Do you have the rechargeable Batteries? If so they do wear down after so long or over charging them will destroy the batteries as well. But if your using the AA batteries then it should still work and maybe just needs to be re-synced to your xbox. If that is the case then you push the top small button that says connect on the link I pasted and then the button on the xbox. If you have new xbox its by the lil door on the front and if you have the old one its next to the memory slots. hope this helps.

SOURCE: xbox 360 wireless controller not connecting.

it sounds like your controller keeps losing sync with the 360.

- turn them both off
- turn on the 360 with the power button on the console
- wait for it to start up, then press the sync button next to the usb flap on front.
- then press the sync button on the controller (by the recharge connection slot)

That should reset it.

SOURCE: Xbox 360 Controller - no power

ok the reason why the contoller just stop working is because microsoft has built all there x boxs and xbox contorlers to self destruct the have put in a little power diode like device so after so it is used for a preset period of time they stuff up that is why they will replace them out of warranty and this is not good enought i have a contact at microsoft and the reason why they put this in is becasue all the wireless devices use 2.4ghz wich is a really high freq so the only diode they could get to fit and make the circut work for this is this one wich means it is not designed for ongoing transmitting and reciving so there is nothing to do when it stop its burnt out another reason why xbox should have gone bluetooth aka ps3

SOURCE: Xbox wireless controller won't work

There is a small round button located on the Xbox next to the second memory card slot "slot B" push that to search for the controller. At the the same time there is a small round button located at the top of the controller next to the cord's slot in the middle, push this as well. Both the Xbox and controller should start flashing in a circle then they will start blinking together indicating they are linked. If you have a cord for the controller you can simply plug in the cord and it will automatically link, eliminating the steps above.

When I press the xbox guide button to connect to the xbox, four green lights flash continuously, and don't stop until I take out the batteries. I've tried many of the solutions off of the xbox website, but...

First things first try resyncing the controller to the xbox. It isn't finding the controller.
Next take the batteries and replace them. If you have other bluetooth or wireless devices try turning them of to make sure they aren't interfering. It is also possible the control broke and needs to be replaced.

Blinking power light will not stop

I think you only have two options here.  1. Change the batteries or 2. hit the small white button on the top of the controller between the triggers and also hit the small circular button on the xbox to the right of the memory slots.

Guitar Hero Flashing Sensor Lights

Hi there,

Im guessing due to needing batteries that your Guitar is the Wireless type ?!

Have you correctly Synchronised your Xbox 360 with the Guitar controller ?

to do this, Turn on the Xbox and Guitar press the round "sync" button on the bottom of the guitar, next to its Ethernet port, and also press the small round sync button on the Xbox 360 (located to the left of the memory slots on the front face) at the same time, the rings of light on both the Xbox and the guitar will Turn in a clockwise motion letting you know they are synching, after that the Xbox will assign the guitar to a controller slot. then it should work.

If this doesn't work then im afraid your guitar may have a faulty wireless chip, which would require you to get a replacement.

hope it gets sorted !

Wireless xbox 360 controller

Hey Pete,

Xbox 360 controllers do not have that problem very often and you know what happens to me sometimes. I change the batteries and the controller still doesn't turn on. Turns out the batteries that i replaced had no juice on it. Make sure you are using the right kind of batteries too meaning don't cheap out and use the ones you get at 99c stores or anything like that. Those will work by the way they will not last more two days. Buy new batteries.
