Don't use the Nyko dock that has been linked to bricked Switches prior to 5.0.0..
I'll have to look into that. I've only heard about Nyko docks. II'm not pointing at Nyko dock directly, it seem like other third party dock too, it just seem nintendo put something in that 5.0.0 update cause bootrom error and hardware incompatibility.
Not saying third-party docks AREN'T killing Switches, but... Why would 5.0.0 have anything to do with it?...
I'd argue that in all three cases they're hardware incompatibilitiesThere's always a possibility that a bug could have come from the update causing issues with 3rd party adapters. Hell, for a while Samsung and iPhone would all but reject unofficial chargers.
Shouldn't be, it sounds like it's an issue of improper resistance or voltage regulationDoes this also apply to dock extenders? I have one plugged in to my official dock that I plug my switch into. Will that be an issue?
That's actually not a dock, just a USB hub to connect wired controllers, keyboards, and... not much else. The HORI website says, "Since this product has no HDMI terminal attached, it can not be used in TV mode. Please note." (translated through google translate)
Whew, thank you.Shouldn't be, it sounds like it's an issue of improper resistance or voltage regulation
Well, Nyko, yes. That's a given, as they've had reports of said issues prior to 5.0.0.. I'm just saying that bugs that cause this issue do happen.I'd argue that in all three cases they're hardware incompatibilities
oh i guess you're right i thought the point of the third party dock was to play off tv though. i guess i misunderstood what a dock was supposed to do.That's actually not a dock, just a USB hub to connect wired controllers, keyboards, and... not much else.

Just seems to be poor circumstance, I guess. Every report I've found is from the Nyko dock owners. I've got an Insignia dock, and haven't had issues. Haven't updated though, so my input is null in this regard.yeah, is there any confirmation that it is something about 5.0.0 specifically that's killing 3rd party docks, or could these reports just be more reports from those unfortunate enough to have received a faulty dock/used the a wrong AC adapter who happened to have updated and have jumped to the conclusion that their misfortune must be tied to the firmware update?
I'm not saying the update to 5.0.0 couldn't trigger something like that unexpectedly, I just question, how exactly that would be the case, and if we're even certain it is the update responsible for these latest docks failing.
