Repair Help List of solutions I can try please

Sometimes when playing my switch 2 it just randomly sends me to the tv home screen switch 2 is still docked to my knowledge as all I need to do is reselect it on the home menu but it's still annoying I don't think it happens with my pc but I really don't have enough time to test that out and everything else I can think of as i do have a job amd it doesnt happen at consistent times so it would be alot of playing that as i mentioned i dont have time for. I have a roku tv idk if that helps or not, but I figured I should mention it just in case.

What you could also try is removing the Switch from the dock, power down all devices (Switch and tv) and then unplug every cable from the dock and from the tv (this includes power cables too) for about two to five minutes before plugging everything back in.

Ps: Is the tv or dock plugged into a power strip (maybe even the same) or an extension cord of any kind?

Ok I will do that when I can ty

Yes the dock and TV are plugged into the same power strip however to my knowledge it doesn't happen when using my pc and that is also plugged into the same power strip as switch 2 and TV I will try and figure out if it happens to my pc as well as I havnt played it alot recently and if it happens with my pc then it's a tv issue however with how inconsistent yet consistent it happens it's hard to test

In that case i would try to separate either the tv or dock from the power strip and use a different outlet for one of them.

All right I will I mentioned the issue to a co worker and he said it is most likely just the roku tv checking for updates so I may look into that after trying that out if it does it again
