I will be playing a random game, and when i turn off the switch everything is fine, but when i turn it back on it says the sd card was removed although i havent even touched it. Is this a hardware issue? Its really annoying and its getting in the way of the games i want to play. Help.
#My micro sd card keeps saying its been removed although i havent removed it

help now games cant update anymore and my save data is being wacky
turn off your switch and remove the SD card and show me what the SD card looks like
earnest roost
do you have another SD card you can test with?
serene rune
not at the moment sadly
earnest roost
that's the next step then
serene rune
okay
earnest roost
find another microsd card (sandisk or samsung, preferably) and see if the problem occurs with that card
alternatively we can format and test this one
earnest roost
if the other one works, it's an indication that the current card has reached the end of its useful life
serene rune
Can i transfer data between sd cards?
earnest roost
you can, but if the sd card is failing it'll probably just transfer bad data
serene rune
damn well hope everything goes well then
earnest roost
note that your save data is stored on the console, not your sd card
