We had a Ninetendo Switch in today that worked normally, charges, plays perfectly yet when it was put in a Switch Dock and connected via HDMi to TV nothing outputted.

We tested the Switch with a known working dock and it still didn’t work.

We then looked at the port under a microscope and could see it has one bent pin – the second one in that happens to be from a pair of USB 3.1 10Gbps lines that convert to data transfer when in the dock.

Other pins also showed higher than normal readings. A lot higher in fact. Should be arounf 0.43v and were 0.75.

So we set about replacing the port
