Released on July 28th, 2017, the New Nintendo 2DS XL is a handheld gaming console succeeding the Nintendo 2DS.

How do I diagnose and fix my SD card slot?

my 2DS XL cannot read SD cards anymore. i believe it's a hardware issue with the SD card slot, because my computer can read the SD card, inserting other cards changes nothing. turning the DS on shows an error message saying:

and it just stops trying to read the SD card. it's a teal gamestop refurbished N2DS Xl, softmodded with lumacfw. i've had it for a while.

Hi there!

Yes, could be caused by a faulty/dirty Micro Sd card slot.

First, just try to clean it! Clean it with some isopropryl alcohol and see if the pins inside are clean. Also check if it’s damaged or not.

If it is damaged or not working after good cleaning, you probably need to replace the port…

This is difficult as you do need to solder. You can get it out with a heat gun. Do you have any soldering experience? If not, you can ask a local repair shop to do the repair for you.

If you have any questions, please let us know!
