PowerA enhanced wired controller not turning on at all???

The controller might be faulty. You either send it back to where you got it from and get a replacement or money back, or talk to PowerA about it, as they might be able to help fix the issue for you. https://www.powera.com/support/

Hello Shadow,my name is Marvina, I will be happy to help you.

Before you begin troubleshooting connection or power issues with your Xbox controller, try the following:

Check battery level: Replace controller batteries with new ones, or make sure rechargeable controllers can be recharged. (Do this if your controller still has power; weak batteries can cause issues and functionality.)

Turn your console completely off and turn it back on: Press and hold the Xbox button for 5-10 seconds, until the controller turns off. Wait a few seconds and then press and hold the Xbox button again to turn the controller back on.

The controller is wired. I'd rather not use Edge. It's an enhanced xbox PowerA controller

Hi. The controller I have is "PowerA Enhanced Wired Controller for Xbox Series X|S". There is a section for PowerA in verified controllers. It use to work for me just fine for over a year. I am not sure why suddenly it is not working. Any ideas?

The controller has a detachable usb cable.

I tried the same usb cable with another Xbox One controller and i still got disconnected with movement of the cable. I wanted to test the Enhanced Wired Controller with another usb cable but i dont have any others that fit as the controller has a slightly
different port for the cable.
