I have the same problem. I don't just have 50 dallors to go spend on another.Can I fix it.I don't know what screw driver I need!!!!Thanks alout....

You have the controller set in "pairing mode." This enables the controller to be paired with the X-Box. Either press the sync button on the X-Box to pair it, or take the batteries out of the controller to clear it.

You must sync the 360 with your controller. Turn on your 360 and your controller. Push the little black button on the front of your console, then hold the little tiny button on the top of your controller for a few seconds. This should sync them.

Ring up xbox support for help or search google to help you

Found a solution! Came here to post it, since I could not find the solution ANYWHERE on the internet...


Using an Xbox 360 controller or any other Xbox 360 peripheral with 95% of USB sound cards or headsets will produce HORRIBLE sound input and output. It sounds like a robot has swallowed and spat back out the waveforms. Even if the 360 peripheral is removed any USB audio devices plugged in after the fact will still sound corrupted until a fresh reboot without the 360 peripheral plugged in.



I believe that the problem is somehow linked to the "generic root hub" driver, which hasn't been updated since 2001, thanks M$.


The solution (pick one of 3):
As long as the 360 peripheral is on it's own internal virtual root hub it will not interfere with other devices. You can force it to use another root hub by doing ONE of the following:
1) Fill up your usb ports with other devices till it shifts to using a secondary root hub, then plug in the 360 peripheral. This could take up to 10 USB things, depending on your motherboard and the maximum devices on each root hub.
2) Use an extra internal PCI-USB card for the 360 peripheral.
3) Use an extra external USB hub for the 360 peripheral.



NOTE: A reboot is usually required to clear up the driver's confusion.

If you're using the AA battery pack, try this.

Use a small screwdriver or other such tool to pry up the metal spring on the back of the battery pack as seen here:


This will give you access to the two small metal prongs underneath. Pry these up as well, as far as you can (see below).


Finally, push the metal spring back down just enough so that a little bump of it appears above the battery pack, like so.


Now power it up and test it out!

you need to push the sync button on the xbox and then on the controller if that doesnt work you controller is faulty

Have you synced it? Try visiting my syncing tip to sync it properly.

If that doesn't work you may have an internal controller error and your best bet is too replace it.

Try pushing the sinc button on the xbox and the Wireless controller and replace Batteries in the controller

Did you press the tiny black button on both console and controll?

all you have to do is thow it into a pool or other kinds of water and then smach it with a hammer then light the remainder of the parts on fier lol

Most likely the controller can't find the signal from your wireless receiver. There should be a white button on the front of the controller that has three wavy bars on it, press that so your controller starts searching for a signal. You should find a white button with the same three bar design on it on the wireless receiver. Press that and the controller should eventually find the receiver. You may have to deviate and try different combination (press the button on the receiver first and then the one on the controller.) Sometimes the wireless controllers are finicky about the signal.

that usually mean the batteries are completly dead.

What do you mean by depress? Please add more details.
