Connecting wireless controller

soupslayer36 · Jan 8, 2014

I have encountered a problem connecting my wireless controller to my xbox 360. I have tried turning on and off my console several times and retrying the connection process but it still has not worked. When connecting the lights go from searching to blinking
all at once on both the console and controller but the xbox lights turn off and the conroller lights all keep flashing as if still unconnected. I also have a wired controller that I use so I plugged it in and it works but the single green light on the console
does not come on. Any suggestions? Any help would be appreciated.

Controller will not connect to my Xbox One unless I unplug the power supply.

Try re-connecting the controller by following these instructions:

Soup,

Try un-plugging it when you re-boot,

or kill the power strip.

Worked for my new xbox one.

dave, i did, i just wanted to post somewhere where someone having the same problem might find it.

i didn't want to find a solution and then just leave someone else hanging out to dry.

if your controller was working fine, then started not connecting,

try killing the power-strip, or un-plugging.

Hey. I am also having trouble with my Xbox 360 controller. It isn't connecting when I try to use it. And do you mean to unplug my Xbox 360 E from my power strip when you say, "Killing the power strip"?

Hi and Sulute

sorry to hear.

If this controller was previously connected to the console but is no longer able to connect, you should repeat the connection process using the console’s connect button.

For info on how to connect your wireless controller to an Xbox One, Xbox One S, or Xbox One X, see

Connect a wireless Xbox One controller to your console.

If this does not help try "Troubleshoot your Xbox One wireless controller"

Hope this helps

Your controller cannot wireless connect the console?

or your controller cannot power on?

If your controller cannot power on,

You can try to usb connect, If work, this maybe your batteries problem,

If not work too, you need get the new controller or fix it.

If you cannot wireless connect,

you can try use other controller wireless connect the console,

If can other controller wireless connect is not work too,

this is your console problem,

else, controller problem.

If you have xbox controller wireless adapter for windows,

you can try it

The Play and Charge kit doesn't allow a wireless controller to connect to a PC as a game pad. You'll need the wireless gaming receiver for a wireless controller to connect.

The Xbox One does not support bluetooth. It uses a wireless or wired connection to connect the controllers & headset to the console. Have a look at this support article, it might help you reconnect.
