hey Brian,, well you can try this..1.) remove the battery from it,2.) remove all the screws so the the control opens up,3.) use a hair dryer, paper towels etc and dry it up as best as you could. use the hair dryer to finish of the job.4.) re assemble and re connect the controller using the connect button.

sorry dude buy a new one

Controller thumb sticks may be worn/dirty and are providing unwanted input. Search you tube for Controller Cleaning instructions - an easy fix, I've done many times.

Go to the Game options. There is usually a menu items to enter codes.

check the coils on both the battery pack and controller for any battery corrosion (white powdery paste) if you see any corrosion on the pack, buy a new pack, if you find some on the controller, you can try to scrape it off but it might be time to buy a new controller. if no corrosion is sighted at all you can get into the controller with a special tool, there you can make sure everything is connected in the right place, look on youtube for a video on how it should look.

It sounds like the same bugs in the system that the old Xbox, and the 360 had to deal with. They use to tell you not to press a button while the game loaded, or the game will think that the button is at (0). I would contact Microsoft and ask them what you should do directly. This issue could be cause for opening a recall on the controllers. Good luck.

Have you tried the sync/pair buttons on both the controller AND the 360? (be sure to hold the buttons until the lights spin)

Possible problem,is in the wire connecting the controller to the consol...thanks..Dods

so tell the ppl that u don't like what what the CONTROLLERS and u want new ones ARE U GOING TO SEE THEM IN PERSON

I hate to say this but it may be time for a new xbox remote.

If you have a charge cable, connect that before you start the console, and make sure the proper input is on the TV. The cable should allow it to connect faster, though it\'s not always full-proof. I had this issue also (and still sometimes do) I bought a can of air, and cleaned the entire xbox, since dust can be electrically charged it can technically cause interference. (which is pretty unlikely though) then I disconnected all controllers and headsets and re-set their connection with the console. In addition, any receivers, microwaves or cell phones near your control or xbox can disrupt the signal, including metal and other electronic devices. So try as best you can to keep the area clear of those things. I am sorry it\'s not a perfect answer, but I hope that it helps you somewhat. I know how much of a pain it can be waiting for your controls to connect.Good Luck Sc Carl Storm (X-Box GT)

I'm afraid I've had the same problem and I can shed a little light on it.

I've tried to fix this but to no avail. I have even transplanted the whole analog stick unit with one from a working controller to see if it will work but I have the same problem.

So, my conclusion the problem is not with the stick itself, but with the microcontroller inside the pad which takes the info from the stick.

I took the analog unit out, and plugged the pad into the computer without it , but STILL the vertical axis on the right stick was pushing up even though there was no input from a stick. It seems to be a fault with the pad, not the analog stick.

after you press the button on your controller , also press the button on your xbox , it is present somewhere close to the power button , usually round , its a connect button it will then detect your controller :)

loose battery pack or paddle doesn't fit with it, it does sound wierd but it has happened to me before
