1. Does the Switch get excessively hot when docked?
2. Is the Switch, when docked, in a well-ventilated area?
3. Are you using CFW? If so, please provide as many details about your CFW setup as possible.

Heat? Is something blocking the back of the dock?

Does it still happen if you turn airplane mode on (wifi off) before doking it?

How long you been using it? Has the thermal paste been replaced?

Yes it still happen

Maybe two years, nope, not yet


If i put the switch in the dock, i need to restart the switch. If not, the game cannot be played even after i'm taking the switch out from the dock because of the lag.

You should change the paste out, it is probably dry out already. See if changing the paste change anything for you.

Can you try another dock? Is there any USB device plugged into the dock? If so, unplugged them

i also face this issue except it only happens when its docked to my monitor and is completely fine when docked to my TV. Did you find any fix?

Might just be the monitor.

When you say lag, do you mean lag from controller? Like you press a button then it takes half a second to register on screen, and pretty soon you cant even control your character properly cause its like seconds behind?

If that's the case ive had similar issues, for me it was my joycon being too far or being blocked by something. I fixed it by placing my switch higher and nothing blocking the line of sight to my joycon. You can test it by docking your switch then playing as close to your switch as possible. Or play dock with a pro controller. If lag doesnt exist when playing close or with pro controller, then its the low signal between your switch and joycon.

And this from my day one switch in which i have never changed thermal paste, and thats with using emulators with OC. So don't think its the paste.
