None of the lights in the ring light up and the controlers wont sync.

Yes, the 360 runs and displays the dashboard on the TV. But, the light in the ring does not light and the controllers do not sync. Plus I bought another new controller and it wouldn't sync either. any ideas? Yes, the 360 runs and displays the dashboard on the TV.

I have the same problem! I was in the middle of a game and my batteries died. I changed the batteries and turned the controller back on and it stopped being in sync. I tried hitting the sync button on the controller and the 360 but it didn't work. I even tried a second controller but it did the same thing. The lights on the 360 come on, the sync lights spin around at the same time as the lights on the controller. Then they start to flash like they've found each other. The flashing on the controller and 360 start out flashing in sync but after a few flashes you can tell they're a few seconds apart and then it goes back to not being in sync. I have the same problem!

I bought my xbox360, a pro 60gb, yesterday and plugged it in today, I played with it this morning but as I get home from work and tries to turn it on, I get no lights flashing but the console starts anyway greeting me with the new dashboard, but I can't sync my controller! This really pisses me of because I just bought it. So do I have to turn it in or should I just send it microsoft to get it repaired. What is this problem anyway? :S I bought my xbox360, a pro 60gb, yesterday and plugged it in today, I played with it this morning but as I get home from work and tries to turn it on, I get no lights flashing but the console starts anyway greeting me with the new dashboard, but I can't sync my controller!

I have a similar problem, my game starts, drive opens, everything but the light around the power button where the rings of death would otherwise show up. My Xbox's controllers will connect just fine, however, when I turn my console off, the controllers stays on? Is it just the Ring of Light Board? But why won't the controller turn off when I turn the console off?

Well, this is our THIRD xbox 360 in TWO YEARS!! When we turned it on there are no lights at all (no green ring etc.) but it played a game as long as it was a one player game w/ controller plugged in. When we tried multi player such as Rock Band it will not connect any except the microphone (the only one that actually plugs in). First XBox360 just ate games when it actually decided to read them, second one didn't last 6 months...that one just went kerplunk out of the blue, no power at all even though power source lights up fine. I spent hours and hours on the phone with microsoft 'help' trying to get the first two taken care of (all to no avail btw), I just can't bring myself to sit on the phone with them again for hours on end!

my console shows no picture or sound and when i try to sync the controllers the lights on the controllers spin but there is no light on the console.
it actually worked ten minutes before this then it blanked out and turned off once i tried to go online.

My xbox 360 ring of light will not light up, but the console works just fine. I have one wired controller that works fine but about 2 days ago i purchased Guitar Hero World Tour and last night i tried to play it and the only thing i could do was sing. The wireless drum set and guitar will not sync to my xbox. I'm wondering if it has something to do with the ROL not lighting up. Any help? I am furious after spending so much money and not being able to play. My xbox 360 ring of light will not light up, but the console works just fine.

This is the second Xbox 360 I've gotten back from Microsoft after the RROD issue. I had wireless controllers, and they would not sync up to the latest system (could get the spinning sync lights on the controllers by pressing the small white sync button, but could not get the spinning sync lights on the console when pressing the sync button on console). I just hooked up the controllers via the cable and after that, they would sync wirelessly. Didn't think much of it until I purcased Rockband 2. Same issue, but there is not any way to hook up the guitar or drums via cable so they can be initially recognized. There does not seem to be any way to command the console to start sync via software. The console button does click, so I know it's operating the microswitch, but it still may be malfunctioning (and may have always been like this from the factory). Does anyone know of a way / mod that would allow me to command the console to go into sync mode via software, button combos, etc.?

does your 360 actually start up a game. if it doesn't then you're lights are probably bad and you have the ring of death (vid card, easy fix or return it under warrenty...yes you still have the warrenty, for the ring of death its lifetime).

if it does start up then try to sync the controller the way you're supposed to. click the 360 button than the controller. if you still don't see any lights flashing turn it in under warrenty does your 360 actually start up a game. if it doesn't then you're lights are probably bad and you have the ring of death (vid card, easy fix or return it under warrenty...yes you still have the warrenty, for the ring of death its lifetime).
