Xbox Fam,, the fix is EASY, WAAAAY easier than any other complicated fix. RESET YOUR XBOX BY HOLDING THE POWER OFF/ON BUTTON FOR 15 SECONDS... If this does not work than do it again and unplug the Xbox360 cords from console for20-30 seconds. This Sync issue happens to me to this very day in 2024. Wife is playing Drago Age Origins & Singularity.
However, good job on the video. I do agree that the cause of these issues is usually electrical interference, or a short of some sort, either somewhere in the grounding, or in the actual RF/ring of light circuit board itself. I have had many controllers/units that simply would NOT connect wirelessly, thankfully as soon as the "play and charge" cable is connected, the controller will re-sync with the unit and, once done, should not need to be re-sync'd unless you connect it to another console.
Thank you for sharing this. In our case, it turned out to be an earthing issue. Your video helped us figure out the problem. Thank you again. And don't worry about the carpet. I'm not sure what carpet some folks were expecting to see, but it certainly didn't seem to be the focal point or the purpose of the video, lol. Thank you again for your time.
My controllers wouldn't sync either. On the 360 s I got them synced by holding down the sync buttons on both the controller and the sync button on the console at the same time. There is a button on the front of the console.
Adding another thanks- it was definitely earthing (whatever that means)- I turned my unit sideways and voila, fixed. Gotta love a quality $400 machine that is easily knocked out of sync by the subtle vibrations of the earth
I can't believe I didn't check the console last year after I applied fresh thermal paste. When I reassembling the 360 Slim Console, I forgot to tighten 4 of the 5 Black Screws that hold the bottom plastic panel to the top metal bracket panel. So here's what the problem was. When you would try to sync the controller to the console, the sync button on the face would bottom out before it could hit the small on/off sync button on the logic board. I tightened the screws & the front sync button was lined up perfect with the logic board. Man I felt dumb there man... But glad I figured it out....
I have done everything this video suggested and yet my controller will not connect to my xbox. I have even went as far as what some videos suggested, putting another game into the console. It worked the first time but months later (now) my xbox refuses to connect even when i try that. I have no clue what the problem is at all.
my xbox wont spin u know when u try to connect ur controller ur xbox and controller light spin and my xbox light circle thing doesnt spin? any help or advise
same here i was playing with Dvd tray not letting it close all the way by a hair let me boot up but not exactly sure why and lights on control and Xbox worked for me a few times
THANK THE LORD!!!!! Thank you for these tips they REALLY helped and it connected when I applied pressure to the top and bottom... RATED - COMMENTED - SUBSCRIBED
I've recently had problems with connecting my controller to a wireless adapter on my computer. It in fact connects just fine, but it acts as if it was the mouse for some strange reason, which makes it incompatible with my games.
You can disassemble the 360 without a master key. I've done it many times with just a small screwdriver while gradually applying pressure to the case corner to pry it open. Never damaged any of the locking points.
I got lucky and got a silver remote to the xbox 360 slim and it's been flashing for about an hour now so I went on the internet and looked for a while.. 1 week later I find this. Thank you
Well despite some of the rude comments here, your video helped me fix my connection issues. Just a simple problem of cleaning under the faceplate and hard drive. Thanks!
After performing an RGH 3 modification on an Xbox 360 Slim, controllers only work when held very close (~30 cm) to the console. At any greater distance, they lose the connection, and the Xbox logo light on the controller blinks. We’ve tested three different controllers, all with the same result. What could be the issue?
Your are a life saver I almost broke my controller it wasn't connecting and I tried three different controllers and battery packs so I tried the DVD method and it worked.
the window and ir receiver is for the dvd remote. the board with the 4 led lights is the controller receiver. it probably has broken solder joints and might need replacing. wouldn't recommend pressing on capacitors. you could brake the seal or short them out.
I figured the controller board was the issue but thanks to the eraser trick my 360 has worked fine for one year now. If it break again I'll just resolder all the points and check the tracks for breaks. I included the 'blowing down the hole' trick because it actually works; no idea why but it worked for me a few times.
lifeschool My xbox wont connect to the tv at all through an hdmi chord or the avi chord and the controller will not connect to the xbox at all. I have tried all possible solutions and still haven't gotten anywhere with it. removing memory drive, wiggling disc tray, unplugging and plugging in all wires (including controlers) and all the above ideal solutions I have looked up. The last thing I have yet to do is call up MS. Any ideas before I do?
Still having this issue but oddly enough? I put one of my games and it didn't read as a game but as a DVD so I went into the dvd player. And after I exited out of it, my controller connected.
not working... my controller just wont sync at all and i really need a way to fix it because i have a blank screen on my tv and i need to reset it with my controller (y + rt) PLS HELP ITS SO FRUSTRATING
Your other controllers could possibly be connected to another source that is permanent. Which if its permanent, theres no way to fix it unless you recable the controller, or just buy a new one. Sorry.
i just installed modded rol and when i put my xbox back together i observed that my controller is not working neither the rol except when i press the sync button. i thought i broke my chip and lost all hopes of fixing it but when you told that there might be earthing between the circuit, i opened my xbox and saw that i have soldiered two joints together so i took my soldering iron and separated those two joints that was causing this issue. thanks
I'm having a problem that isn't really like this but it is, it won't give me any options at all to connect to wireless networks and to configure them and when I click Wireless it says I need a Wireless adapter, please help!
You need to plug in a small wifi wireless gizmo into a usb on the xbox to get the wireless signal. If you google '360 wireless adapter' you will see various small widgets which will NOT work. You must buy genuine 360 adapter. Tbh its quicker and better to buy a long cat 5 lead and use a wired link.
Hi, I have a problem, every time I put on my xbox 360, the light doesn't come on and it says something about insufficient ventilation even though I cleaned it thoroughly, when I want to connect my controller, it just keeps flashing and it doesn't want to connect, I press sync on my xbox and controller but they wont work, PLEASE HELP ME!!!😥🥺
