In addition to hardware manufacturing defects, players who want to buy a second-hand Nintendo Switch 2 need to be wary of the inability to use second-hand hosts due to online service blockade.While these lockdowns are Nintendo's means to prevent piracy and modification of hosts, they have also raised concerns about the long-term availability of the Switch 2.

Recently, some RedDi users reported that the second-hand Switch 2 it bought at Walmart at a discount of $50 was turned into a brick.An error code 2124-4508 appears when booting, indicating that the host is permanently prohibited from accessing the Internet and all Nintendo online services.Since most modern games need to be updated or run online, this Switch 2 has actually become scrap iron.

According to the Nintendo support page, the error code means a violation of the user license agreement.Indicates that the host has been tampered with (for example, using a MIG Switch to store multiple games) or similar violations of the Code of Conduct.Given that this error is bound to the host hardware rather than the user account, it is impossible to unblock even if the system is reset.

Although posters eventually succeed in returning the product and receiving a refund, not all second-hand console buyers are so lucky.As time goes by, when the Switch 2 price becomes more affordable, consumers may be more inclined to buy brand new consoles.However, considering the current market demand and the shortage of hosts, consumers are advised to confirm that the equipment is intact before purchasing (regardless of new and old).
