hello. does the switch use hdcp? I can't seem to get it to work on a second television. I bought each component separately: the dock directly from Nintendo, the power cable from best buy, and the hdmi cable on ebay. I'm not sure what the problem is. I have it, and my tv, plugged into a hdmi switcher. it detects my tv, but I can't get it to detect my switch.

Yes it does HDCP, although the implementation is poor (which is why a lot of people had problems with some TVs and monitors when 5.0.0 was released - most of the issues were fixed, but not all). Your issue could be HDCP related, could be all kinds of other things though.

Bypass the hdmi switch and retest if you haven't already. Then swap out components from your known good setup until you rule out the issue. Some say to manually change resolution on the switch.

    Will you give me mouth to mouth oxygen if my throat closes?
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Nah the air can do that
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Ask @x65943 he's trained for that stuff
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    Kissing random dudes choking in celery? Really? Need to study for that?
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Yes it requires a degree
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    I could also yank out the rest of my teeth but theirs professionals for that
  • x65943 @ x65943:
    If your throat closes, putting oxygen in your mouth will not solve anything - as you will be introducing oxygen prior to the area of obstruction
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    Just kiss me Kyle.
  • x65943 @ x65943:
    You either need to be intubated to bypass obstruction or create a stoma inferior to the the area of obstruction to survive
  • x65943 @ x65943:
    "Just kiss me Kyle." And I thought all the godreborn gay stuff was a smear campaign

    Sweet found my Wii u PSU right after I ordered a new one :tpi:
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    It was waiting for you to order another one.
    Seems like, your PSU was waiting for a partner.
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    Keep them both
    separated or you'll have more PSUs each year.
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Well one you insert one PSU into the other one you get power
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    It literally turns it on.
