Third-party docks seem to be bricking Switch systems with version 5.0.0
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Switch gained a new update this past week. While it added some features and implemented some improvements, it unfortunately seems to be causing major issues for third-party docks.
A number of docks not made by Nintendo have been released over the past year, including from Nyko. YouTuber Spawn Wave reports that his system has been completely bricked after using the company’s device with the latest Switch update. It simply won’t turn on, and it currently seems that all save data will be lost as a result.
