Hello The Dragon Keep,

Thank you for posting on the Xbox forums. We understand that none of your controllers are responding when you connect them to the console. Are you using an Xbox one or Xbox 360? If you are using an Xbox One, we recommend

power cycling the console by holding down the power button on the console for ten seconds. Also, we have a support article that provides

troubleshooting for controller issues. Be sure to let us know the results!

Best Regards,

Leo

Hi.

My name is Renato.
I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Xbox user like you.

I'm sorry for the issue with your controller. You didn't mention if it's connected to the PC or the console. In any case, if you haven't already (It's not clear from the automatic translation if you have used a cable), you should try connecting it via cable and see if it works. It's possible that it has lost its association with the device, and you may be able to reconnect it using the cable.

You should also try turning off the console and unplugging the power cable for about a minute, then plug it back in.

I'll provide you with the link to the support page related to the controller malfunction where you can find further information

https://support.xbox.com/help/hardware-network/controller/wireless-controller-solution

Lastly, if you bought it for Christmas, it's certainly covered by the warranty, and in case of malfunction, you can request a replacement or repair. At the end of the page I've linked before, you can open a support ticket.

I hope I've been helpful.

Kind regards
Renato

Hey there SpartanbadgeZ.

Let's have you try removing your batteries from your controller and plug it in via USB cables. Let us know if it eventually turns on, if so, try unplugging and connecting new batteries and reconnecting to your Xbox One.

All controllers have the most current update? Here is a link to help update controllers

Also have you tried getting a micro USB to USB cord and plugging it directly to the xbox to see if that will work?
