Controller won’t connect

R DJ69ER · Oct 19, 2017

Recently my Xbox one controller has been failing to connect to my Xbox one. I have tried a wireless connection but the controller will flash permanently and then it won’t connect. I have also tried a wired connection but the controller still flashes permanently.
This isn’t only a recent occurrence. I have tried turning the xbox off by holding down the button so it restarts, this made no change whatsoever in what the controller would do. I have turned off all other electronic devices In the area but nothin has changed.
There are no metal devices near the Xbox so they cannot preventing it from connecting. What do i need to do to connect my controller?

Xbox One on but won’t do anything

My Xbox One will power on, with the white power light on, but it won’t do anything. The tv doesn’t detect an input source. I’ve checked the tv and the hdmi cable, and they both work. Also, the controller won’t connect to the Xbox. I can turn the Xbox on
with the controller, but the controller won’t connect and flashes the middle button light. The Xbox will eject and take cds, and I can hear the cd rom spinning when I put a disc in, but the Xbox won’t do anything else, and the controller still won’t connect. I
also can’t turn the Xbox off, unless I hold the power button for 5 seconds. When I press the the button, the sound plays for the Xbox’s turning off, but it stays on.

Controller Problem

The power button keeps flashing on my Xbox One controller and won’t connect to my Xbox. Help please?!?!

it will be a connection problem

I think some day it will all be about Streams: we won´t have discs anymore. But don´t know if that will already happen with the next Xbox. I still think the internet connections of most people won´t work out for that yet.

I am having the same problem. FIFA 15 won´t open, AC:Unity won´t open and all the other games that I have won´t open!

The TV being turned off is not the cause of the controller not connecting.

With your tv turned off, with no power on the HD lead, the console will not start up, you will not get the xbox loading splash screen.

The connect controller option comes after the loading screen, it won`t connect because it can`t get to that point.

You may as well say why can`t play games without my TV turned on.

Actually it is you that is not listening to the replies,you seem to think you have found some major problem, you haven`t.

You want a simple answer to your question?,You are simply not connecting your console correctly, how do you expect it to work right???
