I'm posting this here since I have a CFW switch and I've exhausted all currently available avenues of hardware debugging. If this is a software/firmware issue, I'd like to figure that out, and if not I'd like to eliminate the possibility.
So, I'm on firmware 9.2.0 and Kosmos 15.2 as of about a week ago, and I've been playing with it on and off the dock without issues since. I have a launch switch with all launch hardware. As of today, I booted it up to use it, and I have not been able to get it to connect to the TV. At first, it was already in the dock; the pro controller woke it from sleep and it seemed connected to the dock, but nothing was showing up on my TV. I confirmed that the TV's HDMI port and cable I was using are both working properly by connecting my mostly derelict WiiU properly. I also confirmed the official Switch power adapter was working by connecting it directly to my switch. Whenever I connect the power adapter to the dock, there is also a slight indication on the LED that it is receiving power. However, there is now no indication whatsoever that the switch is connecting to the dock in any distinguishable fashion.
So the cables are good. I then spent the next hour on google trying to solve my problem. I've power-cycled the TV, the switch and both, no change. I've connected the power cable first, then the HDMI cable, turned the TV on and set it to the correct input, then inserted the switch into the dock. No change. The switch nor dock never indicates that the other one exists.
This leads me to believe that the only thing that's faulty is the connection between the switch and the dock. The connection feels the same as it ever has, and I cannot get them to recognize each other no matter what I do.
No, I do not have access to another switch or dock, meaning I cannot definitively confirm which is at fault.
I sent away for some specialty screwdrivers, hoping to find some answers, but that's going to take a while and I'm here wanting to explore the possibility of it being a non-hardware issue, as unlikely as that may be.
Does anyone have any insight for me, or am I just stuck with a nifty handheld for the foreseeable future?
