    Controller still not syncing to console.


    Microsoft claims to have fixed this issue but it has never gone away for me. Virtually every time I turn on my console the controller refuses to sync often including when attached via USB. I have the latest controller firmware and that does absolutely nothing. I have tried turning the console on and off a million different ways but to no Avail. I tried connecting the controller to the pc to update the firmware that way and had no change. This has been a issue for me from launch day. I even contacted Microsoft and sent the consul in and they gave me a new one and it's still happening. At this point I am very disappointed and feel like I paid $500 for a big black brick. Is anyone else experiencing this still?

    Dashboard doesn't want to load

    Hello CheckeredMINI,

    Try this:

    Turn off your console.

    Press the Controller sync Button (keep holding it)

    While holding The controller sync button Turn on your console while you still have the sync button held.

    Keep holding the Sync button until you reach dashboard if it lets you reach it..

    My sync button is broken

    You should still be able to sync your controller for the time being as long as you have a usb to connect it to the console and it should sync up.

    xbox sync issues

    [quote user="UR MAN SWEENEY"]my xbox wont sync any controllers not even with the charger wire,[/quote]The Play & Charge cable carries no sync data. It cannot be used to sync a controller, only to provide power to a controller.
    i can turn my xbox on
    with my controller but still doesnt sync.
    Power on the console with the power button and let it finish booting. Then power-on the controller with the Guide button. When the controller's lights start spinning, hit the sync button on the console.
    i
    have noticed that when the green lights spin on the console after pressing the sync button that only three are spinning controller or user two does not light up at all..
    It's possible your controller is damaged in some way and can no longer sync. Try
    to re-pair the controller using the steps provided above.

    Controllers...

    [quote user="NanoTechSoldier"]You need to have the Original controller (From Console), turned off & then try & sync the new second controller...[/quote]There's no requirement to shut down one controller in order to sync a second.



    Out of the pile of consoles I have, one does not sync as quickly as the others when a paired controller's guide button is used to start the console. It still pairs, just takes 5-10 seconds or so.
