Founders Edition Controller - Charging/Malfunction

Jump to Best Response

I just reconnected my founder's edition controller after a long period of non-use. However it doesn't seem to be powering on.  

I've plugged it into 3 different charging methods for 30 minutes each, and there is no response from the controller. I've even plugged it directly into my phone (Pixel5, USB-C to USB-C) to try and get something going there, but no response.  

Is my controller just DOA, or are there some steps I might be able to do to get it to power back on?  

To be clear, there is NOTHING happening when I plug it in or press buttons (aside from the mechanical clicks, telling me the buttons aren't just sticking or anything).

Hi @Sourboysam 
 
the only thing I can think of is to hold the y button down and then hold the stadia button down to trigger a hardware reset. It that doesn’t work, I have a feeling it might be busted for good :crying_face:
