    Xbox controllers flashing and not turning on.


    Hello. I recently bought a controller for xmas and up until now it has been working fine. I went to turn the controller on and it just flashed. So I changed the batteries only for it to do the same again. I then tried my other controller from when I bought my xbox only for that controller to do the same. The batteries work but my controllers will not turn on. I assumed it was a connection issue but I can connect the controllers fine, and they turn on my xbox, but they themselves will not turn on. I don't have the receipt for the new controller so I can't take it back. How do I fix this?

    :)

    Cannot Sync Xbox 360 Controllers

    They are all different brands of wireless controllers. Microsoft to Amazon. NONE will connect. Yes the steps are followed perfectly and variants of the steps.

    Press the ON X button. Flashes in a circle. Press the Xbox Connect. It too flashes. Press the small controller sync. Flashes slow down. After less than 1 minute the Xbox stops flashing. Then the controller stops flashing.

    Only the one controller that came with it used connects. No other will. Even when I unpair, turn off, and reset the xbox. It will see NO controllers except the when I turn on the one it likes. One and that is it.

    These other controllers have NO issues with my PC or Xbox 1. Just the 360.

    Xbox controllers flashing and not turning on.

    Hello, My name is Jesse. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

    I'll recommend you do a power cycle to clear the system cache

    - Turn off your console by pressing the Xbox button on the front of the console for about 10 seconds, until it shuts down completely.

    - Unplug the console's power cable. Wait 2 minutes.

    - Plug the console power cable back in. Press the Xbox button on your console to turn it on and then attempt to sync the controller again.

    If that doesn't help, Please see a well detailed guide on how to troubleshoot the Xbox Wireless Controller here https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/hardware-ne...

    If that doesn't help with the issue, you will need to send the device to Microsoft for a service repair/replacement. You can see how to do that here https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/hardware-ne...

    If the controller is still under warranty, the repair/replacement is free. If the warranty has expired, it will cost you a fee depending on the type of controller you own. You can check out Microsoft's out of warranty service cost here https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/hardware-ne...

    X-box 360 wont connect to my contoller ???

    Start this off with the console turned OFF, and the controller turned OFF

    .

    Press and hold the Xbox Guide button in the middle of your wireless controller until the green light flashes.

    .

    Turn on your Xbox 360 console. Press and hold the connect button next to the memory card ports on the front of your console.

    .

    Press and hold the connect button on the top of your wireless controller. Use the controller with your console once the green flashing lights on both units cease spinning.
