Xbox controller flashing?

We
- in Xbox
6

So: The batteries of the new xbox Series s controller were almost empty. Since I was in the middle of the game, I used my 'trick' and swapped the batteries in the controller.

So far all good, but after I did this the controller just wouldn't reconnect to the Xbox.

When I switched it on, it began to flash slowly (slowly!) And I couldn't do anything. Then I put it and the xbox in pairing mode (fast blinking), which didn't work either.

Then I got new batteries. Still does not work.

With Xbox controllers, you need to be extra careful how you put them in the battery compartment! Look at the + and - marks on the battery and controller.

Without that it wouldn't even start…

Can it connect btw easy to the laptop. I can't connect my other controller to the Xbox either

How did you do it

I connected my controller to the Xbox via USB. Then I pulled the cable out again.
