Use this guide to replace the USB and Pair button board in your Xbox Series X.

If your Pair button is sticking or isn't clicking, or if the USB port on the front of your Xbox has a loose connection, you may need to replace the USB and Pair button board.

If your controller isn't syncing to your Xbox, make sure the problem isn't with your controller before replacing the board.

Before you begin, completely power down and unplug all cables from your console. Remember to follow general electrostatic discharge (ESD) safety procedures while repairing your console.
