https://mashable.com/2018/03/28/nintendo-sw...e/#cxIVqzCA_sqZ Hi all, I'm using my PINENG powerbank and Huawei P9 USB-C chargers. So far no issues, but I'm worries that this will damage my Switch. Can anyone share if you had a problem and how did you get it fixed? Thanks! This post has been edited by cmonstar: Apr 5 2018, 09:29 AM |

QUOTE(MarioKart @ Apr 5 2018, 05:18 PM) The problem is with the dock. I dont think normal chargers have issues. But PINeNg powerbank better not. Try to get a PD standard compliant powerbank....expensive though. Seems like Nintendo is advising to use either their own charger or at least use the original USB C cable that comes with the Pro Controller only. Cables must be 56k Ohm compliant http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2018/04/n...rge_your_switch |

I practically never heard of it before reading this article.If it's USB-C to USB-C, there is no need for 56K ohm compliant. Basically, if chargin from USB C to C with a good branded charger, it's much safer and one less worry. |

QUOTE(MarioKart @ Apr 6 2018, 11:18 AM) Please dont. For USB A to C, there is a risk of frying your equipment regarding if its a Switch or Samsung S9. This is a design problem between USB A and C standard. Hence the resistor is to safeguard this. If C to C, then maybe you can use cheap cables (but UsB C cables are never cheap, so far i have seen). Pls dont risk your expensive hardware with cheap cables. Later Ustaz cable send your Switch to Syurga......  Switch Heaven |
