Registered 16 years agoRight, first controller connects to the 360 fine, but when I try to connect a second controller, nothing happens. I press the big silver X button on the second controller which starts it flashing, and then press the little white button on the console. Controller 1 is registered almost immediately, whilst number 2 sits there flashing. Is it broken? It's barely been used.
*adds to pile of broken MS shit, ie. one rechargeable battery pack, one hard-drive, and 3 360's* - Xerx3s 23 Sep 2007 18:45:26 23,969 posts

Registered 14 years agoYou need to press the little white button to the right of the expansion port on the top of the controller, not the guide button. Click that, then the one on the console. If that doesn't work, keep clicking them until it does. - Xerx3s 23 Sep 2007 18:46:16 23,969 posts

That doesn't connect it, the charge pack lead just supplies power - the controller is still connecting using wireless.
Try connecting it with a charge pack lead.
As everyone else has said, you press the button on the console and the little white button on the top of the controller and they'll sync up no worries. - Agent_Llama 23 Sep 2007 23:13:30 3,691 posts

I wish it were so - it simply won't sync. I've tried the buttons in different orders, nothing. It registers pad 1, and leaves pad 2 with its ring of light spinning. - Xerx3s 23 Sep 2007 23:20:05 23,969 posts

Registered 16 years agoIt should work if you do the following:
1) Turn on your console.
2) Turn on your controllers
3) Press the sync button on the console
4) While the console is 'revolving' it's RoL, press the sync buttons on the controllers.
If it does not work, you should take the controller back because it is borked. I seem to recall that there was a certain early batch of controllers that had loads of problems (like not being able to connect while using a wireless headset). - Agent_Llama 24 Sep 2007 18:29:36 3,691 posts

Registered 16 years agoGah, it won't work. It's never even been used. That ring of lights just goes round and round and round. - Duffking 24 Sep 2007 18:31:16 16,804 posts

Registered 14 years agoThis happened to me recently, too. My second controller just WOULDN'T connect. I tried pressing the sync buttons in every way imaginable and I replaced the batteries. Twice. I'd keep on trying but my console died yesterday. Just my luck. (Sigh). - Agent_Llama 25 Sep 2007 18:59:03 3,691 posts
