Preface
When referring to failure/fault, this can be caused by a multitude of things related to any referred component this could be related to:
- Logic failure i.e. no control signal to component.
- Power failure i.e. no/Insufficient power to component.
- Internal failure i.e. short to ground.
- Other i.e. Mechanical fault like a broken trace or disconnection from pads.
Common Symptoms
Symptom: No vibration
- Low battery voltage
- Disabled in Accessories settings
- Faulty vibration motors
- Faulty motor drivers
- Faulty MCU
Symptom: All face buttons + D-Pad are pressed.
- Faulty L16A chip
- Faulty MCU
Symptom: Low Battery Warning (Using AA batteries)
- No voltage to voltage divider
- Faulty voltage divider to SoC
- Faulty SoC
Symptom: Triggers at 100%
- Faulty trigger hall-sensor
- Faulty SoC
Symptom: No/Intermittent connection when using USB-C Cable
- Faulty USB-C Cable
- Faulty USB-C Port
- Faulty Filters on Data +/- lines
- Faulty SoC
Symptom: Joysticks stuck at 100% after replacement
In some firmware, aftermarket hall effect/TMR causes issues where they error out for whatever reason and causes the sticks to hard pan randomly. Resistors are required to fix this see: Series Controller Joystick Error Fix. If this does not resolve your issue please see list below
- Faulty replacement joystick
- Joystick feedback line shorted to ground (LSX,LSY,RSX,RSY)
- Faulty SoC
Symptom: Xbox Logo flashes constantly, No sync wirelessly
- Faulty connection between MCU board and power board
- Faulty wireless circuit
- Faulty SoC
Symptom: No Power and high pitched whine
- Faulty component shorted to ground, common components are in wireless circuit RFF2 or T2 and caps on 5V to 3.3V converter.
Please feel free to edit where relevant.
