X-box One Controller works through micro usb, but wont turn on when using wireless dongle?

So I use an Xbox one controller to play some racing and other games, but it can only connect with a micro USB. I purchased the Microsoft branded controller Dongle but the controller wont even turn on or at least the centre button wont blink at all. Any help appreciated.
