Hi
I have my switch not charging and yet there is a flash that appears, the bq24193 chip heats up enormously as soon as I plug in udb-c sector. Is it due to the chip in itself or to another such as the mt36,
, the indicator goes down instead of going up during charging.
Thank you in advance for your answers.

Chips getting hot is usually an indication that they broke.
The bq24193 is the chip that controls the charging of the battery so most likely it's partially shorted out.
In some cases some capacitors in the surrounding area can also go bad.
There are several posts on how to check that if you have the right equipment.

If the battery indicator goes down while charging,
the Switch isn't able to charge itself and still running on power from the battery.

Most likely Bq, check surrounding coil, make sure no pins bridged inside usb C port.
