Yup, the controller powers ON the xbox, when the xbox button(on controller is pressed) but it WON'T find the xbox after that to sync Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pistonbroke Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 If you wire the controllers in via USB, do they work? Also just read, after pressing the sync button on the xbox, press and HOLD the sync button on the controller to see if that works. There's also this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geo Posted April 25, 2011 Author Share Posted April 25, 2011 If you wire the controllers in via USB, do they work? not got cables dude, iv got 2 wireless control pads. going to have another shot later at getting it to sync Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pistonbroke Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Ah, I have wireless controllers too, but with the play and charge kits, so you plug them into the console to charge, and also still use them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geo Posted May 9, 2011 Author Share Posted May 9, 2011 Phoned Xbox support..... Yes i was getting annoyed Looks like the wireless card in the Xbox is Gubbed, for the life of me i cant get it fixed. £62 from Xbox to repair it, plus i get another 1 year warranty with it?

Swampy442 Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Doesnt seem that pricey, and you get the warrantee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geo Posted May 9, 2011 Author Share Posted May 9, 2011 Doesnt seem that pricey, and you get the warrantee not bad i reckon, although not happy its stuffed after just over a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Its odd, Ive had numerous Xbox's over the years and not had a single failure. Think the cost of repair against the cost of a new console, its good value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think the cost of repair against the cost of a new console, its good value. this is my 2nd one, 1st had RROD on it, bought the Elite thinking it was a better version, nope Wireless card stuffed. yeah i was expecting over £100 to repair it. so not bad i reckon.

Swampy442 Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Could you not run a cable to it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geo Posted May 9, 2011 Author Share Posted May 9, 2011 Could you not run a cable to it? don't have one. can't be arsed with a cable running through the livingroom, the dog would have it in bits when i wasn't looking. I'll go with the repair as i get another warranty with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 the dog would have it in bits when i wasn't looking. Lol, Im glad my dog has absolutely no interest in trashing stuff. Good luck with the repair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
