Xbox One Controller Replacement

Microsoft Complete covers your Xbox One console, plus included controller, against accidents and mechanical or electrical breakdowns for up to three years. For covered controller and console, you get up to two replacements of a standard controller or one
replacement of an Elite Controller, and one replacement of the console – no deductible required.

I wanted to add that this is the Day-One edition controller. If it got replaced, it'd probably get replaced with a standard Xbox One controller, which is irritating.

Hello again,

The reason for asking what issues were being experienced when attempting to connect it directly to a device is to confirm if it is indeed the controller that is at fault for this process not working.

If you've determined that the controller is at fault, a suggested replacing of the controller is in order.

Within our Xbox One wireless controller solution the following is stated:

Hi there,

Sorry you're having trouble with your controller.

In this support thread, it mentions a possible controller replacement. I could imagine how annoying it could be to replace a controller for just one button and if you think it's the Xbox that is causing this issue, perhaps you could borrow a friends controller
and see if the A button works on that with your Xbox. If It does, it will be your controller and I'd advise a replacement.
