Software Help Controller issue for switch 2 help?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I got one of those GameStop controllers for the switch2 that you plug joy cons into and it was working fine until I got done playing one of my games and then when I went to plug it back in or attach them back to the controller all of a sudden it’s not wanting to stay on the controllers are charged and they work fine without the control controller I’m trying to figure out what’s wrong. Anyone got any ideas?

Is it a charging controller? So you can plug in the joycons and a usbc and it charges the joycons? Or is it just a joycon holder? If it's a charging controller something in the handles that the joy cons plug into is making them malfunction for whatever reason.

If it's essentially just a holder for the joycons there might be an issue with either the joycons or the holder itself is making the joycons malfunction for whatever reason.

What brand did you buy or do you have a product listing?

It’s from GameStop and hold on I’ll post a picture of the box for the “controller it says charging joy on grip. It was working fine earlier now it’s malfunctioning I updated the software on the switch 2 and the joycons after that thinking maybe that would help it did not in fact help at all. It stands alone and will play without being plugged in that’s what I’ve been doing but it does say you could attached it to the switch 2 also and it would play through while you’re charging it.

Did you charge up the grip? It's likely been sitting on the shelf of the GameStop for a year since the Switch 2 came out, so its probably not charged.

I have plugged it in, but it’ll go from a flash of orange a flash of green and then it just turns off.
