  • Thanks for the comment! It wasn’t meant to be a Dock replacement. Just a quick way to connect the keyboard, mouse and USB-sticks while at work, etc.

    I like Anker products! I read reviews and comments from people using Anker Hubs without problem. So, without them being official supported I just tried it.

    Well, hopefully this is something that can be fixed…

    Really??? Did I just got an unlucky one? I used this Hub for like half an hour (power / mouse / keyboard attached). I don’t know exactly when it stopped charging, but I got thrown into the Recovery screen and from then on it wouldn’t charge.

    On a side note, games using a lot of power crash the Deck after some time. Probably has something to do with the Deck relying on the built in battery for high performance procession.

    I’m a really big fan of this console and maybe I shouldn’t have listened to the Amazon reviews.


  • Thanks for the suggestion. I tried this now for the first time but still no change. (I never connected a screen, just the Hub and the original power cord through it)

    I’m not sure if it is a software, or hardware problem but if I had to guess it’s a problem with a component responsible for regulating the power flow.

    Maybe the battery got damaged but that would be unusual with all the protections built into new batteries.


  • Yes, I have tried that.

    Worth mentioning, that only works if the power supply is disconnected. I have to push Volume+ & the Power Button and then insert the power cable. If I try this with the cable attached the screen, plays the short “activate” sound but the screen stays dark.

    The power cord works like the “Auto boot on AC attached” in the power menu, but that is Disabled…
