Having problems turn on my console with the controller

so say no controller is on the dock, and i hold the xbox button on the controller, select turn off console....will that power the console back on, or will the controller turn off? When i am having this problem, the console and the controller both turn off,
and then only the console logo lights back up, not the controller, if that helps clear up my issue, thanks 24hrs2live.

When I plug in the controller with a cable it works, but stops immediately after disconnecting the controller. Tried with non-elite controller and it does the same thing so it's a problem with the console.

Both controllers have updated firmware to the latest version. It's not a controller issue, it's the console. This problem was not there before the update on the 12th, it's a new problem. Restarting the console or powering off and then back on fixes the
problem but when the system goes into sleep and comes back from it, the problem is still there.

I can reproduce the problem by turning off my console (by holding down the Xbox button on the controller) which puts it into sleep, and then turning it back on, then none of my controllers will sync.

Update: the problem doesn't occur if i turn on the console using the controller not the console power button. Also, the controller decided to not respond during gameplay, it wouldn't let me control my character, and it eventually turned itself off. It's
acting like it's having interference.

I have the exact same problem.

I can use the controllers for any length of time once connected but as soon as I turn the console off the controller gets disconnected once I turn the unit back on.

If I try to turn the unit back on via the controller the LED on the controller simply flashes and the console stays off.

If I turn the console on manually the controller isn't connected and no amount of re'syncing will fix it.

The only way for me to reconnect the controller is to do a full system reset and then use the controller to turn on the console.

Really annoying having to full reset my console every time I want to use it.

Considering returning the console.

I'm having the same problem. Controllers are working fine, the console turns on but no lights at all so my controller cannot connect to it. Could it be that a fuze is blown out?
