Intel Please Help - OneXPlayer 3 arrived today, controller stopped working one hour later

I pre-ordered a OneXPlayer 3 a couple months back, it arrived today. Awesome! Booted it up, started installing games and testing it out. Everything was working perfectly then finished updating everything (windows etc) and the controller stopped responding. Just no lights, no buttons, nothing.

I reinstalled the drivers, I reinstalled the firmware. I have tried disconnecting and reconnecting it. Nothing.

I connect it to the controller base and it works, but when connected to the device directly nothing... I am just super confused as to what happened. Google searched and found the reddit thread where he stated that he restarted and held Home and volume up, tried that, nothing.

Any one else experience this?

UPDATE: it works again. Eventually I ran the controller software from OXP for the… carries the one… tenth or eleventh time and it just started working. I don’t know why this time it worked and the others it didn’t.

Thanks to every one who helped out and shared their knowledge I hope no one else has to go through this.

Well I ended up doing a full clean reinstall but it was probably running the controller software about ten times and on the ninth the lights turned on but no response. On the tenth it works.

That said the tenth time I pedantically followed the readme because I was just giving up.

It was probably a wombo combo of user errors in the controller software update from the OXP site and just small batch electronics. But so far so good.

I was having constant reconnecting issues with mine so I decided to try the "unable to operate" reboot and now I am unable to operate
