How the 7 Nintendo families here actually differ
These are not marketing tiers. Each group below behaves differently under diagnosis, which is why a procedure written for one does not transfer to another, and it is the first thing to settle before following any fix.
Nintendo Switch family; dock, OLED display, detachable controllers and storage differ by model.
- Nintendo Switch OLED Model HEG-001
- Nintendo Switch revised model HAC-001(-01)
- Nintendo Switch original model HAC-001
Handheld-only model without TV docking or detachable Joy-Con.
- Nintendo Switch Lite HDH-001
Dock accessory; diagnose power/HDMI/USB separately from console handheld operation.
- Nintendo Switch OLED dock HEG-007
Nintendo console; dock, display, storage, controller and game compatibility vary by hardware generation.
- Nintendo Switch 2 BEE-001 and regional variants
Dock accessory; diagnose power, HDMI, USB and cooling separately from handheld console operation.
- Nintendo Switch 2 dock BEE-005 and regional variants

Structured depth, not empty permutations
Every published record carries a direct answer, scope, ordered fixes, risk notes and sources.
Device and manufacturer hubs share a consistent record system, but each answer carries the relevant controls, fault boundaries, consequences and official support entry point for that platform.
