Xbox series s controller certian buttons suddenly not working

Hi and thanks for reaching out. I hope you’re doing well. I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user like you and I'll be happy to help you.

It sounds like your Xbox controller may be experiencing a hardware issue. The flashing light before turning on suggests that the controller is trying to connect to the console but failing. You have tried some of the basic troubleshooting steps such as updating the controller, changing the batteries, and using a USB, but the problem persists. The next step would be to try connecting the controller to a different console or computer to see if the issue is with the controller or the console.

If the controller works on a different device, then the issue may be with your console. If the controller does not work on any other device, it is likely that the controller needs to be repaired or replaced.

Hi. The controller I have is "PowerA Enhanced Wired Controller for Xbox Series X|S". There is a section for PowerA in verified controllers. It use to work for me just fine for over a year. I am not sure why suddenly it is not working. Any ideas?

Hello PatrickAyres,

Thank you for your contribution to the Microsoft community.

We totally understand that you want to pair your Xbox Series S controller to your system. Here are some steps you can try to resolve the issue:



1. Make sure your Xbox Series S console is turned on.

2. Press and hold the pairing button on your controller until the Xbox button starts flashing.

3. On your console, press the pairing button on the front of the console.

4. Wait for the controller to connect to the console.



If this doesn't work, you can try resetting your controller by following these steps:



1. Turn off your Xbox Series S console.

2. Press and hold the pairing button on the back of your controller for 10 seconds.

3. Release the pairing button and wait for the controller to turn off.

4. Turn on your console and try pairing your controller again.

I hope I helped!
