I want to pair my controller but i literally can’t, my controller won’t turn on if i hold the xbox button it will flash and then when i let go it will turn off again, and if i try to hit the pair button on the xbox it makes a “DINK” type of noise idk how to explain but i quite literally can not connect my controller i have tried everything, removing controller batteries and putting back in, holding power button for 10 seconds and unplugging for 30 second i literally can’t get anything to work
#Controller not connecting

Have you replaced the batteries?

okay well that fixed the controller, thanks. But the xbox itself still won’t enter pairing mode
i know a solution but it takes a while and i have to do it everytime
i have to go to xbox remote play on my phone by connecting the controller to my phone and then i go to the settings from remote play on my phone and connect it there

You're definitely pressing the right button?

I'm going to assume that means you were pressing the eject button for the disc drive.
