| Nuvendil said: Switch has active cooling in and out of the dock and at it's highest recorded temperatures is 49 C. The system does not get hot enough to distort the system in this way. Especially since the Switch has a metal internal frame as well as it's blastic shell. Edit: and this being supposedly from docked-mode only users makes me think this was probably a manufacturing issue where it was bent from the word go but since they immediately docked it, perhaps didn't notice it and only noticed it later upon closer inspection and assumed the heat had distorted it. It *is* a mild enough bend where I could see someone in a hurry to setup missing it and only seeing it much later. |
Not entirely impossible, but somehow I doubt that Nintendo QA standards are so low that they would ship bent consoles under the assumption that no one would notice.
If it is an operating temp issue, warped plastic casings would be a secondary problem to overheating internals. If we start seeing failed CPU/GPU in bricked consoles, we'll have the answer.
