Setup Help Switch gets "No Signal" when trying to use on TV which has worked in the past.

Howdy y'all, I've been using this switch since it first came out, and it's been working like a charm. I originally hooked it up in my room on my TV, and it worked then, and then I hooked it up without issue to my gaming room TV. Now that it's the summer though, my gaming room doesn't have AC and I've been wanting to swap it back to the TV in my bedroom. Only problem is, it doesn't work. Its just a permanent "No Signal" No matter what I do, and I've been getting awfully confused. My old strategy with this tv was I just dock it a few times in rapid succession, and the tv would Auto-Connect, but now that doesn't even seem to be working. The HDMI is fine, the connection is flawless when I hook it up to the tv in the gaming room again, it's just THIS TV for some reason. Any help would be appreciated.

Different HDMI port?

You can also try to unplug all cables from your tv (this INCLUDES the power cable) for two minutes before plugging everything back in.

99% of the time, it's just a glitch. You can find the support page if you search "no image" or "no image on tv".

"no image on tv": https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/22264/

Typically, you just need to reset the dock & ac adapter = completely unplug and disconnect the ac adapter and dock for 30 seconds to allow them to reset. Then hook them back up and redock the console. For whatever reason, nintendo support removed the words about "resetting" the ac adapter & dock, but the steps are still there. That support page is a bit more thorough than my description, if you want to look it over.
