And I use an Aukey charger on my Switch. I never even used the stock one, it still is in the box. OP is misleading everyone by mixing the dock problem (which counterfeits can brick the switch) with something he imagined.

Pretty sure I didn't -imagine- my son plugging his switch into my Google Pixel USB C charger. I did not -imagine- the device being bricked. I didn't -imagine- the hours wasted dealing with tech support and RMA'ing the device only to be told that we voided the warranty.

I'd send you the correspondence between Nintendo and myself but I feel as if I've wasted enough time on you already.
