Some Switch owners have encountered a problem where Switch won't read the game cartridge.
Seems to be a rare issue, but there's apparently a strage fix to it.

Poor connection between Card slot and mainboard via the ribbon connector, headphone jack is on the same board so all he's doing is getting the pc to flex and briefly make contact on the ribbon connector

This is what I thought too.

Its just another bad hardware design issue.... jebus.

Hopefully Nintendo does a revison of the Switch soon, where the joy-con is fixed, and this Card Slot is improved too.

Good thing I'm waiting for December for my Switch then XD

The issue probably stems from all the people putting game cards in their mouths
