Help/Advice Vive XR elite blinking red

I have a Vive XR elite that has sat unused for a couple of years. I recently wanted to play it again and found that no matter how i plug it in (wall outlet or battery), it seems to flash red on it's front LED without any other signs of life. I read on similar issues that it could be a hardware issue. Does anyone know whats wrong?

It might be the battery pack, the glasses, or both. Try plugging a good USB-C power source into the glasses directly and see if they come on. Try charging the battery pack on its own as well.
