and test with a known-working game card.
This service is for Nintendo Switch Lite, model HDH-001, with built-in controls. Original Switch, OLED and Switch 2 have separate model categories.
Diagnosis and repair method
Our engineers replace the damaged or faulty reader parts and check game-card detection and game launch. This concerns physical cartridges, not downloaded games or microSD storage.
Try another compatible game card. Clean cartridge contacts only with a soft dry cloth; do not force a cartridge into a damaged slot.

What if a cartridge was pushed in backwards?
Stop inserting cards and let us inspect the pins and reader for damage.
