Faulty Controller?

TheTakenRisk · Jan 6, 2014

Hi All,

I Have read a few comments on here about problems when connecting a second controller.

I Got a spare controller with my X1, the first time my girlfriend used it, it worked fine. However, yesterday she wanted to play some Ghosts with me so we set it up and when the game started her character just kept firing until she had no ammo (she even let
go of the pad and it carried on). It wouldn't even let her aim down sight or even move at first.

I Tried a few things, loaded up another game, it let her move and it wasn't firing automatically but the triggers werent responding at all.

I Thought i would try a different game so i loaded up Forza, started a race to find that (without pressing anything) the car just sat on the start grid revving like mad but not moving.

All other buttons seem to work in game but the A button is very unresponsive on the dashbord. It takes several presses on a tile to get it to do anything....... i wondered if my console was playing up but it works perfectly when using my controller.

I'm pretty sure its faulty but thought i would ask just in-case these are the second controller issues people were referring to before i contact ShopTo to get the pad changed.

Any help would be appreciated.

:)

X1 Disc Drive Problems...

Call MS.

You have a faulty drive. Make sure to ask them if they are still running their free game promotion with the faulty drive.

I'd get it exchanged mate. Does sound like a problem with the pad.

Like everything with wires and circuits, sometimes things go wrong.

Hi,

My guess is it's faulty then. Joy.cpl should show a controller if it's connected to the PC, regardless of whether it is a direct input or xinput controller.

I take it your USB ports are working okay?

Other than a faulty port or faulty controller, a damaged Windows install can occasionally break controller support.

My advice is to buy an official controller. If this works then this Power A controller must be faulty.

I believe this is either faulty controllers or maybe a faulty headset?

Something similar has happened to myself.

.

For me it was a faulty battery pack, as when I used the faulty one the controller would randomly turn off and disconnect.

If you've got another controller try swapping the battery packs. If it still persists, the controllers maybe faulty

You would need to reach out to Xbox Support and request a replacement. Take a look over the information provided on the following link. https://support.xbox.com/xbox-one/accessories/wireless-controller-broken-wont-work

Try performing a hard reset on the console EXACTLY like this.

Hold the power button on the console for 8 seconds or until the power shuts down completely. Unplug the power cord from the back of the console for 5 minutes. Plug the power cord back in and restart the console. Once it is back up and operational test
the results. If that doesn't work you may need to purchase a new controller.

Good Luck!!
