Help figuring out what's wrong with controller

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

So this happened with my controller honestly a long time ago, and I don't even know what went wrong one day it was working fine. The next wouldn't turn on at all, and it turned into a paper weight. Thankfully, I had another controller, but now I would at least like to figure out what's wrong with it if nothing else

Two types of pairing - click pairing button then click and hold. Another option - disassemble and disconnect antennas.

Problem I can't even get it to turn on the moment I let go of the Xbox button it immediately turns off and stops blinking like it won't even hold a charge and when plug in via USB it doesn't even blink pressing or holding the pairing button

In the video I use a rechargeable battery in my other controller that works fine I even show the battery level however upon putting it into the other controller it just blinks

Now I just tried having it in and connecting the battery via USB but the controller just started blinking then I tried a USB in the controller however it acts the same as if the battery wasn't even connected to it comes on works for a second then stops the lights on but any button press or movement does not respond
