    Register Xbox and Controller Device Issues


    I am trying to register my xbox to then register my elite controller to lodge a repair. I have entered the serial for my xbox and it accepts it and has added it to "devices" in my microsoft account. But whenever I view it, it keeps prompting me to register it even though the serial number is shown. I press register and select my country and confirm. It says "sorry taking longer than usual" then says it's completed registering my xbox. Then when I refresh the page and even wait over 24 hours it still keeps asking me to register my device. I can't lodge a controller repair until the xbox is registered so I am stuck in and endless loop of it failing. I requested a callback through support but after telling someone what was going on the call disconnected randomly.

    :)

    Register Xbox and Controller Device Issues

    Hi, my name is Julian and I'm an Xbox gamer just like you. Let's try to solve your issue together.

    This can sometimes happen due to a sync issue between your Microsoft account and device registration.

    Please try these steps:

    1) Clear your browser cache or try using a different browser/device to access your devices page. Click here https://account.microsoft.com/devices

    2) Make sure you're signed in with the same Microsoft account that you use on your Xbox console.

    3) If the device still prompts registration despite showing the serial number, try removing it and re-adding it from the same page.

    You may use this link to request a repair https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/hardware-ne...

    Please let me know if it worked or not and I would be happy to assist you further. Thank you!

    I want to request a replacement for the controller that came with the Xbox Series X because it stopped working after just 3 weeks of use.

    In order for you to possibly get a replacement for the controller in question. You must register the device and then create a service order. As long as you are still under warranty, they will generally replace the faulty device. I wish you good luck.

    https://account.microsoft.com/devices

    If the controller came with your Xbox Series X, register the console. After registering the console select 'See details' on the registered device and then opt to start order with that console. After selecting start order, you'll be able to select accessory as the category of issue.

    Xbox gamepad replacement issue

    Hi, Fidan! Thank you for reaching out.
    I'm AJ, an Independent Advisor for the Xbox Community.
    I'm sorry you are experiencing issues with your controller.

    • If your controller has developed a drift issue, you should select "Device" from the "Category" drop-down menu, and then "Thumbstick issue" from the "Issue type" drop-down menu.

    • To clarify, is this how you've tried requesting a replacement?

    - Go to https://account.microsoft.com/devices
    - Click on "Register device"
    - Register your controller using its serial number.
    - Locate your controller on the devices page.
    - Click on "See details", and select "Start order" from the Device Coverage menu.

    I'll be looking forward to your reply.
    Best regards.

    order new elite controller sticks

    Hey there!

    In order to register accessories (ie controllers) on the
    Device Support
    page, you need to have your console registered first. So go ahead and register your console (even though it's not the issue currently), and then you should be able to register your Elite controller as an accessory. At that point, you should
    be able to order parts from that page as well.

    Let us know if that helps or if you still have issues. :)
    thank you for the reply

    i have 5 registered xbox one consoles, but the elite controller was bought seperate, not bundleled with an xbox one.

    it will not accept the serial number from the elite controller...
