Wired xbox360 controller stopped working - flashes and then turns off

DisplayNameAlreadyTaken · Nov 11, 2019

I have a wired Mad Catz "WWE brawler pad" for xbox360, which I used to use with my Windows 10 PC.

After using it for a while without any issues, it suddenly stopped working: I plug it into any of my USB sockets, the X circle flashes once, and then it turns off.

I recently bought a new controller of the same model and after 2 days that it worked the same thing happened!

Is it possible that my USB socket somehow damages these controllers? Or is it just a bad batch or something? Or is it (hopefully?) a software issue which can be fixed?

I'm using a PC, and the controller responds the same way even when connected to another PC.

Since it's made by Mad Catz you might want to contact them.

It could be the usb connecter in the xbox, check it to see if there is anything that looks not right

Anyone else notice their Datel Turbo Fire 2 Controller stop working after the recent Xbox 360 Dashboard updates today? Mine turns on for a few seconds and the lights flash like it is handshaking with the system, but then turns off. Does the same thing when
I try the pairing process. It worked just before I updated the system. It's like the XBox is rejecting the connection of the controller.

The Xbox 360 Dashboard Update, is rejecting the Modded Controller, as it has "Turbo Fire" (ie. Rapid Fire) & is classed as a Mod &/or Cheating device...

If you can't play a game, with a Geniune Xbox360 or Equivalent Game Controller, You Have NO Skill...

They are all different brands of wireless controllers. Microsoft to Amazon. NONE will connect. Yes the steps are followed perfectly and variants of the steps.

Press the ON X button. Flashes in a circle. Press the Xbox Connect. It too flashes. Press the small controller sync. Flashes slow down. After less than 1 minute the Xbox stops flashing. Then the controller stops flashing.

Only the one controller that came with it used connects. No other will. Even when I unpair, turn off, and reset the xbox. It will see NO controllers except the when I turn on the one it likes. One and that is it.

These other controllers have NO issues with my PC or Xbox 1. Just the 360.
