Xbox One controller issue

Yersterday i was playing Xbox One with my controller connected (wired), with a battery (it's not the Play and Charge). I used to play like this for months, and until now i have had no problems with this.
After 2 or 3 hours playing, my controller turned off and it wasn't connecting, so i disconnected the cable and connected again, turning on the controller. 5-10 seconds after that i felt a burning smell coming out the controller, so i disconnected the cable again.
i tried to sync it again with batteries ( i tried with 4 pairs of them, fully charged) but it blinks twice and turns off.
It's very funny because the controller still works with batteries and plugged at the same time, but not wireless or just wired without the batteries, so i thought that could be a problem with the plug and the wireless(the "power" comes from the AA batteries and the connection from the cable).
Is there anything i can do to fix my controller?
PS.: I'm really sorry for my english, i'm from Brazil.

its usually not a good idea to use a wireless controller with only the plug and play cord with no battery's.

it tends to cause the controller to not charge or eventually not connect .

Hi Robert,

Are you using the controller on an Xbox One console or on PC?

The LED light on the Play and Charge kit cable will glow orange indicating the battery is charging and then a white light to indicate the battery is fully charged. If the LED is not glowing at all, then this indicates that there is no battery pack to charge.

Take out the rechargeable battery and insert it again in the correct position. If the LED is not glowing orange and the battery is in the correct position, then the battery is not being detected by the controller or the battery is faulty and cannot be recharged.

To test the cable, remove the battery pack and try using the controller in a wired format. If then controller works without the battery pack and just the cable, then the cable is fine. If the controller works without a problem using standard disposable batteries
then the battery pack is the issue.

Try these tests out and let us know the results!

If your Xbox Series X controller blinks twice, it usually means that the batteries are low or the connection with the console has been lost. Here's what you can try:

1. Replace the batteries: If the batteries are low, the controller will blink twice repeatedly. Try replacing the batteries with fresh ones and see if it solves the problem.

2. Re-sync the controller: To re-sync the controller with the console, press and hold the pairing button on the console until the light starts flashing. Then, press and hold the pairing button on the controller until the light on the controller begins to blink rapidly. Wait a few seconds for the controller to connect.

3. Check for interference: Certain wireless devices or objects may interfere with the controller's signal. Make sure there aren't any devices or obstacles blocking the signal between the controller and the console.

If none of the above solutions work, you may need to contact Xbox support for further assistance.
