Broken xbox 360 controller (not wireless)

How to Configure an Xbox Controller Fotolia.com"> Configure you Xbox controller.

The Xbox 360 utilizes two types of controllers: wired and wireless. Like most operations on a video game console, configuring a controller requires little effort. You can either plug the controller into a port on the Xbox 360, or sync a wireless controller using the console's built-in controls.
Difficulty:Easy Instructions

1. Wired
   • 1 Connect the controller's cable to the in-line release cord. This cord prevents you from accidentally pulling the Xbox 360 along with your controller during game play.
     
   • 2 Insert the in-line release cord's USB plug into the USB port on the front of the console.
     
   • 3 Turn on the console to activate the controller automatically.
     
   Wireless
   • 1 Insert batteries in your wireless controller, if necessary.
     
   • 2 Hold down the "Guide" button on the controller.
     
   • 3 Push the Xbox 360's "Connect" button, located on the front of the console.
     
   • 4 Push the controller's "Connect" button to sync it with the Xbox 360.

if you think this help please rate me sir thank you so much!!!

Vista has an issue with Xbox 360 controllers, let alone Madcatz copies. I would recommend buying an official wired controller for use with Vista. Alternatively you can you a Wireless Gaming Receiver specially designed for using Wireless Controllers on Windows based PC's.

Sounds like a broken wire to the controller.
Time to replace it.

Have You Tried Moving The Wireless Adaptor

I finally gave up and called the Geek Squad at Best Buy. I took it in for them to look at and after only 5 minutes, the very helpful young man said it was not working properly and suggested I return it and get a new one. So far everything works GREAT!!!!!

i have the same problem im so mad i only have 1 controller and im running out of live

The solution is VERY simple.

There is nothing wrong with your controller OR your xbox.


The battery indicator found when pressing your xbox logo button is temperamental. It might say 2 bars, or 3 or even full battery but this is not a good indicator of a full battery.

The problem IS low batteries - when the batteries become low the vibration function can cause the controller to disconnect. This is happens because the vibration function uses extra battery power.


So basically... Every time your controller vibrates, it disconnects. This occurs when firing a weapon in most games, grenades in COD, landing heavy tricks in Skate 2, the list goes on, you'll find many complaints from people stating their controller disconnects specifically with these events.


The simple solution, turn off the vibration function when this occurs. It'll never happen to you again ^_^

Thumbs this up when it proves correct for you. People will find the solution quicker that way.

The control maybe broke as like on others they go easy you could try buying a new control or even hit the back of the control may help may not. Hope this helps ...

there is prob. a wire blocking the sensor checkit

to activate the second wirless controler you have to press the search button on the xbx360 just below memory unit b, then press the search button on the controler aswell.
