    Controller won't turn on unless plugged into PC.


    My controller's batteries are brand new, but the controller wont turn on by itself. The controller works fine but only after it is plugged into my PC. It is definitely a wireless controller, and it is fully updated. I just need it to work without being plugged in. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    :)

    Hi! I'm Luis, a fellow Xbox Gamer . Thanks for reaching us out here.

    If your controller is fully updated but still won´t power on without a cable then it sadly needs to be replaced or serviced.

    Or you can still use it if you do not mind using a cable

    The controller that came with my xbox says it is wireless but won't turn on unless it is plugged in.

    I'm assuming the light in the middle of the controller is turning off? If so that would indicate your batteries are dead. If it works when plugged in, and is not working with brand new out of package batteries that are working on other items, it may be a
    defective controller itself.

    If this was a new console, you could attempt and exchange with where you purchased it.

    I agree that it is possibly a defect with the controller. I would contact Xbox support as you are still under warranty.

    Maybe,possibly try re-syncing that contoller? It has probably just unsynced randomly :)

    Could be a defects in the controller even if you plunged it in yes will work 100% at same time battery terminals could be problem to where the battery is not making contact with it..

    or just return it and get new one save your self stress
