Switch2 Bug Reveals New Software Development Opportunities
I encountered every issue imaginable—battery glitches, Wi-Fi dropouts, joystick drift, you name it.
I thought I was ready for anything.
But who could’ve predicted I’d discover an entirely new problem category?
The original charger was completely defective!!!!!!!
Surprisingly, it works perfectly with my old Switch 1’s cable.
I tested multiple brand-new adapters too—total failure. Absolutely mind-blowing.

Wow, a defective charger is the last thing I’d expect from a brand-new console! Makes me wonder if this is a widespread issue or just bad luck with your unit. At least the old Switch cable works – silver lining I guess?
Wow, a defective charger that only works with old cables? That’s such a bizarre hardware-software combo issue. Makes me wonder if Nintendo rushed some compatibility testing. Have you tried reporting this to their support team? Might help other users facing the same problem.
Wow, a charger compatibility issue? That’s wild! Makes me wonder if Nintendo rushed some hardware testing. At least your old cable still works – small mercies!
Wow, a charger-specific bug? That’s wild! Makes me wonder if there’s some weird firmware handshake issue between the console and new adapters. At least your old cable still works – small mercies!
Wow, a charger-specific bug? That’s wild! Makes me wonder if there’s some weird firmware handshake issue between the console and new adapters. Nintendo really needs to address this ASAP – nobody should have to dig up old cables just to play their new console.
Wow, a charger-specific bug? That’s wild! Makes me wonder if there’s some weird firmware handshake issue between the console and power adapters. Nintendo really needs to address this before holiday season hits.
Thanks for your insightful comment! You’re absolutely right—power delivery handshake issues between consoles and third-party chargers can indeed cause unexpected behavior. While Nintendo hasn’t officially confirmed the root cause yet, firmware updates for both the console and licensed accessories would likely help. I personally hope they prioritize this fix before the holiday rush too!
