Is any else experiencing their Switch flashing on and off in sleep mode?
This just started yesterday for me, or at least that is when I noticed. I tried to look this issue up, but all I can find is people experiencing this in docked mode, while my switch is currently in handheld mode.

I have no idea how to fix that, sorry. Just came here to comment that I like your username, lol ✌️

If you are responding to me in forums or a comment I would much appreciate it if you quoted or tagged me in your responses so I can see it and respond. Otherwise I usually can’t tell that you’ve replied. Thanks!
I contacted Nintendo support. The issue might be that I was using the cable that came with the Pro Controller instead of the AC Adapter to charge my Switch. I have been using the cable for almost 2 years, and just started noticing the flashing screen. Possibly the new update is cau the issue, or (hopefully not), that using the cable instead of the AC Adapter has finally caught up to me.
