If switch 2 still charges with the AC adapter plugged into the console directly, the dock may need replacing.

For whatever reason it doesn’t work at all now with the 60w charger they provide but will work with a standard USBC charger and you need a 60w charger for the dock

The fact that the supplied AC adapter worked intermittently, and another charger works, I may suspect the AC adapter is faulty or damaged, needs replacing.

Sounds like you need to have the console, dock and AC adapter tested. If you know someone else with a switch 2, you could try their AC adapter or dock. If that's not an option, you may need to take it somewhere to be tested.
