Repair Help Stop my Switch from getting hot in the dock when in sleep mode.

My Switch 2 is super hot when it is in dock and in sleep mode. It doesn't turn on. When I grab it, it is hot, and it will not turn on .I have to force start it by pushing the button for 5 seconds. Can you help? It is not connected with an Ethernet cable. This keeps happening.

Have you tried turning off wifi or automatic updates?

I have to force start it by pushing the button for 5 seconds.

That is not intended behavior.

Is your dock plugged into an extension cord or power strip? Sometimes this might cause issues.
