Windows 10: Gamepad has no power

Hi,

I will sum up the problem chronologically.


1 Gamepad vibration randomly stops to work while playing. If I reconnect the gamepad, the vibration works again.

2 Few weeks after, the gamepad suddenly stops to have power no power light on the gamepad. The gamepad is totally unusable.


Conditions:

- The problem occurs on two different models of gamepad. Both are considered as Xbox 360 pad by Windows 10.

- My VR headset works well. It's an Oculus Rift CV1 with 3 sensors.

- Wifi via USB works well.

- My keyboard and my wireless mouse are working well.

:)

 

Help me guys... My redgear pro wired gamepad is not connecting

Hello
MeenaBoy,

Usually, this happens when the gamepad is not being recognized by your laptop anymore. To assist you with your concern, I would like to know the following:

• What changes have you made prior to this issue?
• What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?
• Have you installed the latest updates for Windows 10?
• What is the current build number of your windows 10 laptop?
• Since it is not showing in the Device Manager, have you check if it is listed under unknown devices?

To check for the latest update for Windows 10, click the
Start button, go to Settings > Update & security > Windows Update then select
Check for updates. The current build of Windows 10 is 17134.228 which was released last August 14. Click the
Start button again, type winver then press
Enter to check the version and build number of your Windows 10 PC.

It's normal for the gamepad to have it's light on since it is still receiving power from the laptop even though it is not recognized.

In the meantime, I suggest you perform these troubleshooting steps to isolate the issue:

1. Try to remove other plug-and-Play devices to make sure that it is not overloaded.
2. Connect the gamepad on a different USB port.
3. Try to adjust the Power Management Settings. Here's how:
   • Right-click Start, and choose Device Manager.
   • Expand the USB Serial Bus controllers.
   • Right-click on the USB Root Hub and choose Properties.
   • Select Power Management.
   • Uncheck the Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.

We will wait for your response regarding this matter.

Gamepad not working in Windows 10

Hello,

I suspect this might be a hardware issue, since your cousin’s gamepad works well on your PC and your gamepad is facing the same issue on your cousin’s PC. So I suggest you to contact the gamepad manufacturer for better assistance.
