What troubleshooting have you done so far with Xbox elite controller?

I have tried some threads and looked at Xbox support, I assume it may be a battery problem but I want to make sure that’s the issue

Have you tried to replace the batteries?

I’m not sure how I would go about that

Just a second please!
So basically you take of the two rear hand grips, and unscrew the four screws which are torx T9 screwdriver bits, then you pull of the front casing then take the internals out of the rear casing, disconnect the battery from the port on the mother board, then you plug in your new battery put your internals back in the rear cover, put the front cover on screw it back together and put the hand grips back on

I may bring a new issue that my controller doesn’t even turn on now

Since you have tried the troubleshooting I would recommend you to change the battery.
Then it's 100% the battery.

Christine Tomas

That would be the best option.
Customer Reply
im going to leave it plugged in until so
Christine Tomas
Christine Tomas Tech Expert & Writer
Does it turn on when it's plugged in or not at all?
Customer Reply
not at all
Christine Tomas
Christine Tomas Tech Expert & Writer
Then the battery is dead.
Do not keep it plugged in, it might damage the motherboard.
