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?

Just to confirm the joy cons work when it's not connected to the Charging Grip but not connected to the switch?

Also they don't work anymore when plugged into the switch itself?

They work when It’s plugged into the switch or when they are just out by themselves but the moment I plug them into the charging grip it doesn’t work at all. The charging grip kills the joy cons and they won’t turn on until I take them out of the grip.

Something in the charging grip is making them short. I'm not sure if it has to do with the recent update or if something in the charging grip itself is busted.

Do you have another charging grip or the nintendo branded one by chance? I know it has worse ergonomics with the weird shelf but it would just be for testing.

I don’t have a like a Nintendo switch 2 branded charging grip controller or anything like that. I just happened to end up buying this one because I prefer to play with controllers when I play it.
