  • QUICK VIDEO about how to hook up the cords for the Nintendo Switch to the television, including the HDMI cord and the power cord. Once those are plugged into the docking station, the remotes need to be slid onto the screen, and the unit dropped into the docking station. I also go over how to select the HDMI inputs using the remote control (Source button, Input button, directional arrows).
    Here is the link referenced in the video:

    Why are so many people pissed at this guy for making a video that others (like me) would need, but not them? They’re saying shit as if it was a useless video, when a ton of people don’t understand how to do this, and this can help significantly. The point is, don’t watch it if you don’t need it, and don’t insult them because you watched this even though you didn’t need to. I personally thought it was very helpful and I give it a like.

    To those of you who wrote rude comments here: Why? Why did you go out of your way to write a comment on a video that was not even meant for you? This video is meant for brand new Nintendo Switch owners of the first version of the Nintendo Switch, especially those who purchased the console from Ebay; the fact that you wasted your time and the Channel owner's time shows me that you have nothing better to do other than to make fun of something that you should not even be worrying about; I mean wow, makes me wonder what kind of person you are outside of the internet, to be honest.

    THANK YOU!! I bought a refurbished one (since it's 2023 I figured I'd save some money since the console cane out quite a while ago)....it came in fantastic condition but had absolutely zero instruction manuals. The switch itself is pretty user friendly but I keep hearing horror stories of scratching screens in the dock so this video was straight to the point and what I needed.

    Thank you for this! While I've not checked Nintendo's support website, your video came up first when I looked for help on how to dock the Switch. After my days with the SNES, I moved over to PlayStation, which is a lot more straight-forward (since it's just wires that all consoles have and your controller. I don't have any additional peripherals). So, the Switch has been a new learning process, lol.

      I don't think the DVI port will let you plug the HDMI into it. Go with the HDMI 2 one. You can actually use any HDMI port, but usually the lower numbered ones have more features. Good luck.

    One of the reasons why I have waitied on purchasing this exact model of a Nintendo Switch is because certain games that I would want to play on it have yet to be ported to it; that includes gamew like Fallout 4, Soul Hackers 2 and Xenoblade Chronicles X; you may suggest to put Linux on it and some Homebrew on it; well, I am too lazy to try to do that; I just want to be able to purchase either a cartridge or a digital version from the eShop of those three games; the biggest issue I have with the Nintendo Switch is how it runs certain games at 30 frames per second or worse, with noticeable dips in frame rate; so yeah, I am going to wait patiently on getting a Nintendo Switch; and when I do, this video will be a great refresher.

    So my Nintendo switch is brand new, just tried setting up the dock in order and it won’t work. The dock does in fact charge the switch and the hdmi does work I even plugged it into my ps4 to see if it was the hdmi or not and the ps4 showed up just fine. No signal at all I get a indicator that my switch is charging when it’s seated and it automatically turns on when I take it off the dock. I have absolutely no idea what to do.

    i did everything in this video, but when i go to turn on the Switch, it just turns on the screen while its docked. the tv shows a no signal. ive checked all the cables, the hdmi screens on my tv, i dont know what else it could be
    edit: im so stupid my extension cord wasn’t plugged in

    I was attempting to do this myself yesterday... lost two fingers now and I think I'm paralyzed.

    I looked it up (this video) because I wasn't sure if a Switch was even compatible with TV. I thought maybe it was handheld only with the little screen.

      At this time there are three models. One is called Switch Lite, and it does not work on the TV.
