[sullen gulch]

Yo guys so my xbox one s controller wont connect to my pc ( im using an android charging cable because my pc doesnt have bluetooh), when i insert the cable into the pc it just does a buzz sound and the xbox logo flicks (it only flicks when i press it), about a week ago i tried connecting it by bluetooth with the pair button and ever since i cant even play on the console because it wont stop flickering trying to pair with a device. Anyways, i just want to know why my controller isnt connecting to the pc with the cable and just flickers (i will provide more information if you need it)

Try a different cable. Try different USB ports both on Console and PC. If none work then your controller USB ports are probably damaged and you will need to get a new replacement controller. If it's still under warranty can send it back to Microsoft.

Sorry to hear that. Hope you got it on sale. Controllers were on sale recently.
