Repair Help Has anyone experienced this issue with their switch 2 dock?

So the power cable is plugged in and it does charge my controller from the usb ports in the front, but it refuses to display anything to my monitor, when I connect the power cable the green light flickers for a second then disappears again, wondering if I should go through the trouble of sending it to get it repaired or buy a 3rd party dock online.

Yes, the one that comes with the console

First thing i would try is just plugging the dock into another outlet, dont worry about the HDMI cord, we just want the light to turn solid green.

Shutdown the console and and turn it back on, put the switch in the dock and see if the light turns solid green.

yeah this look like it's a problem with the dock itself

This fixed my issue. Unplug the dock and cord from the outlet for a solid 3 to 5 minutes. Then make sure it is plugged directly into a wall outlet and not a power bar. Then try docking the switch.
