SYMPTOMS
When you use your controller, you may experience one or more of the following behaviors:
 * You do not feel any controller vibrations when the controller typically vibrates.
 * The controller vibrates continuously.



CAUSE
One of the following conditions may cause this behavior:
 * One or both of the rumble motors inside the controller are not working correctly.
 * The controller is malfunctioning.

Note Not all games support controller vibration. For games that support controller vibration, you only experience vibration at certain times.



THINGS TO TRY

 * 1) Confirm that the controller is not working correctly. If the controller does not vibrate, locate a situation in a game that you know causes vibration, and then test the controller to determine whether the controller vibrates.
 * 2) Determine whether the behavior is controller-related or console-related. To do this, test a second controller.
 * 3) If the second controller functions correctly, try the first controller again to test if it now functions correctly.
 * 4) If these steps do not resolve the issue, you may have to replace the controller.
