My controller flashes/blinks twice then doesn’t turn back on.

My controller won’t stay on, I’ve tried different batteries charged. I’ve use usb cables, I even unplugged the console and let it rest and restarted it. When I restarted the console and turned on the controller with the usb cable, It was on for a bit started flashing for like a minute straight wouldn’t connect so I unplugged the controller reconnected it for it to flash twice, then turn off. I held the middle power button for 5-10 seconds just for it to flash for 20 seconds then turn off. I don’t know what to do

Hi, I hope you're doing great out there. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you with your concern.

Seems like you have performed all the necessary steps. Do you have a different device where you can try plugging in the controller to check if that will work? It can be a PC, Laptop, or another Xbox console.

This is to check if the issue is with the controller or your Xbox console.

I can also turn the console on with my controller, which os plugged directly into the console, but the controller doesn’t stay on and turns off after blinking about four times

I tried this and this did not work either, but the controller home button blinked twice before turning off again.
