HDMI output port: This port connects the dock to a TV or monitor via an HDMI cable, allowing video and audio output.
Internal USB-C connector: This is where the Nintendo Switch console itself connects when docked.
Functionality
TV Mode: The main function of the dock is to enable TV mode, in which the Switch streams its display to an external TV or monitor. This allows for higher resolution gaming (up to 1080p) compared to handheld mode.

Common problems and solutions
No power: If the dock won't turn on, common troubleshooting steps include checking the power adapter, making sure all connections are secure, and testing different power outlets.
No display on TV: Make sure the HDMI cable is connected correctly, check the TV input, and check that the switcher is connected correctly. Also try different HDMI cables or ports.
