Hi again, I went thrifting and found a working, original switch dock for 3$ including the charging cable and assuming I could just plug in my other devices via the usb c input, I brought it. Turns out it doesnt work with other usb c devices for reasons and I dont own a switch personally so I'm kinda stuck with this cool paper weight. Do you guys have any ideas? Alternatively, I could take it apart for spare parts and keep the housing for a project or just donate it again. I usually do research before buying electronics but for the price I took a gamble.

Edit: I'll just donate it appreciate all the feedback thank you

Strange, I have two of the 39W Switch adapters and have used them many times with my Steam Deck, including with dock. I have a third party dock that works with both the Switch and the Deck too that I've powered with the Switch adapter.
