I have a Q60B TV and the remote for it has internal batteries with a usc-c port. Normally when I plug in the remote to charge it the light stays red until it's fully charged. When I plug in the remote the red light blinks rapidly for about 10 seconds and then stops and is off. The remote seems to be working fine. The light also does the same when unplugging it. I tried a different plug but the results are the same. I plan to check it after a bit to see if it's taking a charge. The internal battery lasts a long time so I don't charge it frequently. Purchased the tv in December of 2022, so it's not that old. Normally the blinking light would indicate the batteries need to be changed but this remote has an internal battery and a solar panel on the back. The battery is currently 65%. Has anyone had or heard of this? I put the remote under a very bright desk lamp for over 3 hours and nothing. So the remote isn't solar charging or charging via USB-C at all. Someone on reddit said their tv is 2 years old and their remote is doing the same thing and they reached out to Samsung via chat and was advised to replace the remote. So I guess the remotes only have a 2 year lifespan. Which is rather crappy, my remote gets used but not heavily. I charged it less than 10 times over the last 2 years. The only upside is the long life between charges.

Could be a pairing issue If the batteries are good, I'd try re-pairing the remote to the tv
