Xbox One S help

[TXCyclones]

I just got an Xbox One S from somebody selling it online. It came in the original box, no scratches, great condition, two controllers, and a power cord. I plug it in and turn it on and the console fires right up.

There are no cords to connect the controller (should there be?). And when I put two brand new lithium batteries in... nothing.

Am I missing something? Are there supposed to be cords included, or a very specialized battery for the controllers?

You don't need cords. They should connect wirelessly. Any AA batteries should work. You can try switching the batteries around (positive/negative). For some reason, I don't think there's a diagram on my son's controller (or maybe I'm just blind), so if it doesn't work, I just reverse the batteries.

When you put the batteries in and push the Xbox button in the middle/top of the controller does it light up?

Did you sync them?

You might have to press the bind button on the front of the xbox and the controller to get them to pair

Discard and purchase a PS4

Nope

Nope

If you have a Micro USB cable you could try plugging the controller in to the front USB on the Xbox and see if it recognizes it or turns on.

i think you have to sync them but id imagine they would still light up when you hit the xbox button.
