Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

My name is welcome to the community.

Hello Cormac, when it says it was blinking, did it blink and stop or did it keep blinking all day?

Is your console plugged into an outlet by itself, or is it plugged in along with other equipment?

Ok, I'll try it again... The first time, it blinked a couple of times then eventually turned off. Now, no blinking but I can still hear the fan.

Hello Dominic S, my name is zahir.

Have you tried to use a usb cable directly to the xbox and try to do a controller update.

A fast blinking light indicates that your Xbox controller is trying to connect to a console or PC. Slow blinking usually indicates that there is likely an issue with the battery pack. The most common causes of a blinking Xbox controller include: The controller battery is possibly drained or dying and must be replaced.

How do I resync my controller?

Turn on your Xbox One console and hold down the “SYNC” button on your controller simultaneously with the “SYNC” button on your console. Hold these buttons down together until the light on your controller begins to flash rapidly, then release both “SYNC” buttons.

If this does not work please use link for controller service.
