I have exactly the same issue. Got the Controller and all it does is vibrating once, showing white light once. Nothing else.

When I put it on the charger it vibrates once and blinks orange once.  Tried all tips i could find online. 

This thing is dead...

You could contact Google support but sure to try a hard reset and a factory reset.

Did you setup the controller with the Stadia app? This could send a update to the device.

If that doesn't work go to following website:

https://support.google.com/stadia/gethelp

Search for Stadia controller broken (example)

Don't tap or click on any suggestion but choose next.

Now you can choose to chat with a support agent to get your controller replaced (within the warranty period).
