Check Power Cable

Since we see that the Nintendo Switch Dock is primarily used to charge the Nintendo Switch device, it is highly possible that it is not working as usual because the power cable attached to the Dock is not providing enough power to the peripheral.

Make sure that you are plugging in the original Nintendo Switch Dock Power Cable and also you are plugging in an independent power outlet. An independent power outlet will be consuming the same power as a combined one. There is no difference if you do the former or the latter but it should always be preferred to have an independent power outlet.

Unplug the entire setup

A different thing that you can do here to solve the issue is to unplug the entire setup from the main source as well as from each other and later on try to build the setup, the way it should be to avoid any error that might have happened in the past from anyone.

Check HDMI Cable

If you come across a situation where you are not able to connect your Switch Dock to your TV, you should check whether your HDMI is correctly plugged in or not. If there is really an issue with the HDMI, you will not be able to connect the TV with Switch Dock.
