The colored brick was your first clue it's a fake, lol. They only come in dark gray.

You said literally nothing in the first post, so I'm gonna assume based on this statement.
Did you break your stock charger and order a knock-off in hopes of salvaging parts from it to repair the original? If so, good luck with that. The Switch uses a nonstandard charging protocol which makes using unsupported chargers and docks dangerous. Contrary to the philosophy of USB-C, neither the Switch nor its stock accessories are USB Power Delivery-compliant and only first-party accessories know how to ‘talk’ to the console properly and not fry it.
Is there a listing for the one you've bought ? I bought one on Amazon quite a few years ago and it works just like the official one. The listing made it clear it was meant to be a complete replacement for the Nintendo Switch charger, I compared the specifications to the official one on amazon and it was the same, couldn't do more or less
I see a bunch of « switch chargers » for the Switch on aliexpress or amazon and they are a few that are actually trying to be like the official one, even the one I bought was like ... 30€ ? Around that price. Maybe it's available on aliexpress for cheaper, but I don't expect something less than 20€ to be working LIKE the Switch charger. Might be fine for charging like any regular charger, in handheld, but I don't expect those to run correctly while docked at full power.

You're better off buying an original one. Those knock-offs probably won't do your console any good in a long term.
I mean, I personally wouldn't trust any third party charger for an expensive stuff like the console is (along with its equipment).
