Drone not charging?

Hello!

So I have an jjrc h12c.

I recently found it and I want to sell it.

I've tried charging but the light on the charger didn't go out (it turns off when you plug the charger in the drone, and turns back on when the drone is charged).
I don't really know what the cause can be, last time I used it it worked perfectly.

I would guess that the lipo battery is dead, once lipos go below a certain voltage they shouldn't/can't be recharged. If you have a voltage meter take the battery out and measure it, if its below 3.0v then its dead.

If you can get to the battery itself you'll be able to tell if its the problem. Dead LiPos usually 'puff' out and expand slightly. I've got a few drones myself and it always sucks when I loose a battery. You can sometimes revive low voltage batteries by slowly charging them on a balance charger, but it wont always work.

It looks fine, do you know what the voltage is?
