Make sure you didn’t miss the power button. Hold it for a few seconds! If still no luck, try connecting it to the console with a USB cable. Worked for me!

Here's a hot take: It could be cursed. Seriously though, maybe try resetting it by pressing the small button near the triggers!

Are you trying to use it wirelessly? If so, maybe it lost its sync. Press the sync button on both the controller and the console.

I had the same issue, turned out the battery contacts were dirty. A little cleaning fixed it right up!

Might wanna check the batteries first. Low power could be the culprit. Swap 'em out or recharge if they're rechargeable!
