Honestly.... I just started watching this video and dropped the controller and it magically began working again RIGHT before I tried your technique. So you still get credit for fixing it just off the strength
yo i have a problem where my controller wont sync unless i connect usb from xbox to controller and then my buttons and everything is unresponsive only home button worls
This guy is the man, okay I loved your little story’s along the way about your wife getting mad, and you throwing you controller out the window, and the video was still short, and you helped me! Thanks man
@@vantebruhhh8625 no all he did was hold the xbox symblole till it went it do ot again but dnt press up the right if u hold they symbole for 10sec it turn the controller off
It actually does work. You don’t have to hit up on d-pad and right on d-pad though, you just have to hold down the Xbox button for 10 seconds. Make sure you do the last step too.
It's like my controller is fully synced , It turns on like a regular Controller , But the things is that , When I move my d- pads , Joysticks , Trigger and bumpers. Nothing was responding let alone moving , I need help any resolutions?
Bro, I had this same issue with my Xbox One S, and it drove me nuts to the point that I threw my controller against a wall! But anyways thanks so much brother, this definitely solved the problem! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
For those that this didn’t work for, YOU’RE IN LUCK because i had this problem too and I learned how to fix it... so what you are going to do is connect your xbox one controller to an old samsung charger at the front of your controller>connect that cable to your xbox one through the usb port in the front> go to devices and accessories in apps on your xbox>click on the controller that is having the problem>click update controller(if it says “no need for an update” still click on it just to check) you can thank me later❤️❤️
I probs spent an hour stressing and watching about five different RU-vid videos repeatedly. Yet somehow this comment was the only thing that worked. Thank you and bless your soul.
For those watching, he says Up and Right, but he's mirrored more than likely, so press Up and Left. Up and Left worked for my controller. Maybe cause it's a new gen controller, idk
My controller was going absolutely awol. It wouldn’t sync then it would and sometimes when it synced no buttons worked and it kept rapidly switching back and forth on the home tabs. Then other times the sticks would work and the home button but nothing else and I couldn’t do anything but move the cursor around. Your trick didn’t do anything to my controller unfortunately. So I did the last thing you said and ripped the power cord out of the wall and low and behold my controller is fine now. 👍🏽👍🏽
@@hexplayz9476 you most likely have a short circuit in the controller or some of the wires have gone loose. I'd recommend trying to get a new one or finding a repair shop.
*GUYS* Instead of using this risky method, just shut the Xbox off for a least 1 hour. It should work again after that. At least that worked for me Hope this helps
Also I've NEVER read a thread and EVERY comment was going "THANK YOU SO MUCH!" Good job dude. Your an Xbox One Angel of light.....or controls should I say
Oh goodness I was literally about to freak out cuz I just bought this controller 3 weeks ago, you're such a lifesaver! Glad I looked further into the search for a fix!
Just tried it in 2022. Worked like a charm. Thanks! Like other folks are saying, you’re a lifesaver. I was already thinking I might have to shell out for a new controller.
+bugz fsod I fixed mine. Just reconnect it if you haven't already. There's a button on the left side of the Xbox it has three lines on it. Press the reconnect button on your controller then press the button on the Xbox. Then try and turn it on.
cloudyspore790 either reconnect the controller to the Xbox or change the batteries. Had the same problem just recently connecting it didn't work the time so I just changed the batteries and it worked.
Gods Shepherd GameHead question man. My kids Xbox one. I had this problem about 3 weeks ago. The Xbox would be on the controller light would be flashing then go solid but nothing happens. His controller works on my Xbox one s but won't work on his original one. I kept looking and decided to change wifi card to another original wifi card. Worked good til last night. Now same problem again back to not working even tho light is on. Is this a remedy or you think card is bad again in 3 weeks or something else.
Thanks u man I was gaming with my friends then out of nowhere my mic just stop working then 3 seconds later my whole controller stop working, thanks for showing me this trick🙌, I'm subbing for this
I was doing all of this and I wasn’t working then I realised my laptop was on my keyboard pressing down every key stopping my controller from being able to do anything
Ayo bro I just got a brand new controller a week ago and started doing exactly what you showed in the video. This trick still works man! I appreciate you spreading this info, still comes in clutch even after 4 years much love bro❤️
Wow, August 3rd 2021, and this video helped me and my controller. Literally the exact same thing happened to me, I was playing then left the controller on the Xbox came back and it was synced and on but not working. Tried y your truck didn’t work the first time but did it again and plugged out the Xbox and is working right now! Absolutely legend thank you 🙏
I'm fucking pissed off at Microsoft, this issue has already happened to me once before and pulling out the power cord fixed it but now it's happening again a week later and nothing is fixing it, I spent $500 on a console that doesn't even work due to the shit fucking software. Sorry everyone I'm mad and I am finding it hard to not smash the living fuck out of my controller. Bye
Just as mad, new fresh out of box one S 2TB. Controller failed immediately, few clicks then nothing during setup screen, after updates same issue, etc....
Huh, worked with IM support 1. went into setting for blue ray and cleared persistent storage 2. went into the NIC adv settings and alternate MAC address then rebooted Works fine now for good 1/2hr and was maybe a minute work, minute not, rinse and repeat before.
This is for people on mobile. If you try it and it doesn’t work reset your device then try to turn it on. Also make shure it’s the right d pad the screens inverted so I thought it was the left
@@clocked6967 try left instead of right or try disconnecting your console from the power source for about 30 seconds then plug it backup see what happens
Yooo i just tried out this method its crazy after 8 years of this video being uploaded that this method still works its so simple yet effective and I definitely appreciate getting straight to the point and not talking a bunch of gibberish wasting the viewer's time
Holy shit bro you are the goat I thought I was done for and then I found this method to fix it and it worked I was ready to smash my controller with a hammer. You’ve just earned a sub👍
That just happened to me today i ran across your video after doing a search! And unplugging my Xbox one and doing what you said with the joystick and it worked just fine thanks a lot Bro!
@@GodsShepherdGameHead u are a absolute god just saved me from spending 100 dollars on a new controller now i can still save up for the pewdiepie headphones i wanted
I was pressing left and up on the D pad , I was raging like. WTF THIS SHIT ISNT WORKING!!!! Finally figured it out, Thank you! I know how to handle this now 😄
Thank You So Much! I Thought It Was Caused By Changing Batteries Because When I Changed Them The Problem Started. I Was So Worried About My Xbox. Thank You So Much!
So it js me or did this not work? After 7 years of making this have you seen anything else? Ik you may not see this but… I was playing fortnite rocket leauge cod wtv and my top left stick won’t respond to going up, if I go right, left, down it works but up it responds 55% of the time
@@GodsShepherdGameHead so bad news, I have a turtle beach controller it worked, but an hour later it did the same thing now I’m using my controller with stick drift with sucks and it has no paddles or anything. I really don’t want to spend another 70 dollars on a hood controller
🙏 I hope u have a blessed day my friend the last thing someone should have to do on the part of ur day that is supposed to be relaxing and entertaining should be frustration do to something out of ur control. Thank You
