I’ve been trying to get my Red5 motion control drone to work for a couple of days, but it just won’t turn on. The controller seems fine, the lights turn on, but the drone does nothing. I’ve followed all the instructions, watched a bunch of videos where they connect the two wires and the drone lights up, but mine isn’t doing anything at all. I even swapped the battery, thinking it might be the issue, but it’s still not working. I’m new to this, so I’m probably messing something up. Is there a button I’m missing? Am I charging it wrong? What am I doing wrong? Any help would be really appreciated.
Can you post some pictures of it? It looks like this might be a cheaper drone, so maybe it has a manufacturing problem or the motherboard is faulty. Also, check if the battery is connected properly and make sure the wall charger isn’t too powerful for it.

Try charging it using your laptop. Sometimes devices won’t charge properly with a wall charger that pushes too much power.

If I don’t have a PC, is a laptop okay to use?
@Keir
Yes, a laptop will work fine as long as it has a USB port.
