I wanted to play Nintendo Switch on the TV, but I lost my original usb c cable which was included. I used my usb c cable from the nintendo Switch Pro controller instead, but it says: "A connection to the TV could not be established. Please make sure that you use the power adapter that is included with this console." Do I now have to seriously buy the original cable even though I have the cable from the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller?!
Does your TV have USB-C or what have you connected to what?
The switch needs a USB to HDMI adapter with active power supply. The power supply must also be connected. The switch dock is such an adapter.
No, you have to plug HDMI to HDMI and the USB C cable into the socket, but you can't. I have a new monitor, but when I still had the original cable, I was able to play, the "new" cable is no longer possible.
Do not know exactly what you mean, but it may be that the USB-A to USB-C cable from the controller has not occupied all ports. USB-C cables are not all the same. If you get a high-quality cable from Anker or something like that, it is equivalent to that from Nintendo.
So you have a dock? And is the switch in there? Then a cable goes to the TV? I now assume it is about the power supply.
The switch's power supply does not have a replaceable cable. Did you use a different power supply than the one from the switch? Any cell phone charger or something?
Ah okay i think i understand Yes, the cable is from the Pro Controller, but the power supply is some iphone plug because I have nothing else. That means I need a power supply that has more power or something? The original cable in the scope of delivery where you can't exchange anything surely has more power right?
That is exactly the topic. The Switch needs a much more powerful power supply than a cell phone battery. Without it, she won't turn on TV mode.
This is a usb cable that only serves to charge the controller. The switch can only be connected to the tv via the dock and the connected usbc cable.
