Same thing happened to my controller you have to kind of drag the cord down and probably put the tape on the wire onto the back of your controller. It helped me.
I’ve been treating my controller fine and the right not stick is loose and has insane drift, luckily I can fix the drift by disconnecting in and connecting it back
Its probably the wire. I have a power a controller and it wouldn't work. I had another cable with the same connection laying around and it worked. The wires they give us are also cheap af.
Wtf?! Lmfaooooo that shit literally just worked for me too. I was mad asf cuz I just left the store with this shit. It was fresh out the box and wouldn’t work at all 💀💀. Good lookin out💯
Power down ur console unplug all the wires from the back and plus it bavk in and make sure u dont unplugh un controller then switch it on wait till the menu pops up then it should work
I've just fixed mine. The power kept dropping in and out on mine which obviously made it unusable. I took it apart and checked the ports, all fine. Put to back together and realised the cable I'm the top of the controller had a little bit of play on it. I've literally just folded a small piece of paper a few times and wedged it down the back of the controller. Hope this helps someone 😀
Solid, I'll have to try this out. You would think going from indestructible controllers in the 80's they would have kept the same concept. Ever since the switch came out it seems like nothing but controller issues for every system. PS5 drift Xbox drift switch drift. I go to use any of my N64 controllers no stick drift or issues and those controllers still stand the test of time. I'm sure it i had my Atari still it would have better stick control then what controllers are like now a days.
I just had this happen and I tried everything until I unplugged the Xbox completely and restarted and then plugged the controller again and it worked. Hope that helps you guys
Mine is only working on a certain angle, I do have wireless ones but I don't like using them, if I could possibly have some help on how to fix this, I'd appreciate it
I had the same issue except GameStop employees said I couldn’t use my warranty controllers anymore so they gave me a warning red one and it only worked for a little over 2 weeks and it doesnmt seem to be broken so idk what my controllers issue is; only seems to work if it’s on an angle but the cable rn is not working
Mine does this as long as the internals are good it’s probably a connection issue from the console being left on to long or shut off improperly. My recommendation is to unhook it from your xbox and unplug your xbox for about 30 seconds, plug it back in let it fully power on and rehook your controller.
My right trigger stopped working last night out of nowhere. I had been playing earlier in the day. I even paid for a warranty and when I took it back to Walmart to even exchange it they told me they can’t without the box.. even though I have the fucking receipt.
To play it,it has to have a usb hole and type-c charger plug the type-c the charger in the usb hole(the one in the front) and it should have a glowing light and you should be good to go!❤
Try cleaning the usb/Charging port on the controller with some alcohol and a small piece of paper. Sometimes diet accumulates on the terminal and blocks connection to the usb cable. I hope you will be able to game soon ✊🏿
If it don’t work hold the power button and press up on the pattern and right then it will shut off then go behind your Xbox and unplugged the power then wait 30 or 40 seconds then plug it back in then hold your power Xbox controller then it should work. Your welcome 🙏
Mine just started doing that. The problem is the USB connection, there's a shitty solder point that breaks loose easily. Solution is to solder that connection.
@@hwp_k1ng8 that's if they paid 18-50 dollars a year on the protection plan which nobody does because it's a waste of money you could use that money you spent on the protection plan and get a new one.
@@SlowMoe0 very true but i didn't get the protection plan, like you said its a waste of money but my friend had that same problem and holding the power button for fourish seconds worked and he didn't get the protection plan either
Same now it's completely dead its constantly pressing left trigger and holding the thumbs tick left like not drift straight up holding it left but it looks normal I can't do anything can't swap games watch videos nothing
So many ppl have issues with these… I own three that were all purchase over the course of a couple years, just got new ones cuz different colours and I got one at an overstock auction for like 10$… never had an issue with them other than my 2 year old one getting slight stick drift.. don’t know how so many ppl have such shit issues with them unless they’re using them to rage and complaining they couldn’t take a beating lol
I bought a power A controller 14 days ago, i had no problem with it but somehow my aim flicks to the left a little sometimes, I haven’t done anything to the controller since i was scared of breaking it but for no freaking reason it got this stick drift issue, the controller is way more comfortable and more fun to use than a normal Xbox controller but the stick drift issue is annoying af
