I bought a used wireless guitar and have no idea how to sync it to the receiver. I don't know what model it is, but it's black with a red and yellow and orange face. There is no off/on switch on it. All I am getting is blinking green light on the reciever and blinking red light on the guitar.

SOURCE: Guitar not connecting

Try turning off your guitar and pushing and holding the button on the receiver in for 5 to 10 secs. Turn on guitar and they should be sync'd. If that doesn't work, turn off PS2 disconnect from power supply for a minute or so, plug everything back in and sync the receiver and the guitar again.

SOURCE: Receiver will not turn on for wireless guitar

I have torn 2 of these receivers apart and have ohm'd them out and found that the manufacturing process to put them together is very sub par.

On the two I had Capacitor c3 was off the board (smd). This is NOT a repairable problem if you don't have the low heat soldering equipment. Besides, you might correct one problem and find you have others because of the forceful procedures you have to do to get it apart.

Unfortunately the only thing you can do is buy a replacement (available at Red Octane's site[19.99]) or take a chance on EBAY sellers that claim to have the item [9.99].

Also, if you have a lot of time on your hands it is possible to hard wire the device (I do not have the pinouts). Pinouts should be online as I have seen several articles on it.

Hopefully I have given you some insight.

Hi,

Have a look at these and give them a go, I think most of them are the same but I'll include them anyway:

PS2 Guitar sync insturctions

PS2 Guitar hero III sync insructions

you will need to bring that up with the manufacture, or you might find one cheaper on ebay or craigs list
