  1. Elite Series 2 controller - stick drift. Unable to return


    Hi,

    I'm in the Czech Republic, in a small town just outside of Prague.

    My Elite Series 2 controller has stick drift on the left stick that constantly drifts upwards. It does this in all games and menus. Adjusting the tension on the stick has made no difference.

    I signed into my Microsoft account and under my account profile, went through the process to submit the issue to Microsoft (the controller is still in Warranty).

    I got through all of the steps, except at the very last step, where I am supposed to choose a shipping method, it constantly fails with the error - TraceID: 8mE7PapTQ0CWdp9k.11.878

    I've tried waiting between attempts to resubmit but nothing seems to help. The support options from the website are just referring me to a bot. Is there any way that I can actually contact someone and get my controller shipped back for repair?

    Thanks,

    Andrew

    :)

    Thanks for the update, yes. Please try using a different address to see if that does the trick

    Also, don't forget to set it as preferred billing/shipping address temporarily here:

    https://account.microsoft.com/billing/addresses

    If the issue persists try waiting couple hours and give it a new try (in case the servers are still processing the changes)

    Hi and thanks for reaching Microsoft Xbox gamer's community. My name is Josef.

    I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Xbox user like you.

    Hope you're doing great today despite this AndrewProudlove

    May I know if you tried using a different address?

    Or what about a different wifi network / browser / device?

    Also, where did you purchased the controller? In Czech Republic or in a different country?

    Hi,

    Thanks for getting back to me, so to answer your questions;

    1. I didn't try a different address yet, just my home address. I will give my work address a try.
    2. I've tried different wifi networks, mobile hotspots, browsers (Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Brave, Orion)
    3. I bought the controller here in the Czech Republic
    I'll give the address a try and post back.

    Thanks so far!