Im not an expert. Search for X-clamps, as you might need to attach one to make it work. I bought an X-clamp and fan combo but never bothered to fit it.
I think the problem is my controller, I recently bought a wireless gaming receiver and it wouldn't connect with my controller, I just tried to play on my xbox and now I can't seem to connect with my XboX either. Did my receiver somehow mess up my controller? I have two and neither work on any device. I've switched batteries and battery packs and nothing works.
I have a custom gold casing for my controller that i bought on eBay. The gold coating is causing bad connection. Do you know if there or any areas i need to remove gold coating to make it more functional as that it is stylish.
If any of these aren't working just put your controller about 2 inches away from the console and sync button on the controller and the console at the same time.
Mine wasn't working and I tried everything. I tried connecting the controller to the Xbox and it did the continuous blinking after the lights synced on the xbox and controller. I then turned off the Xbox and tried to turn it on from the controller. The Xbox turned on and then I pressed sync again and the controllers connected.
I broke my other controller, ( joy stick) so I got a used one for a xbox 360. I have the slim. My original controller connects, no problem. but the white one will not sync. Any help. as this issue is not covered anywhere.
Heres another reason to add: Mine failed to connect because the HDMI was not properly connected to the TV. The controller was communicating with the console but after trying to connect, all 4 circular lights would just flash slowly, changing batteries, etc did nothing. When the HDMI was reconnected, all worked OK. AND ANOTHER: Make sure the controller and console are PAIRED or Synced using the buttons on the controller and console.
Dude! This was what I was looking for! I recently added an HDMI switch to my TV. It has an HDMI in to the TV and 3 HDMI outs essentially increasing the number of HDMI ports available on my television. There is a button that switches between port 1, 2 and 3. The xbox is plugged into port 2. Whenever a device that is plugged into this switch is activated, the switch defaults to port one. You have to push the button to choose port 2 or 3. I had no idea that the console would not communicate with the remote if it did not sense an HDMI connection. When I read your reply I knew right away because I just started using the switch yesterday. Thanks!
the controller only blinks twice when I press the big button. Nothing seems to respond after that, even syncing from console, or small sync button. Typical Microsoft. Next machine will be a PlayStation.
Dude, take out the little back of the controller with the battery, there will be a small metal plate (tiny) sticking up, you need to fiddle woth that to get it to work, and atlease xbox controllers don't break as easy as the playstation controller
Hmm. I pressed power button to turn console off but it restarted. The controller turned off by itself. When I pressed the guide button on controller, it synced as though nothing had gone wrong. I guess try cycling the power first. Weird.
hello well look i have 2 controllers one is connected normally even if i resync it ..it ll connect in a second the other one wont connect at all .. keeps flashing and thats it .. so i assume the prob is from the controller itself ??? since the other one works perfectly ..please help thnk u
my xbox was working and controler was working but i try replace dvd drive now xbox will not sunc with my controler so put in the old dvd drive still same problem any fixes???
LoneWolve | Hacker Hunter no went out got xbox one i guess the dvd have key code once you take it off the board and try add new dvd messes up the key on the board will never work agien
As a suggestion, if the button on the console works but the controller doesnt, then the controller is likely bad and needs replacing. As soon as you press the sync button on either device, the LED should go around in a circle to show it is searching. It isnt uncommon for controllers to break like this, especially if you consider many get dropped on the floor and get stood on (I stood on mine today) sometimes, and get sweated on, and they arnt as robust as a PS2 controller.
ha-ha, yes, my controller is very dirty. Thats how it came when I bought the machine second hand, and as I knew it would get into that state again I didn't bother cleaning it. I sweat a lot when using controllers, especially old type joysticks.
I might actually have the same problem but I'm not sure this is my problem I'm using my xbox with a battery pack in my controller and a charger then out of no where it says controller disconnected I check the charger only to find that the charger is completely fine then I tried pushing the button in the middle of the controller which fixes it until the whole thing happens again I do what I did everything I did before but then it happens again and then repeats over and over until I say ok fuck this and then I turn my Xbox off then I used brothers controller but the same thing happened and so since then I have never used my xbox my only guess to the problem is that I used my xbox in a area that doesn't have really good internet or cellphone service.
Guys I tried everything that was said in the videos but still my xbox doesn't connect. I also took it to some shops and they said they don't work on that console model. I even tried searching for the connecting cable but that's unavailable in all the shops and amazon. If any of the viewers has any ideas, pls do reply, it would be of great help. Thank you
I NEED HELP! I've tried changing batteries, used different controller, used play and charge kit but it keeps flashing steadily! I press the sync button on the controller and it starts spinning, then I press it on the xbox and it just stops spinning and then flashes steadily! PLEASE HELP!
Thanks was at a loss as to why could not get new (ish) remote to connect to Xbox. Gonna subscribe just in case we need further help...we came late to Xbox 360 as daughter (10th birthday present) got hooked on male friends xboxes and i rather they came here then she go where I cant see lol
I know every problem will be different but it might be best to invest in a wired controller. I have to X-Boxes which stopped responding to my wireless controllers. I only got them to work again after testing them with a wired controller.
Not trying to be rude, but the "sensor" you wiped clean on the left side of the xbox has absolutely nothing to do with the controllers. That is the Infrared receiver for the media remote. The receiver for the wireless controllers is the circuit board with the "ring of light" on it on the front right of the xbox. That is the one and only part inside the xbox that is responsible for communication between the controllers and the CPU itself.
thanx man it worked good advice e other ones didnt work for me but the cable one the one that you said that you need to check if all your cablles are connected good you said and i checked but one of them was wabaly so i fixed it and it worked thx man
BRUH SIX YEARS LATER AND IM HERE TO SAY TTTHHHAANNKK YYYOOOUUU

