  1. Xbox One X Console Sync Button Not Working


    Hey all,

    Recently I went to turn on my Xbox via the controller, and I discovered my controller had lost the connection to the Xbox somehow - I went to resync it to my Xbox One X but the sync button is not doing anything when I press it - no flashes, noise or anything. As a result, I can't connect my controllers wirelessly to my Xbox, the only option I have is to use a cable.

    I've tried a power cycle, and also a factory reset (keeping games and apps), but I still can't get this button to work.

    I've only used the button when first syncing my controllers when I get the thing, and it seems unlikely it would have broken without any use, has anyone else experienced this and has any ideas? It's pretty upsetting to not be able to use controllers wirelessly anymore, and of course the warranty just ended start of this year...

    :)

    Can someone help me re sync my controllers ?

    Sync the Controller:
    To sync a wireless controller with your Xbox, follow these steps:

    Press the Xbox button on the controller to turn it on.
    Press and hold the small sync button on the front of the Xbox Series X console (located near the USB port).
    While holding the sync button on the console, press and hold the sync button on the controller (located on the top near the Xbox button).
    Release both sync buttons when the controller's Xbox button starts flashing. The controller should now be synced with the console.

    With the console off, press and hold the sync up button.

    While holding the sync button press the power button to turn on the console

    Continue to hold the sync button until the Console has booted up completely.

    During the boot process the console should clear any failed updates, allowing you to use it normally.

    Go to the "system" blade

    Select "memory"

    Switching Series X Controller between Xbox and PC

    You're correct that this is a feature for the Xbox Series X controller. Basically, your secondary device is the PC which you just need to press and hold the sync button for around two seconds.

    Yes, to re-sync it to your Xbox simply double-tap the sync button.

    Make sure to perform a powercycle on your Xbox if double-tapping didn't work.

    POWERCYCLE CONSOLE​​​

    ​​​

    1. Turn off your console by holding the Xbox button on the front of the console for approximately 10 seconds. The console will turn off. ​​​

    2. Turn your console back on by pressing the Xbox button on the console or the Xbox button on your controller. ​​​

    Xbox One Console sync button not working

    Did you try doing a hard reset on the console? That can usually fix these types of issues.

    Xbox One Console Sync Button Not Working?

    Generally, if your controller doesn't connect to your own console because it should be synced to another console, but in your case any problem should be with your controller, I recommend you consult Xbox support so they see what's really wrong with your
    controller.
