A:AnswerI’ve experienced this one time. It registered a connection, but screen was blank. Took out Switch, reseated in dock, and made sure all wired connections were completely plugged in. Haven’t had issues since.
A:AnswerI've had this for over a month with heavy use. It's in this dock almost all the time through all the system updates. . No issues. Some people had this confused with the Nyko dock which DID cause issues.
A:AnswerOnly place would be offerup or eBay unfortunately. If you only need the actual console that'll be the cheapest and easiest route. Bit it come at the cost of no warranty on the product.
A:AnswerI was not aware of issues with the dock bricking switches! I have two of these docks and both perform as they should with no issues at all. I don't see Rocketfish covering any warranties with the Switch though, not their speed!
