    Controller won't reconnect


    so I got the Xbox one controller with the oculus rift and whenever the controller turns off after being inactive for some time, when I try to reconnect it to the computer, it connects for a second and then disconnects, and I have to close the oculus program
    or sometimes restart the computer for it to reconnect, I've read on other forums that it needs an update but it says it's up to date.

    What do I need to do to fix this?

    Another forum had said its a hardware issue and needs to be replaced.

    :)

    Controller and Headset Won't Reconnect

    This happens to me as well, but usually when I accidentally disconnect the headset. If I try to plug it back in, I can't talk/hear anything though the headset until I restart my Xbox. I've noticed that this ONLY happens on my Halo 3 controller, and not my
    11 others, so it's a controller problem and has nothing to do with the console or the headset.

    Not sure how much that helps.

    It happens to the second controller but not every time but Yes it does happen.

    No it does not seem to happen when the Play and Charge Cable is plugged in but then again the controller does not time out when the cable is plugged in. It just says on.

    I would really like to figure out of this is a serious problem because my warranty is up in Sept.

    Controller desynced and won't reconnect

    Hey there Deanston,

    What happens if you try a fresh set of AA Batteries as opposed to rechargeable ones. Or try connecting the controller to the console via USB cable?

    Controller and Headset Won't Reconnect

    I have the same problem. After timing out the controller won't connect. It turns off when I turn off the console so it is connected somehow but it just blinks and won't connect right

    Controller and Headset Won't Reconnect

    I just tried disabling vibration while it was in one of its vibration fits and it just kept vibrating. seems the only way to get it to stop is to shut off my console.
