Why won't my controller turn on?
Sometimes the Xbox One controller will not turn on, even after replacing or recharging the batteries.
Is dit een goede vraag?
The Xbox 7MN-0001 Wireless Controller, was manufactured by Microsoft Corporation. It is the first generation Xbox One controller released, but has since been discontinued. This controller has since been superseded by Models 1697/1698 and Model 1708. While this controller is commonly used with the Xbox One, it can also be used for PC gaming.

My controller died during an update and would not turn on no matter what I did.
I fixed this issue by using a known good USB -> Micro USB cable from my phone charger, and fresh batteries in the controller (do NOT assume your cable is okay - try another one if you have it). Turn off the Xbox One and unplug it for a minute or two. In the meantime, plug in the controller using the USB to the side port (probably any port will do, but that's the one I used). Plug the console back in and turn it on using the button on the console, not the controller. After a minute, the light on my non-functioning controller lit up and all was good to go.
Good luck, hope it works for you too!

Might try this on my bricked (repaired connector, it worked for about 48 hours then also died during an update) controller. Wonder if a higher pin number sold with some newer phones will work? I think it might be a timing issue. Will do some more tests with the SDR# and tape antenna on the chip in case I can ID the exact point at which bootup fails. (related hack: do the same to a dead microSD card as its possible to extrapolate data overwritten if expected pattern is partially known though incredibly slow)

If your controller won't turn on, first try replacing or recharging the batteries. If that still doesn't work, your charge cable may be defective, and may not be charging your batteries. Check out the Xbox One Wireless Controller troubleshooting page for more information at Xbox One Wireless Controller Troubleshooting.

Wow it actually fixed my controller now me and my sister could play together now

I bent the battery tabs back outward,, they get pushed in over time causing poor contact. Restoring the spring action of the tabs fixed the issue.

Tried power cycling the xbox and nothing i am at a loss now way to controll my xbox i am losing my mind and keep in mind i have only had this $64.00 controller for 3 months
This happened to me. Xbox one controller dead, even with new batteries, I thought it was goosed, what I did was took the batteries out, plugged it in to the xbox and kept pressing the middle x button that normally lights up when connected, nothing happened at first, then after about 30 seconds of repeated pressing the x miraculously lit up, I disconnected it from the cable, replaced the batteries & it now works as normal, hope this helps someone.
Try putting the plus poles on the plus side and minus on the minus poles.
This can solve your problem.

It could be a physical problem, water stuck in the controller or otherwise.

Turned my x1 controller on the light dimmed after a moment then just stay off. Put in a fresh set of battery's same issue occurred. I plugged it in via USB stayed in for a moment then turned off. First time this has happened. I've got hardly any interference using only one wireless controller. I'll end up pulling it apart to see if it needs a cleaning or repairs. In the middle of playing mass effect Andromeda really wanna get back into it. Anybody figures out anything keep me posted :)

My Xbox One controller still turns in, but I can't tell bc the light on it doesn't work... And it also turns off the second I turn it on and start using it. I can't find any website to help.
