My Xbox series s controller won’t turn on my console

Yes, it will keep on blinking when you are downloading games while it is off. Try syncing the controller again with the console because as long as the controller is already synced with the console, it should be able to turn it on.

Thank you for responding. I only have one controller it came out of the same box as the console, I’ve only been able to power the console on once with the controller every other time since I’ve had to press the button on the console. Once the console is on it recognizes the controller and works fine. But now it’s chirping and blinking while I have it powered down I don’t know if it has to do with me downloading games while it’s off.

Hi there! This is Ronnie, an independent advisor.

Nice to meet you and I hope you are having a great day!

I understand you need help with your Xbox problem.

If I may ask, is this happening to one controller or all controllers you have tried? Is your controller connected to the console right after you turn on the device? Or are you able to turn the console on from the power button? Thanks!

The console i want to get serviced is xbox series s and it shows in warranty i won’t be able to it’s like same as amazon it’s been 5-6 months since my purchase they won’t be able to answer the Origin of my xbox

Turns out it was somehow trying to connect to either the xbox one s or xbox series s consoles in my house for some reason. Turning them off fixed it.

Sidenote: In all my experiences with wireless xbox controllers (xbox 360, xbox one, xbox series x/s) the sync button needs to be held to be put into pairing mode (quarter ring rotating clockwise /flashing xbox logo), while the button on the console needs a single press, if it helps anyone.
