Tips
- If your controller is displaying any other light color than amber or orange when it is plugged in, it isn't charging. A flashing white light means the controller is trying to connect, and a blue, red, green, or pink light means the controller is connected to the console.[5]Thanks
- If none of the above methods work, check to see if your controller is still under warranty. If not, you will either have to replace it or have it repaired.Thanks