I’ve had those controllers before and they are bad after a little while like mine if I tried to use it it would shut off and another thing that is bad about those controllers is the joysticks they break after a week or two if you play a good bit my recommendation is for you to get a wireless controller
I just got one. Don’t have long hopes on it really. It was $26 compare to buying a new wireless one for $50-70. My elite series controller 2 LB button broke and it’s essential for FPS…I don’t want to program a back button. I hate those things. Make my gaming experience uncomfortable. Also had connectivity issues after hard control modifications. So elite series 2 1/10. Not even good. With precision rings and kontrol freek heighten thumbsticks
First plug it into all available usb Different cable, try using cable to charge something else Try a laptop as well Personally I go through controllers every 2 or 3 months I use the power a with buttons on back, and they are 25 to 30 bucks. Out of 16 only had 1 dud
Buy PDP brand controllers, i have one and they are cheap and they come out the box with NO drift, powerA is just kind of inconsistent, the first time i got one the microphone port was broken and the deadzones were too high
Mine start to act up when in playing elden ring can't move forward at times n can't turn life most of the time now it activating skill just by moving the view point upward I'm getting piss plus it doing it with other games too
I know plz see this comment I got the same problem it’s because the charger does not have enough volt to connect the controller with the Xbox so you need a special charger for Xbox itself and if youre already using one then idk what the problem is
Is there anyway you can text that’s my question are you still does this to me like it works for you? Leave it on your desk thing but if you pick it up, it just turns off.😅
On your Xbox you can’t push the USB all the way in. It Hass to stick out a little bit and the controller will come on. I had that same controller and I bought it and the first time I plugged it in it didn’t work so now it works
My controller keep bringing up issues and i always fix it, few weeks ago the joystick completely froze it didnt move, i fixed it now im dealing with joystick bumper and LB button, gotta fix em to
I got this 2 days ago and I went to play combat warriors on roblox and the triggers just fucking stopped working I haven't slammed it smacked it or anything and it just stopped working
YOOOO ON MY LIFE THAT SHIT WORKED IM NOT CAPPING BRO I THOUGHT THAT SHIT WAS FAKE BUT U GOTTA TAKE THE CORD OUT AND PUT IT BACK IN AFTER RESET YOOOO THANKS SO MUCH BRO
What happen if Change the Changer to new It won’t recognise as it been A few years of using it Xbox Detects differences With the charges So just stay with old charger because it happen me Too
My controller do the same thing but I change the wire and now 2 months after my left bumper d’ont click. That’s 3 controllers I broke ( not for rage quitte )
This was happening to me to bro but than I solved it so what you want to do is unplug your Xbox and plug back in and it will turn on hope this helps you out
What happened to mine a second ago was it would turn on but wouldn’t respond to me clicking buttons so just hold your power button on the Xbox for 10 seconds until it turns off then unplug the Xbox for 15 secs and then turn the Xbox back on and it should work
Bro my controller out the blue stop working I have the same exact one…not the cord because when I put it in calibrate mode or hold the map button my light blinks…but it just won’t come on for some reason any fix?
I just found out its broken one of the things inside moved
What thing pls bro tell me
It's like idk how to explain
Yo in thenplace where u put the USB
One of the things moved
Do you know how to fix it
Same thing happened to my controller you have to kind of drag the cord down and probably put the tape on the wire onto the back of your controller. It helped me.
Can you say it on germany
@@MuhamedAlessia Sie müssen das Kabel nach unten ziehen und wahrscheinlich das Klebeband auf dem Kabel auf der Rückseite Ihres Controllers anbringen
Or get another c type charger
@@xoyamsit’s not the wire it’s the port in the controller
this fixed mine thanks so much dude
Bought 3 of these past week, all have different issues. Starting to get annoyed with the hard fixes
Paid 50 quid for a bag of shit i used it for a month and wham stick drift
Power A's "quality"
warranty?
by a series controller mine has isues with connection but it lasted like 2 years
Power A cotrollers are bad when it comes to durability
Cap I have a power a controller and I have it for 2 years and it has no problems
Ong it just depends on how you treat you controllers
I’ve been treating my controller fine and the right not stick is loose and has insane drift, luckily I can fix the drift by disconnecting in and connecting it back
Haha tell that to this mf trooper he took a fall a hammer and a bend
Iv dropped mine a million times yea you have to out back in the plate but no problems

Is it plugged in your Xbox? It needs to be plugged in your Xbox.

You can’t you need to have a wireless one a controller that can use Bluetooth
U need to buy a usb-c otg and plug that into your phone and then plug the wired controller into that
I have the same controller
same
I bought one this past Friday today the left trigger just continuously pressing without me pressing the trigger

do a recalibration, there is a calibration manual on the PowerA website
