Nintendo Switch No Video Out Troubleshooting
Nintendo Switch No Video Output: Troubleshooting Guide
Is your Nintendo Switch not displaying video output? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. At Salvation Repair, we’ve seen this issue before, and we’re here to help you troubleshoot and potentially fix the problem. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the possible causes and solutions to get your Switch up and running in no time.
First Steps
Before we dive into the more complex solutions, let’s try some basic troubleshooting steps. Ensure that your Switch is properly connected to the dock, and the dock is connected to the display. If you’ve recently moved your dock or disconnected power, try reconnecting everything in the correct sequence.
Causes and Solutions
Incorrect Display Settings
Although the Switch typically outputs correctly without additional configuration, unintentional changes can occur. Check your display settings to ensure that the correct input is selected.
Dock Connected Incorrectly
The dock can be finicky about the order of connections. If you’ve recently moved your dock or disconnected power, try reconnecting everything in the correct sequence.
Bad Connection Between the Dock and Display
The issue may not be with your Switch at all. Test all parts of the communication chain between your Switch and the connected display to isolate the problem.
Faulty Dock
Once you’ve determined your display and cable function properly, it’s time to test the final link before getting to the Switch itself. The dock contains two points of connection that are important for video signal transmission.
Faulty Charge Port
The USB-C port on the bottom of the Switch serves a dual purpose. It acts as both the charge port and the interface for video output. Just because one function works properly does not guarantee the other does.
Faulty Motherboard
The motherboard is the hub for the vast majority of console functionality. Any number of the small components on the board may have failed or become damaged.

If none of the above solutions work, it’s possible that your Switch requires professional repair. At Salvation Repair, we offer a limited lifetime guarantee on all parts and labor. Schedule a repair with us today by visiting https://salvationrepair.com/repair.
