The dock will charge the switch, but not transfer display to the TV?

My switch will charge on the dock, but it is not transferring to the screen. I tried a friend's and it worked with no problem. I think the charging/data port might be affected by the video transfer since the charging works. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Answer this question I have this problem too

Hi Joe,

Alisha ( @flannelist ) has been working diligently on troubleshooting guides, and I'd suggest taking a look at the No Video Out guide they've written as the place to start.

Other than that, it appears you're not the only person with that problem. Ethan ( @nahdoesntexist ) was having the same issue, but unfortunately did not find a solution.

SOLVED: Nintendo switch is charging, but not outputting to a TV. - Nintendo Switch - iFixit

An interesting find here was that if you take the dock connector out of the dock and plug it into the Switch it works, but once it's installed in its plastic shell it no longer works. I'm not sure if that's of any help or not.
