Xbox one power button doesnt work and no synced controller

Hi, power the xbox and controller on, then press and hold the power button on the xbox for 10 seconds.

When the xbox powers off pull the power cord out of the back of the xbox and wait two minutes. Reconnect the power cord and press the power button on the xbox to power it on. Power on the controller and then try using the controller to power on/off the xbox.

This solution worked. Thank you!

For anyone else reading having this issue, I still had to re-sync the controller after going through the above process, in order to solve that problem. After turning on the Xbox one with the power button sync it the normal way by hitting the sync button
on the front of the Xbox One S, and then holding the sync button on top of the controller. Thereafter, the guide button on the controller will power on the console.

However, the above solution did immediately fix the fact that the controller wouldn't turn off when I powered the console off.

[quote user="UR MAN SWEENEY"]my xbox wont sync any controllers not even with the charger wire,[/quote]The Play & Charge cable carries no sync data. It cannot be used to sync a controller, only to provide power to a controller.

i can turn my xbox on
with my controller but still doesnt sync.

Power on the console with the power button and let it finish booting. Then power-on the controller with the Guide button. When the controller's lights start spinning, hit the sync button on the console.

i
have noticed that when the green lights spin on the console after pressing the sync button that only three are spinning controller or user two does not light up at all..

It's possible your controller is damaged in some way and can no longer sync. Try
to re-pair the controller using the steps provided above.

Hi, try taking the power cable out of your xbox with the xbox powered off of course, press the power button on the xbox several times, reconnect the power cable and power the xbox on again.

Be sure that you press the sync button on the xbox first and then the sync button on the controller.

Lets us know how that works out for you please.

The old controller work with the Xbox 360 slim. Have you been following these steps to sync your controller?:

To sync them up, power on the Xbox and the controller. Then push the sync button on the Xbox (small black button next to the USB ports on the front), then push the sync button on the controller (location varies depending on the type of controller). When
you push the sync button the green light will spin in a circle (on both the Xbox and the controller). If the light doesn’t spin in a circle then it isn’t in sync mode and you might have a problem with the controller.

I did this with my own Xbox slim and my old controllers so I know it is possible.



Here is a youtube video of someone showing it work/how to do it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWGdw_oi0Xc



Hope it works! Happy gaming!

Hey there Zombie9to5.

First, be sure you power cycle your Xbox One (hold down the power button for 8-10 seconds), then try re syncing your controller by pressing the sync button on both your Xbox One and wireless controller. If you're still having issues, is there any chance you
can test your controller with a different Xbox One to see if it connects there? If an alternate console works, the issue may be on your Xbox One console's side.
