[MaxiTheFox]

my switch dock broke, i bought a 3rd party one from ebay and now it complains about it not being compatible. is there a way around this? ive tried 3 different hdmi cables and another tv

You REALLY dont want to use a 3rd party dock my friend.... Even the ones that are HDCP compatible are flaky and known to harm the switch units. If you managed to find one that is not its like a knock off of a knock off and I would suggest never using it unless you want to damage your switch.

Then get the first party original dock. Safest way. Also your screen is broken AND your dock is broken? Take better care of your stuff man

Look at the online Nintendo store, you can get a refurbished dock for the same price of a 3rd party dock
