7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues while using the Hagibis Portable TV Dock, consider the following:
- No Display Output: Ensure all cables (power, HDMI, USB-C to device) are securely connected. Verify that your external display is set to the correct HDMI input.
- Power Requirements: Confirm that an external power source is connected to the dock's PD port. For Nintendo Switch, a charger with an output of 39W or greater is recommended. Using an underpowered charger may prevent TV mode from activating.
- Intermittent Connection: If the display signal is unstable or intermittent, try unplugging and re-plugging all cables, including the power adapter, HDMI cable, and the USB-C connection to your device.
- Audio Issues (Android Devices): Some Android devices may experience incorrect audio output when connected via this adapter. This is often a device-specific compatibility issue rather than a defect with the dock.
- Device Compatibility: Ensure your device supports video output over its USB-C port. Not all USB-C ports support this functionality.
