My daughter's Switch Dock has stopped working.
I think it is just the power supply.
We can hook up a regular USB-C cable and it will charge the Switch in the dock, but not display it on the TV.
Can you buy JUST the Dock AC Adapter..?

Ok, so I tested another power supply and it still doesn't work.
Arg, I guess I have to buy a whole new dock :(

A power spply for the switch (to output to tv) needs to support 15V @ 2,6A. A regular (phone) power supply will not work on the dock.

[Edit]
Check this thread for compatible power supply.

Charge the Switch portable with the original charger and see if it charges in the same time as before.

Also when it gets fully charged play a demanding game like Zelda on the Switch portable with the charger connected to it and check if it keeps it at 100% charge 4 ever while playing.

If all is working fine I guess the problem most likely will be with the dock or the output chip inside the switch might also be bad.
