SOURCE: Tony Hawk ride board is not syncing

Try to change your batteries even if they are full.

First press the Xbox Guide Button (located on the side of the skateboard) until it lights up and starts blinking. Then press the Sync button on the Xbox console so that the front lights start blinking. Now push the sync button on the skateboard (little button that is to the left of the Back button) until it starts flashing. Both the board lights and the console lights will blink twice when they are synced.

Why does my xbox steering wheel just blink green and won;t connect

Your wheel needs to be synced. Press the sync button (it has 3 arrows on it) on the xbox360. Then press and hold the sync button on the wheel (lower right, next to the green light, also has 3 arrows on it), for about 3 seconds, then release. This should get you synced right up. :)

How do i reactivate the wireless controller to my xbox 360

How to Configure an Xbox Controller Fotolia.com"> configure-xbox-controller-800x800.jpg 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.

Why can't my wireless controller find my xbox360? It was working fine a few hrs ago but now it's just blinking. I press both buttons at the same time and I have tried separate times WTF lol

I'm sure you have tried most of these steps but I'm going to list them any way. So we have a complete picture of the trouble shooting process.

1. Sync system first (By pressing the sync button on the system)
2. Right after you hit the sync button on the system, hit the button on the controller

Try replacing the battery's and or rechargeable battery for the controller. Repeat the sync process above.

Try another controller with your xbox or try your controller with a different xbox. Repeat sync process above.

If another controller works with your system than that would indicate that there is an issues with your xbox controller.

If your controller works with another xbox and no other controllers work with your xbox than there is a issue with your console.

For issues related to the xbox I would suggest contact xbox directly by calling 1800 my xbox.

I hope the info listed above has helped in some way.
If possible please rate this solution.

I can't connect my Xbox360 Controller with console. Even I had used the connect button on both console and controller. and when I tried it on another Xbox nearby, It use properly. So I guess the problem...

Have you tried more than 1 controller on the console?
Have you tried connecting it to the USB port via play n charge?

In some cases, the following part goes bad. It's the power button, but it also includes the receiver for the wireless controllers. When you hit Sync, this is the part that the controllers communicate with. It's not very difficult to install as long as you know how to open the XBox 360.

I cant connect my xbox360 or my printer to my cable router

Are you connecting the Xbox via wireless?
Try changing the router wireless authentication to WPA-PSK with TKIP encryption.
XBox and PSP have problems with WEP.

Wireless Controller not connecting to console.

Hey guys,

I've had the same problem today. The controller wouldn't connect no matter what. The strange thing was I could still turn the console on using the controller, but afterwards it wouldn't do anything.

Now I think I found a solution, at least for my case. All I did was to remove the HDD (that thing on top of the console) and put it back in. Then I started the console again using the controller and it was instantly connected.:)

Now I just hope it stays this way.;)
