My xbox 360 wired controller does not turn on when i turn on the xbox. It doesnt have any signs of damage and it was working 2 days ago. Last night it messed up however and today it still doesnt work. What should i do?
I bought it a year ago from gamestop
Try both usb ports on the xbox, if it still does not turn on, try a mp3 player or something, if you get power to that then get a new controller.
Try taking out the batteries and then cleaning the inside. Then put in new betteries and make sure everything is plugged in and secure correctly.
If you still have the reciet,trade it in for a knew one.
Hold down the symbol button in the middle
Get a new one

i had the same problem, and is a easy fix, turn on your console, dont need the controller on, and hold the sync button for approx 30 seconds, then turn the console off, take out the power lead from the console and then remove it from your mains, wait about 1-2 minuts then plug it up and switch on the console, first sync the xbox then the controller, and this should work, if it dosent try xbox support their number is on xbox.com

If you or someone you know are mechanically inclined, you can take it apart and clean EVERYTHING with rubbing alcohol and some cotton swabs. Use canned air to blow the directional controls out. They are at the base of the joysticks. A tiny amount of water inside these will create all kinds of problems. Don't pull anything too hard. There are some thin connectors inside.

I have a problem somewhat related to this. I bought a wired controller, but it won't sync with the xbox even after trying all three USB ports.
i have a wired 360 controller that i literally watched the light ring go out(on the controller). i restarted the system and no lights lit up after that (on the controller) in any usb port on my 360. this sucks,new controller from target(oem xbox360 controller)not a cheap knock off!
Does the red rings on the front indicate anything or does it not even get that far?
