Why does the charge light on the PALONE MWS-082 USB Rechargeable Insect Killer not turn blue after being plugged in for two days, even though the manual states it should?

The manual for the PALONE MWS-082 USB Rechargeable Insect Killer states that the charging indicator light will be red during charging and turn blue when fully charged. If the light remains red after two days of charging, it suggests a potential issue with the charging process or the device's battery. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can take: Check the USB Charging Cable: Ensure the provided USB charging cable is securely connected to both the device's charging port and a compatible USB power adapter. Try using a different USB cable if available, as cables can sometimes be faulty. Check the USB Power Adapter: Ensure the USB power adapter (not included with the device) is functioning correctly. Try plugging the device into a different USB power source, such as a different wall adapter, a computer's USB port, or a power bank. Inspect the Charging Port: Check the charging port on the MWS-082 for any debris or damage that might be preventing a proper connection. Battery Issue: After such a long charging period without the light turning blue, there might be an issue with the device's internal battery or its charging circuit. If these steps do not resolve the issue, it is recommended to contact PALONE customer service for further assistance. You should have your model number (MWS-082) and purchase details ready when contacting support.
