Man I have watched about ten different videos on this. First my mic wasn’t working spent three hours trying to fix that issue. Then controllers stopped. Watched this and fixed all issues instantly. Thank you. I’m giving you a sub for this

Wow you've fixed my issue! I had to hard reset the console but it's now completely fixed! Wish I watched this video before going out and spending £15 on a new wiring kit for my controller but at least I have a spare! Thank you again 😁

I appreciate it! Unfortunately for Microsoft, having to do this after dropping $100 on a single controller is unacceptable. Strike 1, 2, and 3.

Thank you so much I need to do is get a cord, plug it into my controller, plug it into my Xbox one and I was ready to go, you’re such a lifesaver and I would’ve been spending three hours trying to figure out how to do it.

found that having a external hard drive sat on top of my series s caused this to happen aswell, had me stumped for a while but eventually figured it out and sat it behind instead and no problems since

Idk what's going on with my controller, but as soon as it gets power via micro USB or holding button when it has batteries in it, it just starts blinking. And doesn't stop until power is cut off from it. It doesn't react to anything from pressing buttons and doesn't show up on the accessories screen. Please help someone

Had the same problem using the controller on Steam. Waiting for the control to be properly paired was the solution.

Thanks.
