Title:

Xbox button not powering on controller

Text:

I just got a new Xbox one controller v2, but it won't turn on when I press the Xbox button.

When I connect the USB cable it starts and works just fine, I can even remove the cable once the controller is up and running and it maintains its connection to my Xbox. But as soon as I turn it of I need the USB cable to "jump start" the controller again.

The Xbox button and everything works as intended after I turned on the controller (with the cable), it just doesn't  work as an "on switch" for the controller.

It is updated to the latest firmware and I've tried different batteries.

Device:

Xbox One Wireless Controller Model 1708

Status:
