Hello I have just taken the battery out of my controller and plugged it in to my console with only the usb cable and can confirm that without a play and charge battery in the controller that the light on the usb does not like up. It looks like it is only
used to confirm if the charge status on the play an charge battery.

Hey there Benscookies,

Thanks for reaching out. I'm sorry to hear about the issue with a light up usb not lighting up with the Xbox One wireless controller.

To help clarify, Are you using a 3rd party Micro USB cable to connect your Xbox One Wireless controller?

I recommend to take a look at the following troubleshooting articles:

Hi MightySlothGuy,

Thank you for posting on the Xbox forums. I'd be happy to answer that!

Unfortunately the charging cable that comes with the Xbox Play and Charge kit is not a data cable so you will not be able to use that cable to use the Xbox One controller on a Windows 10 PC. If the LED does not glow, then that means there is no rechargeable
battery in the controller to charge or the cable may not be charging correctly but a white LED means the battery is charged and an orange light means the battery is charging.

You will need to connect your controller to a Windows 10 PC with the wireless adapter or with a normal data transferring micro USB cable, not with the Xbox Play & Charge kit charging cable as that will not work as designed.

Hello!

It should light up as long as it's plugged into both power and the controller. If it's charging the controller, most likely the light on the cable is defective. If it's not charging the controller then it may be something with the power source, cable, or
controller.

It solved it, i don't have anything to charge, so it would be weird if it did.

Does it charge AA batteries?
