    Isn’t this common? From what I know water damage isn’t covered under warranty by anyone.

      The title here seems misleading, in Nintendo’s favour. Apparently Nintendo claims there is water damage to get around a repair.

        My guy did not open it up to show us so I guess we will never know.

        He did show a video of someone else tearing down a brand new one and it already had rust inside so that is suspicious and we’ll know in short order if that becomes a widespread issue.

        Imagine Nintendo having to recall 5M Switch 2s 😬

      Sorry, it’s water damage

      • Nintendo, when you ask for a warranty repair that definitely isn’t water damage.

      Nintendo has a history of BS repair refusals.

      I had an LCD failure on a GBA, they said it was dropped when it wasn’t and I found photo evidence of a retail unit with the same size and shape failure.

      They did fix it, but it was like pulling teeth.

      It sounds like the water indicator stickers did not change color. But they said that water can still get in / water damage can occur regardless.

      I also asked for a picture and they flatly refused that they don’t do that.https://www.reddit.com/r/consolerepair/comments/1lugq83/bricked_switch_2_nintendo_claiming_water_damage/n1y1kga/

    Remember, Nintendo is a corporation and never on the side of the consumer. They are literal clowns - on the surface they are colorful and try and make you laugh, but inside they are dead and soulless.