MAKE SURE YOUR CONSOLE IS CONNECTED TO YOUR TV.
Your system's controller will not sync if your console isn't plugged into the TV.
Omg this was me, turned it on and now it works. Thank you so much. I am an idiot
Most helpful comment ever...stay blessed sir
Travis Garman you saved my life. Thank you

@Gatlin Scott stop spamming
@Maverick Jesse stop spamming
1:40 I did that strategy and it worked like a charm! Thank you!
You don't fucking know how much i respect you for putting the tips in the desc.
The light on the controlled won't even come on... I've tried changing batteries, using another controller... It won't work
its been three years now but im sure its because of the battery pack
like the box
Same problem with mine, check the terminals for the battery they get corroded and once u scrape the corrosion off it'll work.. at least mine did
My controllers wouldn't sync either. On the 360 s
I got them synced by holding down the sync buttons on both the controller and the sync button on the console at the same time. There is a button on the front of the console.

You don't need a key not at all, you just need some sort of point or needle to push the tabs individually and they just pop and it's really easy
hahha
Thanks so much! Fixed my controller wishing 30 seconds of the video
my xbox wont spin u know when u try to connect ur controller ur xbox and controller light spin and my xbox light circle thing doesnt spin? any help or advise
same here i was playing with Dvd tray not letting it close all the way by a hair let me boot up but not exactly sure why and lights on control and Xbox worked for me a few times
1st suggestion worked. You da man, saved our night!
1st time playing video games in 12 years

Same. I had to buy a wired one.
Father Louis Williams Suga Adams the Third did you try unplugging the power (the one that’s plugged into the Xbox) and plugging it back in?
Cody same

This video just saved my life, I was about to take a sledgehammer to my controller!

