How do I fix a broken xbox button on my series s controller

Rylan_16 · Jul 27, 2023

My brother dropped my series s controller so now it doesn’t turn on by holding the Xbox button on the controller, but now you can only turn it on by holding the sync button which turns it on and sets it to sync, but when I sync it to my xbox, I cant turn off the controller using the xbox button and can’t go to home since the Xbox button doesn’t work, everything else works except the xbox button.

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

You can try and clean it to see if you get it to react however your best choice is to have it repaired

Disconnect your controller before cleaning it. Use a soft lint-free cloth (microfiber cloths work great) dampened with a little bit of mild soap and water, isopropyl alcohol solution (70% or less), or premoistened disinfectant wipes. Never apply liquids directly to your controller.

It's normal. My Xbox Series X and Series S came well packaged and I didn't need to hit the bind buttons to sync the controllers.

My elite series 2 rb button doesnt work and i cant find a replacement button how do i fix this

Microsoft knew the controllers were defective and still sold them as a good product. they wont do anything to fix your controller because its most like out of warranty thats why the warranty was so short. The whole elite series 2 was a scam

Turns out it was somehow trying to connect to either the xbox one s or xbox series s consoles in my house for some reason. Turning them off fixed it.

Sidenote: In all my experiences with wireless xbox controllers (xbox 360, xbox one, xbox series x/s) the sync button needs to be held to be put into pairing mode (quarter ring rotating clockwise /flashing xbox logo), while the button on the console needs a single press, if it helps anyone.
