    Xbox controller won’t stay on longer then 3-5 seconds


    My Xbox remote seems to turn on, stayed connected for about 4 flashes then dims off again, in those flashes it works for a moment, so it is connected to my Xbox one S, when it occurred I was playing a game and it just randomly powered off, I plugged the
    cord in (was using batteries) and it continued to not work. Only time it flashes up is with brand new batteries, someone help please?

    :)

    Xbox One on but won’t do anything

    My Xbox One will power on, with the white power light on, but it won’t do anything. The tv doesn’t detect an input source. I’ve checked the tv and the hdmi cable, and they both work. Also, the controller won’t connect to the Xbox. I can turn the Xbox on
    with the controller, but the controller won’t connect and flashes the middle button light. The Xbox will eject and take cds, and I can hear the cd rom spinning when I put a disc in, but the Xbox won’t do anything else, and the controller still won’t connect. I
    also can’t turn the Xbox off, unless I hold the power button for 5 seconds. When I press the the button, the sound plays for the Xbox’s turning off, but it stays on.

    Xbox Constantly Disconnects from Network

    The controller has not been de-syncing. The console literally disconnecting every 5 seconds so i can't even stay connected in any apps long enough to stream anything.

    The xbox is connected directly to the modem. I've tried multiple things with the modem too.

    While the controller is flashing, press the sync button on both the controller and console to re-sync the connection. Try this while the controller is wired to the console with a USB cord.

    anytime I connect it via USB cord it will only hold power while I hold the power button and flashes rapidly like it’s got no charge and then after a few moments fails to show any sign of power with new batteries or by USB cable or both.. if I could send
    a video it’d be much more helpful, I can’t find anyone with the same problem that I’m having anywhere..

    What kind of batteries are you using?

    Are you using fresh disposable batteries, or are you using rechargeable batteries (if so, NiMH or NiCd)?

    When you used an USB cord, was that a USB data cable or a charging cable for smartphones? Charging cables for smartphones often do not have the data lines connected, but only the power lines.
