What it means
Nintendo documents 2002-4683 when you cannot download software from Nintendo eShop. After the system update, the corrupted data check and a redownload, the steps depend on the microSD card: with a card inserted, downloads go to it by default, so Nintendo asks you to power off, eject it and download to the system memory. If it fails even there, the console needs repair; if it only fails with the card, format it or use another card. Switch 2 only accepts microSD Express.
