Controller issues

SchueyXXII · Dec 28, 2015

Hey guys, completely new to all of this so apologies if you have been asked this before.

Basically my console is 6 months old, never had any problems with it and to be honest it hasn't had a great deal of use. Got a couple of new games for Christmas which I have gone to play but my controller appears completely dead, holding the Xbox button
is doing nothing. Thinking it was a problem with my controller I borrowed my neighbours to test and that also won't even turn on now. I've searched online for a solution and think I've tried everything but no use. Interestingly, when I connect the controller
with a usb cable and press the Xbox button, it does flash for about 5-10 seconds and then just fades back to black, and this happens on both controllers.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance

:)

Bah. That thing sucks. I think that tripled my amount of all time shotgun kills.

If you're using a play and charge kit, have you tried putting normal batteries in. If not, you might need to check for an update if you haven't already. A quick fix might be as it's flashing, replug it back in. I had the same issue and that fixed it. No
clue why this happens though.

I would try taking the controllers to your neighbors house and plugging them into his console to see if the same thing happens. if you are able to navigate at all try to check for an update for the controllers while plugged in. to do this go to settings>all
settings>Kinect and devices>devices and accessories>select the controller> on the left side it will either say update now or no update available.

if this fails I would contact phone support to see if they have a resolution for you.

It sounds like you're not hitting the sync button on the console itself.

With your console powered on, hit the Guide button. Wait for the LEDs to start flashing. Once they're flashing, hit the sync button (near the Play & Charge cable port). The LEDs on the controller will start spinning. After you've hit that, hit the Sync button
on the front of the consoles. On the original 360 it's its own button to the right of the MU ports. On the 360 S it's the IR window/button to the left of the front USB trap door. Once you hit the sync button on the console, the Ring of Light on the console
should start spinning.

There's a
decent guide on the XBOX site.

Controllers do wear out. Every gamer handles it different and your movements will do that to the joystick. Certain games are harder on different buttons. Thats a battlefield controller

mine looks just like it. Its a battle hardened controller that might
need to be retired. It happens to the best of us.
