Un unlucky Switch owner claims that his freshly purchased 1GB microSD card has melted his Nintendo Switch.
As reported on the Nintendo Switch Reddit, proclaimed Switch owner ‘NefariousZhen’ claims that his brand-new SanDisk Extreme PLUS 1GB microSD has burned a hole in his Switch. “I thought that I was getting a good deal on Black Friday when I bought a 1TB micro sdxc card”, he writes. “Apparently not! It melted the switch the first time I turned it on after installing (it was off as required). Switch is at version 9.1.0.”
According to the unlucky Switch owner, the card in question is the SanDisk - Extreme PLUS 1TB microSDXC UHS-I Memory Card, which normally sells for more than $400 USD. We’ve included an image of the melted Switch that was posted down below:
“I smelled the magic smoke”, he later added. “Touched it barely with my finger and it was massively hot. I popped it out with the SD adapter that came with the card which was luckily on hand (as I was just installing the card)... I think I might have prevented worse damage.”
If what NefariousZhen writes is correct, his Switch was turned off when installing the card and it was left in the Switch for roughly 20 seconds. “The switch was off. It is required to be off when installing an SD card... When I turned it on, it didn't even show the Nintendo logo. I soon smelt what can only be described as burnt transistors and melting plastic, flipped it back around, touched the slot (dumb idea!) and then went into panic mode to pop it back out.”
Whether this 'issue' has been caused by a defective Nintendo Switch or microSD remains to be seen. According to NefariousZhen, SanDisk has been contacted. We’ll update in case we learn more about this matter.
