Xbox one controller light flashing when synced to console

The ring of light on the console should flash and rotate around when it's looking for a controller to sync.

To sync an Xbox 360 controller, hold the little button on the top of the controller, between the bumpers while also holding the same button on the front of the console as well. When the light on the controller begins flashing, it is syncing.

One method you could is re-synching your controller to your 360 by pushing the sync button on both your controller and the console,then the green lights should flash in a circle, then all flash, and then one light will remain indicating which controller
position the controller currently is. Hope this helps.

hey thanks for the help I tried turning it on manual and the controller sync but after that it won't sync anymore and the lights keep on flashing on the controller. when I try to go sync it with the 360 but the 360 doesn't pick it up and the lights still
flash on the controller. what does this also mean?

Try pressing the sync button on your xbox until it flashes and then press and hold the sync button on the controller until the lights start spinning and flashing. Hopefully it should connect. Also, if your not sure if its the controller or the console, maybe
try the controller on a friends console or your friends controller on your console. hope that helps
