    What is wrong with My Xbox One S?

    This is what has been happening:

    Xbox started okay from Instant-on, I immediately started the disc based game Divinity: Original Sin Enhanced Edition. Xbox powered off, and the controller light was flashing. After a minute or so the controller light stops flashing. I attempted to
    power on Xbox using the controller, the controller light flashed, but Xbox did not turn on. Xbox was then powered on with a quick press of the power button. Console started as though it was in
    Energy-saving, the light on controller stopped flashing.

    Disc based game was started and it the console was fine.

    Xbox 360 PC Controller with Wireless Reciever issues

    The Wireless Reciever has a solid green light when plugged into a powered USB 2.0 port. The Xbox 360 Controller is fully charged and working properly. After 2-3 months of off and on usage, now when I turn on the controller it seems not to function at all.
    All guide lights flash when the Guide button is held down, and the Wireless Reciever flashes after held. Yet when I press the connect button on the Xbox 360 Controller, It cycles the Guide lights for a split second, and then returns to all the Guide lights
    flashing and the Reciever is not flashing anymore. How should I fix this problem or is it a common defectivity?

    Xbox won't turn on

    "I unplugged it for a bit, but it won't talk to the controller. When I press the controller button it either doesn't turn the Xbox on or turns it on but then sits there with the controller light flashing for a minute"

    Try this..

    Turn off TV, AVR if using and console. Remove the power cable from the console and connect the controller to the console with a plug / play uSB charge cable.

    Restore the console power cable and turn on in this order...

    First the TV, then AVR if using and last of all the console.

    Let us know the result.

    Console turns on but no lights

    I am having the same issue. My Kinect works fine but my wireless controllers won't sync. There are no lights on the console but the console turns on fine and works with Kinect. There are lights on the controller, replaced batteries on controller to be
    sure the issue isn't the controller. Could this be the power supply somehow? I read that the red/orange light could mean you need a new power supply..

    Microsoft Xbox One Controller Driver not working

    Hey Petebary,

    So you say the controller now does not turn on once you plug it in, just vibrates when you insert it. The USB connection to the controller is how it powers up so would you mind trying to put in some batteries into the controller to see if it simply turns
    on?

    When you hold down the Xbox button on the controller it will start flashing. As long as the light is on, the controller is being powered.

    If there is no power connected with USB or with batteries, the controller will need to be exchanged. If there is power with batteries, then maybe you should try a different USB cable.

    If the controller is able to turn on with batteries then you may need to try connecting using Bluetooth, Wireless or another USB cable.

    I hope that information is helpful!

    Xbox One controller wire not lit when plugged into PC

    Hello!

    It should light up as long as it's plugged into both power and the controller. If it's charging the controller, most likely the light on the cable is defective. If it's not charging the controller then it may be something with the power source, cable, or
    controller.
