I was playing Portal on my Switch Lite when my micro SD card suddenly stopped working. It gives me an error message saying it's unable to access the card and suggests I turn off the console and reinsert the micro SD card. Has anyone experienced this before? Any advice or directions to resources that could help me troubleshoot this?

Sounds frustrating! When you get that error, it might be helpful to check if the SD card is physically damaged. Also, have you tried inserting it into a computer to see if it can be read there? Sometimes the card might be fine, but the Switch just needs a little reset. Let us know what you find out!
Good call! If the card won't show up on a computer, it might be time to consider a replacement.
I've seen similar issues before. If the card isn't working on the Switch at all, try cleaning the contacts gently with a soft cloth. Sometimes dust can cause a bad connection. But if it still doesn't work, it could be toast.
Definitely check the card on your computer. If it’s readable there, you might need to reformat it, but be careful as that can erase everything on the card!
