Xbox wireless controller not binding

Hello!

The controller won't bind to the adapter

If the binding instructions are not working, try the following solutions:

• Ensure you're within range (6 meters or less) of the adapter and it's in line of sight to the controller.
• If you have an Xbox controller, try rebinding your controller to the console by pressing the Connect button on the console, and then the Connect button on the controller. The LEDs will flash and become solid when the binding is successful. If your controller
  does bind, you have isolated the issue to the Wireless Adapter for Windows. If your controller does not bind to your console, see Set
  up the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows.
• Unplug your adapter, reboot your device, and then plug it back in (to another port if possible), and try again.

You don't need to plug the reciever from the set into your Xbox 360 console (in fact the reciever wouldn't work on the console).

Instead, simply bind the controller itself to your console directly, as per
the instructions that Taidara linked.

Only the PC will need the wireless reciever.

If you wish to use the controller on the PC again, you'll have to bind the controller with the wireless reciever on your PC again, by pressing the button on the wireless reciever, and the bind button on the controller.

OK I'll try binding it. Thanks guys!

1.Push the "Reset" button on the system to recalibrate the controller and reset the control stick to the neutral (center) position. Do not touch the control stick.

2 Alternately, press the "X", "Y" and "Start/Pause" buttons simultaneously for three seconds during gameplay, making sure to not touch the control stick.

3 Unplug the controller and re-insert it while the system is on.

4 Insert another controller in the same port. If the problem disappears, you know the problem is with the controller, in which case it may need to be repaired.
