I have been having the same issue. It keeps disconnecting. I have tried taking out the battery, changing the battery, repairing. The only other thing I haven’t tried is a factory reset. I wonder if that will help. At this point, I’m a little upset because I haven’t been able to use it properly since I got it.

Hey there, @gtgirl79.2023. We can definitely understand how concerning it would be for your left controller to continuously disconnect as you've described here, and we'd be glad to help out however we can! When you removed the batteries, did you leave them out for at least 15 minutes? If not, give that a try as it will reset the controllers and could help fix this issue. If that doesn't help, a factory reset wouldn't be a bad idea. We'll leave the steps for a factory reset below just in case they're needed. Let us know how the troubleshooting turns out! 

 

From the Headset:
 

  • Power off the headset.
  • Press and hold volume down & Power.
  • This will boot into the USB Update Mode menu.
  • Press volume button to move selection, press power button to make the selection.
  • Navigate to Factory Reset and press the Power button.
  • The device should now begin the Factory Reset process.

We'll be looking forward to hearing back from you!
