Make sure you connec it
Have you synced it with the new xbox? There is a button that looks kind of like ))) on your controller and xbox, push the one on your controller when you turn it on, then on your xbox and the lighted wheel should spin on both and settle on the same spot on both controller and console. If this isn't the problem, is your controller turning on at all? Maybe its batteries. If neither of these work, edit your post and i will brainstorm some more.





Glad to hear it!! Have fun :)
perhaps the problem was ur hard drive?? or there might be a short in ur controller. and the controllers for the arcade and pro are tottally different
press the ';sync buttons';, on the top of your controller (close to where you disconnect batteries). and the one on the console, the little button near the memory stick slot. That WILL fix it.
there is two things you need to do to connect them


there should be a button (circular) near the power button


press that and there is also one on the controller near the


charger port


press that and it could take some troubleshooting with which to press first
