  1. Xbox series x controller turns on light but is unresponsive


    My Xbox series x controller turns on light but is unresponsive. It shows that is on, but won't do the startup blink, go into link mode or respond to any button press. Is there any way to fix it?

    :)

    Do I need a new controller?

    Hello ÚÑKÑØẄÑ ©, My name is David. I am an independent advisor, happy to help you today.

    I'm sorry you're experiencing this issue with your Xbox Series X controller. Here are some possible solutions you could try:

    Restart your Xbox console: Press and hold the power button on your Xbox console until it turns off. Next, disconnect the Xbox Series X from its power source. Turn off the Xbox controller and remove its batteries. Finally, connect and turn on your Xbox Series X.

    Restart the controller: Press and hold the power button on the controller for several seconds until it turns off. Then turn it back on.

    Pair the controller with the console again: Press and hold the sync button on the console until the power button flashes. Then, press and hold the sync button on the controller until the lights on the controller flash.

    Best regards.

    Xbox elite controller y, b,a, x, no lights 1

    There is no lights on the a,b,x,y buttons on the Elite controller. The only light is the Xbox button, when you turn the console on.

    Why did my elite controller stop working on my Xbox and won’t turn off or do anything even when I unplug my Xbox

    My console is the Xbox series X. My controller stopped working last night while I was playing a game and it said reconnect controller but it was still on. I’ve tried holding the pairing button but nothing happened. I’ve tried taking it out of range of my Xbox to see if it would shut off. I’ve tried restarting and unplugging my Xbox. But my elite controller still has the light on and won’t do anything. Even the button to change paddle presets isn’t turning those lights on.
