It should work unless you damaged your video chip

I think that is the problem. I rebooted the switch an it didnt work. Thank you

To be fair, it’s more likely the port is damaged, either in the Switch or on the dock. Can be tricky to get a good high quality pic of the inside of the port with good lighting, but can you try? I want to be able to see the pins…

I’ll assume you docked it after HOS was already running…

The problem is the switch. The other switch i have works with this dock

Ok then, get a good look inside of the port with a high-res camera. Since you have another Switch, compare the two. Any pins that look even slightly higher could indicate damage (use a sewing needle or something to push down on it to see if it’s loose…)

Official one or third party dock?

This is the best i could do

EDIT: the right one is the modded switch

Well, you should angle the camera when you take the pic, and try to get both sides of the middle piece (take 2 pics), but already it seems that one of those pics is not like the other…

Like I said, it’s hard to get a good pic. Not only does it need to be at an angle, but you need to get some light in there, so we can see better. Still a good chance the socket is damaged, but I couldn’t say for sure with that pic. TBH, you need a digital microscope to get a good pic.
