Connect button on Slim console not working?

Hi

Have been through recommended procedure and fixes (removal of power, hdmi etc) with no success. Problem seems to be that connector button on console (not controller) doesn't work so not spinning around when pressed etc. Controller does try and sync but not
console.

Is there a fix for this?

Thanks

(First controller already synced and working great)

:)

How to connect a wireless controller to an Xbox 360 console

If you want to connect a wireless controller to your console, follow the steps bellow:

• First, you need to turn on the console.
• Insert the AA batteries into the controller.
• Now you need to turn on your controller by pressing and holding the center Xbox Guide button. You should check the batteries if the controller does not turn on. If it is a rechargeable controller, you’ll have to ensure that it is charged properly.
• After turning on the controller, you need to press and release the connect button on the console.
• You also have to press and release the connect button on the controller within 20 seconds to connect the controller to the console.

Notes

When the controller is connected, the lights surrounding the power button on the console stop flashing.

You are allowed to connect four controllers to a console. Each connected controller is assigned to one of four positions and each position corresponds to a lighted section around the console’s power button and the controller’s Xbox Guide button.

 

one possible workaround is to use a play and charge cable to connect the controller. this will force the sync without pressing the button. otherwise it would require taking apart the console to remove the faceplate to see if the button is broken or not.

 

Thanks. I don't have charge and play controller so will have to dismantle console (not a problem). If the button is gone can they be replaced? I assume this is rare as hardly and vids with this specific problem??

Thanks

 

Hi Limber,

Do not try to dismantle your console, that is against
Xbox Live Terms of Use and
Code of Conduct and may result of getting your console banned from Xbox Live.

Try
this guide on your controller sync issue. And
this one as well.

 

Hi

You are a bit late coming to party, so to speak. Yes, tried all that elementary school stuff initially. I had identified a problem with the console connect switch so had to deal with that. Xbox out of warranty so had to open and found that button behind
faceplate had stuck. Now rectified.

Thanks

 

glad to hear the problem was solved!
