  1. Xbox controller flashes then dies.


    I had this controller for around 8 months and whenever I try to turn it on it just flashes 2 times and dies. I changed the batteries, plugged into a charger, updated it but it's still the same, flashes 2 times and dies.

    The first time it happened I changed the batteries it lasted 10 minutes before it died. After that I plugged it in the charger where it lasted an hour before it died.

    Now no matter what I do it always just flashes twice and dies.

    :)

    Given all the procedures you have tried so far to solve the problem, it would suggest that the controller has a hardware issue.

    Xbox One controller flashes and then dies

    Thanks for the reply - i checked my drivers/firmware and it says i have the most recent versions.

    A bit of an update - I was able to get one set of batteries to work for about 10 minutes before it cut out. Im almost positive theres a short circuit in the battery compartment but any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

    How to update your Xbox One Controller on Windows 10

    When you update your Xbox controller, you get the latest controller improvements. You can update your controller wirelessly or via USB.

    For help with update problems, see Troubleshoot update issues with your Xbox One Controller.

    On Windows 10, update your controller by using the Xbox Accessories app:

    1. Get the app from Microsoft Windows 10 by searching for "Xbox Accessories."
    2. Launch the Xbox Accessories app.
    3. Connect your Xbox One Wireless Controller by using a USB cable or the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows.
      Note You'll be prompted to update to Windows 10 Anniversary Edition if you haven't yet done so.
    4. When the controller is connected, you'll see the message “Update Required” if an update is mandatory. Install the update.
      Note You can also go to Device Info to check for updates.
    Notes

    • The Xbox Accessories app is available only on Windows 10.
    • Controllers that don't have a built-in 3.5-mm audio port must be updated using a USB connection and must have the Windows 10 TH2 Update (or later).
    • Updating the controller over Bluetooth is not supported.
    • Bluetooth requires PCs running the Windows 10 Anniversary Update. See Windows Update: FAQ to learn how to get the latest Windows update.
