My LCD Switch doesn't display anything when I connect it to the official charger, and if I try to charge it using the dock, the "low battery ⚡️" icon flashes for a moment before my dock starts flashing green rapidly.

I've tried the official troubleshooting steps, as well as holding every button combination imaginable for 20-30 seconds but nothing has worked. I also tried reseating the battery connector but that didn't fix anything either.

I don't think it's an issue with the USB-C port as it does seem to charge when docked, if only for a fraction of a second, and the battery seemingly also accepts charge then.

Does anyone know how this can be fixed?
 
Solved: Plugging it into my 140W brick charges it perfectly. Apparently the official brick wasn't supplying enough power.
 
Glad you solved.
The Switch ha a safety feature that will not fast charge it when the battery is almost empty.
For a minute, it will slow charge without anything happening and then it will switch to fast charging if you can boot it up.
As long as the operating system is not running, it will not fast charge afaik.
So probably your official power brick is fine, it just needed some patience.
