It started while I was playing a game when the Switch was docked, then the display suddenly became glitchy. My first thought that the HDMI cable was at fault so I unplugged and replugged it. After this there was no display on the TV whatsoever. I've had similar docking issues with this Switch before so I undocked the Switch, set the RGB Range to limited, and redocked it. This time I noticed the Switch screen didn't go black, it didn't even enter docking mode. I took the Switch out and looked at the screen to see an error, as well as the Switch being frozen. I didn't bother checking the error thoroughly since I assumed a hard reset would fix the issues. Now I am stuck with the Switch not turning on at all. The Switch's battery before it crashed was at 100% since I mainly use it for docked gameplay. I've tried booting it with and without the SD Card, unplugged and replugged the battery, and checked to see if the Switch was booting into RCM with TegraGUI, which it isn't. Nothing so far has worked and now I'm wondering if this Nintendo Switch got bricked just by being docked.
well sorry to hear that your switch got bricked.
it could be that your dock is faulty so that it bricks the switch, or your bricked switch's control chip is faulty and couldn't handle current properly and components got fried/shorted.
Recommend changing dock just in case to be safe. And for the switch, check at local repairshop. they can get the components replaced
yeah you can do it yourself if you have neccessary tools(heating gun, soldering iron, microscope, etc) and skills.
you have to use multimeter and check which components are faulty. It is most likely that your pi3usb chip got fried.
so check if your pi3usb is faulty, buy new one from amazon/aliexpress then replace with new one.
there are lots of videos on replacing this chip on youtube so take a look and good luck

@K3Nv2 I got some cheapies at wallys, that are pretty good, already have lost a few expensive ones (one falls out and gone, can't find) while cutting grass so bought some cheap ones, and of course never lose these cheap ones. (Cheap meaning only $35, compared to air buds which I only have 1 of 2 now)

You would think, esp using bluetooth, not GPS, like a "your getting hot-er" meter on your phone.
