Yellow LED (Solid):
This indicates the controller is charging while the console is in rest mode, or while connected to a wall charger or power bank. In this state, all other RGB lighting (buttons and joysticks) will remain off to conserve power.
Green LED (Solid):
Indicates the controller is fully charged and ready to use. After long-distance shipping, initial charging may take up to 2–3 hours.

If the controller shows no lights or response after plugging it in, the battery may be completely drained. Please leave it connected for 2–3 hours, then press the HOME button to try turning it on. If it still doesn’t power up, contact the QRDGAME support team for assistance.
