    Exchanging a bad controller


    I just bought Xbox One X, and the controller is faulty. It randomly disconnects from the console, even while I'm playing a game. I went through the process of setting up an exchange through Microsoft, but they want me to send them my controller before
    they send me the new one? Does anyone have any insight to this? It seems like they would want to send me the new one, then have me send the old one back to them, as opposed to not using my Xbox for weeks while waiting for the new controller. Bad business
    practice. Is there any way around this? I use Xbox for streaming as well as games, this would mean no TV until I get a new controller. Seems so backwards. Thanks.

    :)

    I recommend try to update the controller.

    1. Sign in to Xbox Live on your Xbox One console and install the latest system update if prompted to do so.
    2. If you have a stereo headset adapter, plug it into the bottom of your controller so it can also get updates.
    3. If you're using a stereo headset adapter, plug in a headset (a headset must be plugged in so the adapter will turn on).
    4. Press the Xbox button to open the guide.
    5. Select System > Kinect & devices > Devices & accessories, and then select the controller you want to update.
    6. Select Device info, select the Firmware version box, and then select Continue.
    7. When the update is complete, you can update additional controllers. If they can only be updated via USB, see Update
      via USB
      . Otherwise, select the Update another button on the screen after the first update is complete, and then follow the steps.

    Also you can try this:

    they ask you to send it so that if it gets to have any damage they can fix it and re-envise it or just check that they should send you a new one, I would recommend connecting it via usb and checking that it has the latest updates before sending them that
    it could be what causes the disconnection, if there is no other send it it is better to lose a few days of play than to continue to cause you problems

    Where did.you buy your console. If it's new, i would personally just go back to the store, have the whole thing replaced if it's not fit for use.

    A device is always returned before an exchange happens

    Warranty repaira never have payment options attached
