Video intermittent when docked

The video output is intermittent when docked. The switch will charge and another switch works fine on the same dock. Do you think the problem would be the USB C port on the switch?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Thanks for the reply! After your tip I dug around in the with a toothpick, that didn't work so I brushed it out with a toothbrush and alcohol and that still didn't work. It will work if I fiddle around with it in the dock sometimes but is intermittent. I feel like a cord plugged directly in the fits ok and isn't loose.

Hi Matt,

Most commonly the cause of this pesky problem is dust or lint getting stuck in the USB port on the console itself.

Does the charging cable go in snugly with that click you can feel? I’d recommend gently trying to pluck out any debris with some tweezers.
