Defective Xbox Elite pad received after RMA

[quote user="Io BALLiSTiC oI"]1). I have already called MS and got a replacement shipped to me, which will be here in 3-5 days, plus I got 1 month XBL for the trouble, which is nice.[/quote]Why would you
RMA a console that is less than a week old?

Your retailer is the entity that should be taking care of console defects within the first 30 days. After that, go to MS. One should almost never RMA a DOA/defective product to the manufacturer. That's the Retailer's responsibility.

I think it's safe to say that your Xbox wireless LAN adapter is defect, and no need for further troubleshooting is required.

Either you request an RMA, and send it in for a repair, or connect your console with an Ethernet cable.

Unfortunately, your warranty period expired in February. For Elite Controllers, it's 12 months in the UK and 90 days in the US (unless purchased in an Elite bundle, which is 12 months). If you attempted the RMA process prior to the warranty expiring, customer
support might make an exception.

Personally, I would keep contacting support regardless of the warranty period expiring, as Microsoft knows these controllers are defective. In the US, there was an unofficial program offering a one-time free replacement to Series 1 owners.

For anyone else reading this response in the future:

Never buy Xbox Elite Controllers, including Series 2. They are overpriced and faulty.

I have an xbox one elite controller, it's working fine - Use it as my primary controller and the grips / buttons all work fine, you must have been unlucky and received a defective unit.

If your Seagate 2TB external hard drive is NOT detected on any of the USB ports on your Xbox console or PC then it is likely that it has become defective. If the unit is within the warranty period then you can contact Seagate to do a warranty repair/replacement.
When they issue you a RMA then you send your defective drive to their repair depot and they send you back a replacement (this may be a refurbished unit).

Good luck!
