Console works only in handheld mode

I recently replaced the PI3USB chip because there was power, but no video/audio. Replaced the chip, everything works great, however now when I place it in the dock the console doesn’t show an image on the TV, but the led is solid green. Any ideas?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

I too have this exact same problem, I purchase a faulty switch from ebay and replaced the p13usb chip and the switch works perfectly now in handheld mode but will not dock, my next option is to replace the USB C port as I have seen this done for other issues and wondered if it may be a faulty connection to one of the hidden pads underneath. But as the switch is working I am reluctant to replace it at this stage, especially with that awful screen connector, nearly bent a pin the last time I had it apart

I'm sorry to revive an old topic, but I have this same problem and I was wondering if you ever figured out how to fix yours? I checked all of the usual suspects on the board (no blown caps that I could find). Works in handheld mode but no picture on screen when docked.

Thanks!
