  1. Unable to sync second controller to xbox 360 slim


    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)

    :)

    Old Xbox 360 controller not working on slim

    The old controller work with the Xbox 360 slim. Have you been following these steps to sync your controller?:

    To sync them up, power on the Xbox and the controller. Then push the sync button on the Xbox (small black button next to the USB ports on the front), then push the sync button on the controller (location varies depending on the type of controller). When
    you push the sync button the green light will spin in a circle (on both the Xbox and the controller). If the light doesn’t spin in a circle then it isn’t in sync mode and you might have a problem with the controller.

    I did this with my own Xbox slim and my old controllers so I know it is possible.



    Here is a youtube video of someone showing it work/how to do it:



    Hope it works! Happy gaming!

    Green light wont turn on

    Have you synced the controller to the Xbox 360 system? Turn on the Xbox 360 system and controller, on top of the controller there should be a small button, hold that button. On the White Xbox 360 or Black Xbox 360 elite, there should be a button too, press
    it and your controller should sync up with the Xbox, the controller will confirm this by flashing.

    On the Xbox 360 slim, the button is located inside the USB bay.

    can"t get controller to sync

    To get the controller and console synced, are you pressing both sync buttons on your controller and the Xbox 360?

    The sync button on the controller is the small circular button on the top in between the two bumper buttons (LB/RB) and the small button on the front of the Xbox 360 respectively which should show a symbol similar to the following depending on which way you're
    looking at it: (((

    Of note, I was referencing my Xbox 360 Arcade model as a description as I don't own the new Xbox 360 Slim. So if you do have an Xbox 360 Slim model then the Sync button on the console should be on the front to the right next to the USB ports.

    Once you have pressed both sync buttons then your controller and console should be synced up as both should flash and will show the current position the controller is synced to, such as "Player 1" which is the top left light quadrant on the controller and console.

    If you're still having trouble even after attempting to do that then please come back and explain the issue more. Hopefully this will help you out though.
