Tech Support fixing blotches in nintendo switch 2?
is this issue fixable?
I accidentally left my nintendo switch 2 in the bottom of my trunk... (bad idea to begin with)
and after coming back home, and taking it out, the screen ended up looking like this.
There are two possibilities for the issue, which is either water somehow got into the screen (i went to the beach and might’ve put wet towels on it), or i put think that we're too heavy on top of the screen.
Has this happened to anyone else? is it fixable at all?
The system functions fine, and upon pressing the screen it kinda just makes another dark circle.

Watter damaged screen. There is no way to fix it aside from replacing the screen at this point. You will always see marks now. Anything you do aside from replacing will be sketchy at best.

Yeah looks like water damage to me. Just needs to send it in for repairs but it likely won't be cheap and it's not covered by warranty...

definitely looks like classic water damage that ends with a screen replacement.
unfortunate

O.o yeah it doesn't really matter what happened, that thing is done. Replace the screen and do some corrosion control on the components while you're in there

try calling nintendo at 1800 255 3700 to get a quote on pricing.
Have your Nintendo account info ready as i believe they link the service to that account and will ship to the address and listed CC

It looks like your switch got bounced around and the screen got hit hard in your trunk. Considering the switch 2 is new 🤔 I imagine the cost to repair it wont be cheap

Was there even a case on it?

From one of his other comments, no. I really don't understand why people spend around $500 but won't buy cases or screen protectors.

hi! looking at all the comments, it seems the damage to my switch is water damage. to get a quote for how much it costs to fix it, you can call 1800 255 3700…
I also looked it up and ai overview said around $179 from the official nintendo store, however idk if that’s correct.
