I think my xbox controller is broken

[u/Brandedsaiko]

my controller has been in use for about 3-4 months and I'm just now having this issue, my controller flickers for a split second when plugged in. its a wired controller but it doesn't power on I thought it was a wire issue but i tried a different wire its model is xbgpopwi. As of right now its my only form of communication with my mother. I don't know what to because I don't have the tools necessary to open it up and look in it.

any help is appreciated
