I using Paypal. Make sure the bank to Paypal part is ok.
From my experience, it was bankside to paypal that cancels the transaction.

I think Walmart do extra checking because I have none of the cancel issues with Target or Amz.

Also check reddit's r/Gamesale, you can get cheap digital game in there too.
eg I got cap toad with full dlc for about usd12.5 and mario odyssey at usd30.
Just make sure you are using Paypal G&S not Paypal gift.

I knew long before this article. In Kulim if not mistaken. Those made in Malaysia all export to Euro n US markets. Local staff can't even buy one at all. Made in China is for Asia markets.

yup. because even if the charger is 65watt or 100watt, when u plug in, there's an intelligent chip that will detect ur device max supported wattage. so it wouldn't be overload or over voltage etc. it wouldn't exceed the maximum supported voltage.

for example:
>>> 65watt charger used on s20fe (up to 25watt max supported), it will only draw ±25watt because that's the max voltage supported by the device
>>> 65watt charger used on nintendo switch, it will only draw ±40watt
>>> 100watt charger used on iPhone 12, only ±20watt is the output
>>> 100watt charger used on black shark 3 will draw ±65watt

Hi,

I would like to seek your expert advise. Currently there is no problem using the original charger and dock.

I have an Anker PowerPort PD2 per attached photo. When I plug into the original Switch dock, it does not go into TV mode. I plugged in a single port (1 device) only.

I have bought a third party dock from Shopee and I am hoping to use this Anker charger to power it.

Can this Anker charger be used with Skull&Co. Jumpgate?

Anyone have a similar issue?


Thanks

Refer to https://switchchargers.com/anker-powerport-atom-pd-2-review/

"Despite the solo connecting offering 60W, the Switch’s dock does not draw power. This is likely due to a combination of the Switch’s dock being picky about its power source. And the nature of the split/unified power in the charger."

Well kind of weird but too bad not enough power for dock based on the label at the charger. FYI, NS dock mode need at least 39W power to run if not mistaken. This Anker PowerPort Atom PD 2 only can draw 30w of each port based on the testing report in above link.

I use UGREEN 65W USB C Wall PD Charger and it working well on dock.

Thanks for sharing this post. I was looking/searching high and low for these info and cannot find it. My unit of PowerPort Atom PD 2 is the older version without GAN (bulkier I guess).

Understand that the ori dock needs 39W. However as per pic that I had shared, single port output can have 15.0v~3.0A 45.0W, which should be good enough... yet it does not work.

I guess ur UGREEN 65W is a single USB C port charger then.

Well, will see/try if the dock I had purchased can be used with this Anker charger...


Cheers

Yes My UGREEN 65W is PD charge one port which more than 1 years plus and bit bulky. Now ugreen got better GAN version which more than one ports too

I am looking at this version which can run NS in dock mode quite compact to carry (below link just to share how the charger look like since now ugreen official store sold out and need to wait for new stock):-

https://www.lazada.com.my/products/ugreen-7...7799560553.html

Since you already purchase another dock you may try but I think the result can be the same.

Well, I did another test using my notebook charger with the ori Switch dock per attached pic. It works... biggrin.gif

I am just concerned if this is an issue with dual port on a charger.

Because your notebook charger can deliver up to 65w (20v x 3.25A). It is definitely the issue with your dual port charger. The charger label is misleading you. You can google that many website stated the charger only applicable to handheld mode.

Switch price has stabilized so it’s a good time to buy.
Most games don’t run at 60fps now.
If that’s critical for you, you might want to wait for the switch pro which is slated to be announced later this year.

Nintendo Pro controller is very good. Heaven and earth compare to joycon.
Another plus point is it can wireless connect to Switch without dock too so you basically will have 2 full-size controllers (joycon and pro).

I also using DS4 with an 8BitDo USB dongle.
