What it means
Nintendo says 2211-0519 can be displayed while updating software via Local Users if the software update data has become corrupt. Its steps separate a one-off fault while receiving it, fixed by repeating it, from corrupt data on the console that has the latest version (the source console), which is checked and, if needed, archived so the software and its update can be redownloaded. If it persists, the way out is to connect to the internet and update the software manually. The code does not indicate that either console is broken.
