Xbox360 controller connects for 1 second and disconnects

Turn off and disconnect all controllers from the Xbox 360 and disconnect the wireless headsets from the controllers.

Connect the wireless headset to the Xbox 360 using the USB cable. Turn on the wireless headset.

Sync the headset to quadrant 1 by pressing the "Connect" button on the on the Xbox 360. Then press the "Connect" button on the wireless headset for two seconds. Do not continue to press the "Connect" button on the wireless headset, as this will change the
quadrant to which it is connected. If the headset now works without the controllers attached, the problem must be with one of your controllers. If the headset still does not work, then the problem is with the headset.

Try these two things.

1. Remove batteries and disconnect headset

2. Insert batteries

3. Press Xbox button

4. Hold View and Menu buttons together for 10 seconds

5. Controller should power back on

If that does not work...

1. Remove batteries and disconnect headset

2. Connect controller to console with USB cable with no batteries inserted

3. Leave console at home screen and controller plugged into console, let sit for 5 minutes

4. Controller should power back on

Hi there,

To go into 2 player on the Lego games, often all that needs to be done is to connect a second controller to the console, and log a second account into that controller. Disconnecting the controller should bring the game back into a 1-player game.

To save the progress, he can do the same as he would do online. Pause the game, then go to quit and choose the save & quit option.

Control was disconnecting for no reason. Now the Xbox itself connects to live, seconds later it disconnects, then moments later again connects and continues to do this with no imput to the system. Cannot do anything at this point because the malfunctions.
It started with the controller disconnecting. Does anyone have any success stories of these problems being fixed?

Hi there,

if this is happening on a Xbox 360 console then please try the following.

Power the Xbox 360 down, wait until the light on console is off and wait another 30 seconds.

After that disconnect the console from power for at least 2 minutes.

These steps should make sure there is no cache etc left to cause weirdness.

After those 2 minutes reconnect the console to power and power the console on again by holding the Xbox Logo button on the controller.

These steps usually fix weird controller issues on the Xbox 360 console and controllers.

The numbers indicate the player number, so the first controller connected for 'player 1' then the light with the 1 next to it will be on, when a second controller is connected for the second player then the light with 2 will be on. It's to indicate what
controller is connected to which player.
