    Controller will not turn on AT ALL


    I recently attempted to update my controller and something odd happened.

    The black screen that displays the percentage of the download showed up but it never changed off 0%. It sat at 0% for approximately 3 or 4 seconds and then the controller turned off and the system said that there was an issue with the update and to retry.

    I checked my connections and retried. When I tried to turn the controller on to click start update, it would not turn on. I tried unplugging it and put new batteries in, but nothing happened. When I push on the guide button to turn it on, the light will
    dimly flicker while it is pushed in, but it will not fully power on.

    I then tried again with another controller and the same thing happened (probably not the best idea i have ever had). so now i have two controllers that will not power on at all. Is there a potential fix to this, or do i need to send them off to Microsoft
    for replacement?

    Thanks for any help and suggestions!

    :)

  3. Controller won’t turn on at all

    Hey Tempz I,

    Sorry to hear about the controller not turning on. When you plugged the controller in with the micro USB cable were the batteries removed as well. Can you give that a go and leave it plugged in for a bit and check if the controller responds at all?

    Thanks,

    If you take the batteries out and connect the controller to console via USB, do they connect properly?

    Now connect a headset and try the update again.

    Sadly this didn't work. I think i might just have to send it in for a replacement unfortunately.

    Phantom Controller Issue

    You could try taking the batteries out of the phantom controller and then turning off all the other controllers and the Xbox, then put the batteries back in and then use that controller to turn on the Xbox.
