      All his Switch repairs are above 100$, there's professional companies in my country that do them for like half the price or way less and change a lot the prices depending on what it needs and they also give warranty...
      And for example the PS4 Pro Hard Drive repair costs 129$ for the 1 TB HDD, that's literally a user replacement part and takes like 2 minutes to put a new one inside and for 129$ you can just buy a 1TB SSD instead of a crap HDD...

      The problem isn't just with 3rd party docks, if you take the official power cord from the official dock and quickly unplug it from the dock then plug it directly into the Switch it will kill the Switch as well. It's a problem with the power supply trying to send more power directly into the Switch than it can handle. I've seen the same problem with some Lenovo laptops switching between power supplies and docks.
