I first put it on and the little battery tab showed an empty box but I didnt pay attention to it because when I opened the tag it showed "100% battery" so I thought it was just a lag. Soon after that it shut down and when I connected it to the charger the red light went on (I think it's supposed to be white when it's actually charging). When I pressed the power button it didn't turn on and then sometimes the charging light would turn to white and then back to red.
Is it a problem with the battery, the power button or the charging pin? And what should I do?
