    XBOX controller won't start, lights flashing


    I have an XBOX controller that uses rechargeable batteries and connects with bluetooth to my pc. But after the battery is full with the indication of the lights on the XBOX off, I unplug it and try to turn it on without a cable but it can't, just blink the lights quickly. So my controller cannot turn on if it is not connected to the USB cable. Solution please.

    :)

    You said you were using rechargeable batteries how long have you had them and have you tried regular batteries in the way to rule out the power supply if not the batteries there is a small hole in the back of the controller to reset it.

    Hi Nuons, my name is Daniel and I would be happy to help.

    It is possible that this is a problem with the firmware update of the controller, so I recommend that you perform the following steps to update your controller. You mentioned that you play on PC, so the steps that I am going to recommend below are for PC:

    1. Download and install the Xbox Accessories app from the Microsoft Store, and then launch it.

    Link: https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/xbox-accessories/9NBLGGH30XJ3

    2. Connect your Xbox wireless controller via USB or Xbox adapter.
    3. If an update is required, you will see the Update Required message when you connect the controller. Download and install the update.

    Xbox only half turning on

    Press rectangular button near the USB door of your Xbox. The lights will start flashing in circular order. Then press tiny button near the charging port on top of your controller. Within a second the console and the controller will find each other and then
    you can start playing!

    If this won't work, try replacing the batteries in your controller.

    New elite controller

    Hey - if you press the button on the top of the controller that looks like o))) the controller light will start flashing.

    Then press the button on the left of the xbox - should start flashing too, and then slow down and stay on.

    Let us know how it goes.
