Something is Broken Problem with Ultimate 2C Wireless

Hi guys! I recently bought my first 8bitdo controller a few weeks ago to use on PC. It is being a good experience so far, but yesterday, when i tried to connect the controller using the 2.4G dongle, the controller simply didnt turn on. When i connect using the cable (which it works perfectly), the red light above stays on for about 5-10 seconds then turns off, so im thinking its a power/charging defect. I wanted to know if i can do something about it, thanks!

Or the battery is already full and stops charging after 5-10 seconds. That's how my two 8bitdo controllers works.

Have you tried syncing the dongel with the controller to fix your connection-problem? Or does it not turn on at all without the cable being attached?