Useless nothing changed on mine
It’s not my controller that isn’t working, it’s the console that won’t sync. Will buying a charger cable do the trick?
the controller only blinks twice when I press the big button. Nothing seems to respond after that, even syncing from console, or small sync button. Typical Microsoft. Next machine will be a PlayStation.
Dude, take out the little back of the controller with the battery, there will be a small metal plate (tiny) sticking up, you need to fiddle woth that to get it to work, and atlease xbox controllers don't break as easy as the playstation controller
Why is console working but not the power buttons light of the console and the controller wont connect it keep flashing 😢
Make sure your at the xbox dashboard before trying to sync the controller its looking for a display input first.
Awesome! I have being trying to figure out how to reconnect my controller for weeks now. Step three did it. Thank you.
02 Feb 2016
Hmm. I pressed power button to turn console off but it restarted. The controller turned off by itself. When I pressed the guide button on controller, it synced as though nothing had gone wrong. I guess try cycling the power first. Weird.
Just a friendly tip and my two cents worth of advice. Good luck to everyone suffering with this problem.
my controler won't start without usb when i connect it 4 lights will flash and usb's light flashes and it continues
Thanks, sat here thinking my controller was not working forgot about the button next to the power on console lol

Thank you disc tray being ejected was the issue for me
got mine to work, the hdmi cord was loose. Why does it need that to connect?
hey buddy my controller won't even try to sync I press the button on the front of the contoller but it won't work
As a suggestion, if the button on the console works but the controller doesnt, then the controller is likely bad and needs replacing.

lifeschool I bought it but an hour before it broke lol PlayStation for life XD
This is video which make me happy. Thank you man !
My button broke and went through. I don't know how to fix it.
this doesnt work for me
Thank you so much number 7.worked for me eject the game jiggel dvd push the button on the controlla and now it's working.g
I doubted you but you prevailed. Thank you 🙏🏾
ha-ha, yes, my controller is very dirty. Thats how it came when I bought the machine second hand, and as I knew it would get into that state again I didn't bother cleaning it. I sweat a lot when using controllers, especially old type joysticks.
Always buy the cheap stick on grips jus for sweaty hands. Works great. They r cheap 2 maybe 5 bucks
THANK YOU I HAVE A NEWER VERSION AND IT STILL WORK
Cheers mate, finally I can play my new xmas Xbox games
I might actually have the same problem but I'm not sure this is my problem I'm using my xbox with a battery pack in my controller and a charger then out of no where it says controller disconnected I check the charger only to find that the charger is completely fine then I tried pushing the button in the middle of the controller which fixes it until the whole thing happens again I do what I did everything I did before but then it happens again and then repeats over and over until I say ok fuck this and then I turn my Xbox off then I used brothers controller but the same thing happened and so since then I have never used my xbox my only guess to the problem is that I used my xbox in a area that doesn't have really good internet or cellphone service.
I took the front of my xbox and restarted it and my controller recontected, Thanks.
Thanks man. Don't have to watch full vdo. In min was working
Guys I tried everything that was said in the videos but still my xbox doesn't connect. I also took it to some shops and they said they don't work on that console model. I even tried searching for the connecting cable but that's unavailable in all the shops and amazon. If any of the viewers has any ideas, pls do reply, it would be of great help. Thank you
Used X-box 360s are sold for £20-£40 on ebay. I'd just trade the model.
I NEED HELP! I've tried changing batteries, used different controller, used play and charge kit but it keeps flashing steadily! I press the sync button on the controller and it starts spinning, then I press it on the xbox and it just stops spinning and then flashes steadily! PLEASE HELP!
i really enjoyed your video but no method worked don't know what to do now

I know every problem will be different but it might be best to invest in a wired controller.
I have to X-Boxes which stopped responding to my wireless controllers. I only got them to work again after testing them with a wired controller.
best and most thorough understanding
this video was helpful I was about ready to buy a new controller
OMG DUDE THANKS SOO MUCH YOU HELPED ME
Thanks a ton bro, You saved our night.
Not trying to be rude, but the "sensor" you wiped clean on the left side of the xbox has absolutely nothing to do with the controllers. That is the Infrared receiver for the media remote. The receiver for the wireless controllers is the circuit board with the "ring of light" on it on the front right of the xbox. That is the one and only part inside the xbox that is responsible for communication between the controllers and the CPU itself.
what if I turn on the remote and won't even turn on the xbox
