Repair Help Switch 2 No Longer Reading Cartridges

Hello!

As simple as the title says, my switch 2 has suddenly stopped reading any game cartridges, I can only confirm for switch 1 games as I don't have any switch 2.

I have tried rebooting, both with a game in and out - Checking for available updates - Wiping down the games - blowing the inside of the slot << Currently to no use

All 3 games I took photo's with, I have previously been playing, and we were in the middle of playing Animal Crossing when it suddenly cut out

If anybody has an idea that we could try, please let me know <3 I have contacted Nintendo but I am expecting over a week before I hear anything back

My brother had a same issue and he send it in and they charged him $200 and he only had it for a couple weeks at that point but he was super careful with the switch 2
