Topic: The Switch OLED is a piece of garbage!!!

@Ryu_Niiyama I'm sorry to hear that you went through something like that. My mother always tells me never to judge someone down on their luck. Today it might be him tomorrow; it might be me.

I feel sorry for people that don't have a home. it is a cruel world out there.

Also, just to throw this out there: you can get a P.O. Box, and use that as an address for a lot of things, including an address. Even if you receive a package that doesn't fit in the box, they'll put a Parcel Slip in there, letting you know to go claim it. P.O. Boxes are pretty cheap.

If I was to guess, I think the socket in the restaurant is the culprit. Many restaurants and industrial type places use a much higher voltage than what you'd need in the home.

I just wanted to ask if you're using a socket that a regular customer could use or if you're using one that's in the back and only accessible to staff members such as near the kitchen? If it's in the back, maybe there's too much power being supplied to the charger and making it overheat.

Either way, with the issue occurring to two separate devices, the common denominator looks to be the environment rather than the devices.

I also just wanted to wish you all the best and I hope your circumstances get a little better soon.

I mean, with the way the Switch under-performs with most of it's releases when compared to PC, it's no wonder that mine's in the garbage, now. Felt great to get rid of that junk.

OP I don’t know if you have a gym membership (easy access to showers, working out and wifi, and if you are car dwelling a somewhat safe parking lot for naps.) but when I was in your situation that was how I kept things charged. My gym had a lounge so I would top off my battery packs there if I couldn’t at work. Like everyone else has suggested, the outlets at your job likely are the culprit.

That is definitely a frustrating situation! I would definitely be concerned about the potential dangers myself if I was dealing with that situation. Do you still have those issues with the consoles a few months later? Have you had to get another replacement? Would you recommend against getting the OLED to a potential customer? My husband and I have been considering buying one but I do think that we are leaning towards not getting one now based on the reviews I'm seeing. I like to research fully before making a full decision and the results are not promising from what I've found.

@AppleroseGrace Have you tried totally deleting the internet connection on your Switch and then setting it up again?

Worth a try.
