Why my controller wont turn on?

Daniel Landaeta · Jun 2, 2023

My controller suddenly died, i thought it was the batteries (rechargeable ones) so i connected it to the usb and it started beeping, but it won't turn on, not even flicker, is it just dead?

I don't wan't to open it if possible, cause i don't have the skills, and i don't have money to buy a new one, what can i do?

Hi,Daniel! I'm Luis, a fellow Xbox Gamer . Thanks for reaching us out here.

Unfortunately if the controller doesn’t work when connected to your console with a USB cable, your controller needs to be replaced.

If you can not afford it your best shot is to go to a local electronic sgop specialized in tech repairs

For now, why not just turn off the Xbox at the wall, then sync your controller to your PC, then turn the Xbox back on at the wall. That way you wont turn the Xbox One on when syncing the controller to the PC.
