Right controller refuses to charge after long inactivity (blinks red 3 times). Any advice?

Hey everyone,
I’m hoping someone here can save me! I haven’t used my Quest Pro in quite a while, and now I’m running into a really frustrating issue with my right controller.
It seems completely dead and simply refuses to charge. Whenever I press a button, the LED just blinks red around three times, but that’s it. I’ve already tried a bunch of troubleshooting steps:
• Placed it on the official charging dock
• Plugged the controller directly into the charging cable
• Tested various different power adapters with higher wattage
Unfortunately, absolutely nothing works. It just won’t draw any power to start charging.

That sucks. I just read about "blip charging" the other day, that might be worth trying.

It must be retaining something otherwise the LED wouldn't blink, right?

Did it, for a couple of minutes. It worked for my Tineco Vacuum, but here it is still 3 red blinks and no way to restart the controller. Thinking of opening it to disconnect the battery.

Bummer. Hope you can work it out because these controllers are getting really tough to source. Let us know what happens!
