Xbox 360 console will not synchronize with wireless remotes and wireless controllers.

I have the core so i just found out a when i tried using it yesterdady. I used my friends wireless controller but it would not work. This concerns me because i am wanting to invest in a wireless controller asap or possibly sell my 360. I voided the warranty by opening my 360 up to fix a problem after the warrranty expired in the past. What can I do? Help!!!!?

Actually most of the suggestions are wrong. I work for microsoft and I bought the Xbox 360 immediately. Just to tell you, take the xbox away from any electrical device (at least 3 metres. Make sure at least 5 hours BE PATEINT! Make sure the xbox is in the upright position and on a solid surface. If this does'nt work you may need to replace the heat baths with a rubber eraser. Hope this helped

The console and controller need to synch. To sync the controller with the console follow the steps below: 1. Turned on the controller 2. Turned on the console 3. Pressed the sync up button on the console 4. Pressed the sync up button on the controller If you have already done that, chances are it is the controller having issues with a different frequency.

By a wireless controller and if it does not work sell the 360 to a private party or to a games store and then buy another one the next day, it may cost you a little cash thought, I'm pretty sure the core is capable of using the wireless controls, or at least it's supposed to be, if you do replace it I highly recomend getting the elite,it'd a little more than the others but its got slightly better hardware, most of the issues from the original 360 are worked out, and its black which looks a lot cooler.

I can't get my remotes to sync with the console.
Connecting a controller to the Xbox 360 is one of those things that should be simple but always ends up confusing and difficult.

Wired is simple; just plug in the controller into a USB slot on the console. It should connect automatically.

For a wireless controller you do the following:
1. Turn on the Xbox 360.
2. Press center Xbox button on 360 controller.
3. Press the small "sync" button on the console.
4. Press the small "sync" button on the controller quickly after step 3.
Of course I never remember the order, so randomly mashing the Xbox button and sync buttons eventually works too. Here's a link to how to sync, but with pictures!

If you're using the Xbox 360 Universal Media remote, I believe it uses an IR (infrared) connection so there is no syncing involved. To use it you just need to point it at the Xbox 360 console (specifically, it's IR receiver). Just make sure the batteries in the remote aren't dead and that the remote is in 360 mode (as opposed to TV mode; just press the "TV" button to toggle modes).

Have second wireless controller xbox 360 does not recognize it .shows up as second person on screen then days plug in controller. never activates
if you have some sort of cable with which you can connect your controller to your console, it is best you try use it.
if you don't, here is what you would do.
1.switch off the console and all it's controllers.
2.differentiate between the two controllers.maybe tag them controller a and b
3.turn on the console again and switch on controller a first, wait and see if it synchronizes properly.
4.turn off controller a and switch on controller b and see if it synchronizes with your console properly.
5.if they both work separately, turn everything off and switch on again and try to use both controllers at the same time.
6.if it repeats the same thing, switch only one controller on and then when you turn on the other one, press the small button in front of the controller close to the right trigger button and also press a button that looks similar to it on the console. this should help you synchronize all the controllers.

Xbox wireless controller lights keeps blinking but
If the ring of light keeps blinking, it means that the remote controller was not connected to a receiver which is the XBox 360 console. Try to press the connect button on the console and the wireless controller to sync them together.

Can I use my XBOX 360 Elite (Black) Remote to play games on my PC? If Yes, What do I need and where can I find it?
Hi,

Are you talking about the controller? Or the media center remote control (similar to a tv remote)?

If you are talking about the controller you need to buy this:

Xbox 360 Wireless Reciever for Windows

and here is a guide:

Thanks

Wireless controller position
Try this:
Under heading "How can I change the screen positions for my wireless controllers?"
http://www.xbox.com/en-US/support/systemuse/xbox360/resources/supportfaq.htm

To reset the screen configuration for an Xbox 360 Wireless Controller:
  1. Turn off your Xbox 360 console and any connected Xbox 360 wireless controllers.

    (To turn off your wireless controller, power down the system and wait for the lights around the controller's Xbox Guide button to disappear.)
  2. Manually turn on your Xbox 360—don't use your controller's Xbox Guide button.
  3. Press the connect button on the front of your console. This is the small button just to the right of (or below, if your console is on its side) the port for Memory Unit B. The lights around the console's power button will flash as the console searches for a wireless controller.
  4. Press and hold the Xbox Guide button to turn on the wireless controller that you want to assign to slot one.
  5. Once the controller is on and the lights are still circling the power button on the console, press your controller's connect button, located just to the right of the charge port.

    When the lights on your controller stop spinning, the wireless controller is configured to slot one and the upper-left quadrant light will glow.
  6. Select the controller you want in slot two and repeat steps 4 and 5. You can configure up to four wireless controllers.
