pc Xbox 360 controller does not work

I just bought this controller and installed. Game hand light flashes and the wireless receiver has no active light power when plugged to the USB port. I have a dell Inspiron that means I have no power to my USB port and can not use this controller, or could there be another problem.

Hi sluggie371,

I hope you do well. First of all, whether it is a hardware problem! Please, try to connect the controller to a different computer and check.

If in case it's a hardware problem, you may need to contact the manufacturer. However, you can try with the article below for steps that you can follow.

http://support.Microsoft.com/default.aspx/KB/906347

Please, try the procedure described in the link above and let me know if it works.

You can also try uninstalling the software of controller and then reconnect the controller. The software will be automatically installed.

I hope that this solves the problem.

Please let me know if you need assistance.

Concerning

Rehman

    I try to use my XBOX on my PC wireless controller, it seems to be installed correctly (that is, it is correctly identified in the list of devices [as 'XBOX 360 wireless controller via Play and Charge Kit,' which is how it is connected], identifies correctly connected to the USB port [I moved it a few times to check]).  But it does not work for the 2 games I tried (BioShock 2 and Tomb Raider, both downloaded via Steam).  One of the games (Bio2) even has an option to enable or disable the XBOX controller, but when I try to click on the button 'ON' it will not activate, and 'OFF' option remains on.

  • Xbox 360 gamepad does not work on PC, TRIED EVERYTHING.

    As the title says, I literally went to every length next to the purchase of a new controller for that to work, I tried for about a month now. I have tried every thing simple that everyone suggested on the forums and here as well. Simply, he doesn't get the drivers. I downloaded them, still are not. He knows it's a joystick, but won't actually run it needs drivers, but they NEVER WORK. I've tried EVERYTHING. It's so hard to play with only one controller.

  • xBox 360 controller does not at all for PC

    I downloaded and installed the Xbox 360 accessories. And installed everything and everything I plug the controller. When he was done, I rebooted my computer and plugged into the controller. He has ALWAYS installed the plug-and-play driver and is the only driver that appears in my device manager. It does not show the HID - controller game or the other. And in the xbox controller tab, it shows the plug-and-play/charge kit driver.

    Now, I completely uninstalled, restarted, and redone it... two times... and at the same time UNIQUE of EACH result. I use a wireless controller - but I'm on the wired USB plug on it, to make wired. -What is the problem?

  • PlayStation 3 Sixaxies Controller does not work

    Hello I am looking for a fix for this problem, I have a perferctly good controller and a new computer windows 7 64 bit and I would like to know why the controller does not work please help thanks

    Are you sure Sony support the controller on a PC?  If you are just using a pilot implemented by a guy then it probably won't work on 64-bit.

    My advice, pick up a wired Xbox 360 controller.  Windows Update uses drivers and it will install immediately.  If you want to go wireless, you can use a wireless controller with the USB Gaming receiver for Windows.

  • A Xbox controller does not work

    I recently bought a controller a Xbox with the kit of load to my PC. In which case it is important, I bought it on Amazon. I plugged it and he picked up the device, but the device driver installs. I have advanced and installed the official drivers, disconnected and reconnected my device. Still won't pick it up. I went into Device Manager and then uninstalled the device, remove the drivers in the process, then I reinstalled the drivers for the MSI. Still does not work. It will run for about 10 seconds then refresh Device Manager and it's back to default. Finally, I came across issues so I ended up reinstalling Windows and the same behavior persists. When I check in the Device Manager, it shows "this device cannot start. (Code 10) ».

    I am at a loss as to where I should go. Any help would be really appreciated.

    Some additional information. I have Windows 7 Pro 64-bit, 64-bit driver and I am connect the controller to a USB hub.

    I could solve the problem. I plugged the controller to my motherboard and it works properly now. Do not use a USB hub. He may not like it.

  • Xbox 360 Driver does not

    I have a gamepad XBOX 360 Madcatz.  It worked fine with Windows Vista Home Premium 32 - bit, but since I updated to Windfows 7 Ultimate 64 - bit, it has serious problems.

    A summary of the questions is as follows:

    The buttons are always involved, A is X, RS is start, (etc.) and the Joysticks roll wildly when I start calibration, out of control.

    I've tried every Driver Microsoft I can find and even the XBCD drivers, who sometimes make the pad that is undetectable by most of the games and even my PC...

    Because Windows doesn't let me at least change the buttons ios (for instance the switch button 2 x instead of B) it in any way to solve this problem?

    I found the problem: it is not the controller, it's just the Ubisoft games for most...  Especially with Splinter Cell: Conviction.  Seems they have worse support of controllers, as well online does not work.

    Thanks for the reply and take time out of your day, but the Comptroller works very well: Ubisoft do lol.

    Moose title: Wired xbox 360 controller not recogniezed

    I recently received an xbox 360 WIRED gamepad and when I plug it into the computer (windows 7 64-bit) does not recognize the device, I tried to use the updates of drivers and microsoft Xbox 360 accessories program detects or updates are available.

    Pleas help!

    I had the same problem, cannot find a solution that worked everywhere, including Microsoft support forums.

    About to give up, I remembered the old cure NDA, shaped, "why not?"  I've tried everything else. "So I've disconnected everything on the gamepad, blew in every connection and reconnected everything, by ensuring that the connections were tight.

    It has worked perfectly since then.
