Nyko hit with class-action lawsuit over 3rd party Nintendo Switch Dock controversy

/tinfoil hat on
Going to say it seems a bit iffy that they worked fine untill the update and then Nintendo even know why it happened, makes you wonder if they deliberately stressed the resistor

Didn't apple do something similar with third party screen repairs? They worked fine until apple updated their software and bricked a load of phones and ipads?
 
It's not Nintendo intentionally blocking these docks. Nyko is cheaping out and not putting a required resistor in the dock. The lack of the resistor is causing the damage to the console.

Nintendo is absolutely crazy on their 1st party dock though. All the switch accessories are grossly overpriced.
 
yeah, i was trying to find the USB-C charging circuit schematics so i could see exactly which resistor Nintendo was referring too.

Seems kind of odd that Nyko would leave out a resistor, when most surface mounts cost fractions of a cent for individual resistors. I'm leaning more towards someone hasn't followed the standard properly.
 
And this pops up just after. Coincidence?
