Restore your console’s storage with a professional Micro SD reader replacement.
The Micro SD port is essential for any digital gamer. Whether it’s due to wear and tear or bent internal pins, a faulty reader prevents you from accessing your downloaded games and save data stored on external cards.
Common Symptoms:
System Error: "The microSD card was removed" pops up during gameplay.
Missing Storage: The console only displays internal system memory.
Download Errors: Unable to install new games or updates due to "missing" storage.
At Micro-Techno, we swap the faulty module and perform a full diagnostic to ensure your data transfers are stable and fast.

Nintendo Switch microSD Reader Repair
Is it the reader or my microSD card?
Test your card in a computer or another device: if it works there, the console’s reader is at fault. The diagnosis is free.
Will I lose the content of my card?
No. We repair the console’s reader, not the card: its content stays intact. Your saves are stored in the console’s internal memory and are not affected.
Should I bring my microSD card?
Yes, bring it: we test the new reader with your card before returning your console.
Which models do you repair?
All of them: Switch, Switch Lite, Switch OLED and Switch 2.
How long does the microSD reader repair take?
1.5 hours from when we receive your console. For a mail-in repair, add the Purolator shipping time, which depends on your city.
Can I send my console for the microSD reader repair from outside Montreal?
Yes. Our Purolator mail-in service covers all of Canada. Your label is emailed to you after booking. Pack your console in a rigid box with padding.
Is my console insured during shipping?
Yes, your console is insured for its value both ways, with tracking and signature on delivery.
A drifting controller? We repair it too
Your character or camera moves on its own, without touching the joystick? That is “stick drift”, a very common joystick wear issue. No need to buy a new controller: we replace the joysticks, with a choice of standard analog joysticks or TMR joysticks, more durable and designed to resist drift. Bring your controllers along with your console.
