![]() ![]() Nintendo wanted the Switch to slide very smoothly in and out of its dock-but the USB-C mechanical design spec doesn't allow for that. There is one area in which the rumors of Switches getting bricked due to proprietary, non-standard Nintendo design is correct, however. The literal smoking gun here is the maximum voltage rating on the Configuration Channel pin (used for negotiating power delivery rates), listed at 6V. ![]() There doesn't appear to be a datasheet available for the M92T36, but there is an available datasheet for a very similar chipset, Rohm Semiconductor's M92T30. As Redditor "VECTORDRIVER" explained on Thursday, the Switch uses an M92T36 Power Delivery chip-and that's the part that most frequently burns out after use of third-party charging equipment. Thanks to a recent deeper dive from an engineer's research, we have more insights as to the real cause-and reason to believe that users' initial suspicions weren't quite accurate. ![]() Many people suspected that the Nintendo Switch is not properly USB-C PD (power delivery) compliant. And for good reason: scary, anecdotal reports about third-party Switch docks " bricking" the machine popped up soon after the console received its version 5.0 update in early 2018. For over a year, Nintendo Switch owners have wondered about-and outright feared-plugging their "hybrid" portable console into unofficial docks. ![]()
