Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

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.
[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 20 points 17 hours ago

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/

Lol they'll also say the same in humid environments when there is no water damage, but the humidity has changed the stickers.

Sooo... Uhh...

Japan ?

Can't imagine why, water takes up most of our planet.
