Got everything set up and hooked up to my TV then pull the gamepad out of the box and hooked it up to the charger like the instructions say. Orange light comes on for about a minute and a half then goes out. Try it again, same thing. I leave it plugged in anyways after that and give it a few hours to see if it'll charge anyways while I go do other stuff.
I come back and try unplugging and replugging the charger. Same thing as before happens, orange light comes on for a bit then goes out.
I try hitting the power button and it plays a jingly sound as a blue light comes on for about a second then the light fades out. The screen doesn't turn on, light up, or show any sign of life.
I figure it's a forgone conclusion but I'm asking anyways.
Defective?
