  1. When I turn on my Xbox One controller, it lights up, blinks, then slowly dims and turns off


    I've noticed this issue about 3 or 4 days ago, and I initially thought it was the batteries - so I replaced the batteries and tried it again, it didn't work.

    I tried using a USB cable and connect it to my Xbox - it didn't work. I connected it to a phone wirelessly and it worked, and I also connected it to a Windows computer via USB and it worked there as well. I looked up some answers to see if I could try something
    to fix it and I found things like "it needs a firmware update", so I connect it to the Windows computer, install and open Xbox Accessories, and updated the controller.

    I reconnect it back to my console, but nothing changed. It works on everything but my console, which is extremely confusing. I tried using the reconnect button on the controller to see if that was the issue, but after doing that - nothing changed.

    So... what do I do now?

    :)

    My XBOX ONE keeps turning on by itself...Help?

    I'm bumping this up because my Xbox One just started doing this yesterday. We turn it off, it turns itself back on within an hour. The screen is dimmed and won't light up even when we use a controller. Auto-sign-in is off as is the ability to turn on the
    Xbox using Kinect.

    Slim Console Light bounces around - please help.

    Hey OP, that's certainly odd. When the second quadrant lights up, does the first one go dim? Or do they both light up for a short time? Also, is it possible someone in the house is turning on then turning off a controller remotely?

    "Xbox turn off" and T.V

    The console does not come back on. The light on the console when I turn it off does the following: brightens, dims off, brightens, dims off, brightens, and finally turns off ( doesn't dim). The t.v turns off when the light comes back on the first time and
    then turns back on after the second time it comes on. I have done both of your suggestions and neither worked.
