my 2 xbox 1 controllers wont power up at all,,ive tried 3 power ports with usb cable,and...

Have you tried to unplug console and try again. Sometimes it happens with mine and all I have to do is unplug console and it will connect. Have you tried batteries in the controllers? Have you tried the controllers on someone else console?

Best help is the support my friend, they will guide you in the best way.

Okay. Here's a list of what I did to try and trouble-shoot the issue.

1 - Turned off and unplugged XBOX 360. Plugged in 3 Microsoft brand wired controllers into USB ports on the back. Plugged in XBOX 360 and powered on. All 3 controllers show Player 1. Unplugged each controller individually at the in-line release/breakaway
connector and reconnected. No change. Each still shows Player 1.

2 - Turned off and unplugged XBOX 360. Plugged in 1 Microsoft brand wireless controller into USB port on front (I know it's a wireless controller but this one is used and the rechargeable battery is completely dead and won't hold a charge.). Plugged in
3 Microsoft brand wired controllers into USB ports on the back. Plugged in XBOX 360 and powered on. All 3 regular wired controllers show Player 1. Wireless controller that's plugged into a USB port shows as Player 2.

Thanks.

Have tried that. Also tried plugging xbox into different outlets. The usb for my wireless headset turns on but the xbox wont turn on. There seems to be power going to the usb ports but again, the xbox wont power on.

Hi,

• Yes, you can connect the controller via the USB cable to a PC. The cable sends data as well as power.
  
• You don't need batteries. The USB cable sends power and data, As long as the controller is connected to the USB port on the PC will power the controller.
