district court of central California against peripheral manufacturer Nyko after one of the company's docks bricked his console. Nyko's docks proved popular upon release as they were smaller and cheaper than the real thing, but after the , it was discovered that third-party docks like Nyko's were "bricking" consoles.

Skiathitis found that his Nyko dock - purchased at a Walmart in Jacksonville, Florida - bricked his console shortly after purchase. He sent the console to Nintendo for repair in April and duly informed Nyko about the issue. Because save data is tied to the console on a hardware level, he'll most likely have lost all of his progress.

Skiathitis' suit claims: ...unbeknownst to consumers, the Nyko Portable Docking Kits for Nintendo Switch are prone to causing numerous problems to the devices that they are intended to support. Skiathitis also says that Nyko didn't do enough to warn customers of any potential problems. Nintendo, for its part, has telling Switch owners to only use officially licensed or first-party accessories - including docks - with their Switch.

The bricking only happened after Nintendo put out an update, and it's hardware that Nintendo hadn't OK'd to be used with the Switch in the first place so it's on the consumer. Nyko didn't sell the dock knowing this would happen. If anyone is to blame here it's Nintendo for not following USB-C standards as said.

The new fake review on amazon UK is pretty incredible as I don't think you can actually recieve it yet and there is a"verified purchase" 5 star review! Also, all their marketing photos are photoshopped and carefully staged.

I can see why it's a court case now. Can't quite see how this is Nyko's fault when it seems linked to Nintendo's own software update and implementation of USB-C, not to mention it's not licensed so is use at your own risk. It's a shame that he'll lose all of his data due to Nintendo somehow still not being aware that cloud saving has existed a very long time.

From what I have read the dock tends to fry the chip that tells the switch to charge and the only way it can be fixed is by replacing it which is risky to do on your own. There is a company claiming they can fix your Switch for about a 100 bucks which is alot but it is still cheaper than buying an all new Switch and you can keep your save data. They might not be, there isn't really enough information for me to fully decide who's at fault.

Except that just because something's a standard doesn't mean that it's a required standard to be abided by--else it wouldn't have gotten FCC approval in the first place. Not to mention, "USB, short for Universal Serial Bus, is an industry standard that was developed to define cables, connectors and protocols for connection, communication, and power supply between personal computers and their peripheral devices." I don't think that a game console could be construed as a personal computer (no matter how one performs any kind of mental acrobats to reach that conclusion) nor a peripheral device for a personal computer.

Not to bash you (Or Nintendo for that matter), but what is the actual point of a standard if it's "More of a guideline"? Although i agree with the "If Nintendo are dead-set on doing proprietary things with the dock, make your own proprietary standard"-argument, this whole affair is a matter of all three parties (Nintendo, Nyko and the end user) doing their share in this mess... I remembered buying a 1st party dock set last year for $76.31 (best buy open box) for the living room.

As all the dock does is basically be an extension cord, my Switch plays and charges just fine. Reportedly (I don't have one), the Nyko dock forces the screen on the Switch to stay on even in docked mode. This is most likely what's bricking consoles.

At the end of the day when Nintendo states not to use unlicensed stuff, they absolve themselves of any blame if stuff goes wrong because of unlicensed products It's neither me, Nintendo, or Nyko's fault. It's all y'all fault for being cheap and buying a third party dock in the first place. Third party accessories will never match the quality of first party products no matter what and only a few manage to outdo first party and that usually happen decades later.

There's always a risk when buying anything, especially if it's a third party product because they won't be officially supported. No company plans to have products that do this so of course they wouldn't mention it, besides some people seem to not be having issues with the dock. I'm sure Nyko like every manufacturer feature the same disclaimers.

It’s in general not legal to trick customers. The law cannot and should not define everything. Nintendo has created a mess no doubt, but Nyko could have still built the dock to the same specifications of Nintendo’s and I assume the case will allege that it was reasonable for a consumer buying a product marketed as a Switch dock specifically for this piece of hardware had been developed to the same standards as Nintendo’s.

The issue with basing a defence around the fact it’s Nintendo deviating from the standard is that this product was explicitly sold as being a Switch accessory. If it was some form of universal cable and not sold explicitly as supporting the Switch that’d be a different matter as the manufacturer wouldn’t have advertised support for the system which had adopted a non standard implementation. Sucks and Nintendo has created a problem here for third parties, but I think the responsibility for anyone selling something as a “Switch” accessory is to ensure it complies with the Switch specifications, not necessarily the USB-C standards.

Just to inform people who still believe this is a USB-C issue, it is not. The "bricking" is due to damage to the Power IC M92T36 component in the Switch, which handles proper power negotiation between the Switch and the dock.

Damage to this results in improper handshaking that causes no HDMI output and intermittent charging issues. Replacement of this component fixes these problems. This is not a charging port issue as there's no damage to the USB-C port itself.
