    Controller not connecting to xbox 360


    So I have the newer version of the Xbox 360, the blue 500GB one, and when I first got it everything was fine and worked perfectly. A couple months ago my friend borrowed my controller to use for a second controller to play games on her xbox. Ever since getting
    it back it will not connect to my xbox. I can connect it to my roommates xbox and it works fine, but it won't connect to my xbox. It shouldn't be a problem to connect it to mine as I can use a wired controller perfectly with it and my wireless xbox 360 remote.
    Also my roommates wireless controller was not able to connect to my xbox.

    :)

    Controller not connecting to xbox 360

    Hello,

    I assume the lights on the controller come on when you press the Guide button and the batteries are fresh or charged well.

    I will also assume you know how to sync the controller and console. Some hints here :

    support.xbox.com/.../connecting-game-controllers


    It is obvious the controller works fine as it has been used on two other consoles. You are taking all the right steps. You can try the steps below:

    1. Make sure the line of sight from the controller to console is clear - remove any obstacles

    2. Ensure there is no interference - turn off other consoles, microwaves and remove any cordless phones (land line style)

    3. Try to sync as per xbox instructions

    The best method for forcing a sync for a controller is to use the USB charge cable. These are quite cheap and can be used with a controller even if it has no batteries in it. The idea is to make the wireless controller temporarily a wired controller.
    It forces the console to recognise it.

    If the console cannot recognise it as a wired controller then there is an issue. This may be fixed by clearing the system cache but its not a guarantee.

    1. Remove profile - SETTINGS page (far right from home page), select STORAGE, then find your profile and remove.

    2. While in you hard drive under GAMES & APPS look for any red or yellow icons with incomplete or unknown. Delete them.

    3.Clear System Cache - SETTINGS page, select STORAGE and highlight a drive but don't select it. Press Y and select Clear System Cache. Agree when asked.

    4. Be Patient - turn your console off for a full minute. This assists in resetting the console.

    5. Turn on the console and download your profile - it is the icon next to 'create a profile'. Try again

    Good luck & happy gaming
