XBOX ONE ELITE Controller - Not Syncing - Not Connecting

Dj Freddy D · Nov 15, 2015

Brand New 1 day old Elite Xbox One - Controller will not sync.

Elite controller is updated, it received the latest update.

Xbox One Elite console received the new update.

Replaced batteries (Used 8 sets of batteries, Duracells and Energizers)

Plugged in USB - Works when plugged in, unplug after a few minutes and light just flashes indefinitely and will not sync.

Tried syncing via sync button on console and controller.

Power Cycled Console numerous times.

Unplugged console numerous times.

FACTORY RESET the Elite Console 5 times.....

So far this is a total disappointment so far! $500 console and the *** controller won't sync!

Xbox One Controller Issue

My xbox controller just won't work. I have tried syncing it, nothing happens. I have tried connecting it with a cable, works for a few seconds then decides to stop working. Is it my xbox controller that is broken? The xbox i have is the original and so is
the controller. (aka, not xbox one S or X, the first one)

Please see this thread. Your not alone. Temp fix is to turn of instant on until they patch the OS. That will solve the problem.

Game Stop asked me to go back and exchange my unit. Something about the syncing chip - defect. The new unit has no issues so far.

Hey Dol -

Have you tried connecting your Xbox Elite controller to your Xbox One console via USB to force a sync? If that doesn't work, it sounds like getting your Elite controller repaired will be next option. Here is information on

Servicing Your Elite Controller.

Let us know if that works.

Updates:

Paired both controllers to console at the same time. Both controllers lost and regain sync at the same time.

Paired Elite controller to iPhone. No disconnects.

Paired one controller to console and other to phone. Controller connected to console disconnected, controller connected to iPhone stayed connected.

I have a white Elite V1 controller, and a standard Xbox One Bluetooth controller. Both get used a lot because one is synced to my console, and one to my PC.
