controller will not charge.

Jump to Best Response

The second time I have tried to charge my Stadia controller it will not do anything. Is anyone else having this problem? If so has anyone discovered a remedy or is this just a defective product?

Same Problem on my side. there was no light while charging, tried different cables and chargers with the same result. After an overnight charge, based on the tip above, I pressed and held the Stadia button for a long time, approximately 30 seconds. And then it worked again!

Hey @Xinstorm that sounds weird. Do you have another USB-C cable/power that you could try to charge it with to isolate if the problem is with the charging cable/power or with the controller?

If either the controller or the cable is defective or the battery inside, it might worth to contact Stadia support to ask for a repair/replacement.

Since the charger has a regular USB-A port on it just plug any old cable you have for something else into it and try to charge it, if it appears to charge normally I would suspect the controller otherwise it's the charger itself(or the cable, but this is unlikely).

Hey look for another post about a "dead controller".   I had this problem.  Try holding the button down for 8-12 seconds, and then try powering it up after that.

I don’t remember exactly what I did but ended up long pressing one of the buttons and it ended up coming back. I remember I have tried it it didn’t work and then I finally got it to work and it’s been fine since.

I had to hold down the power button for maybe 20 sec had it plugged in.  I think what happen it was a super weak charge and i had to let the power cable plug in for 5 min then long hold the power button.  I think the dog tripped over the cord. And I thought it was charging and wasnt
