Wireless reciever died

[russ190]

Has anyone had the Xbox 360 controller receiver die? It was working and now it will not. Anyone know if there is a fix? dont want to spend the money on a new one.

The fix is to buy the new 360, built in wireless ftw.
Mine arrived today

how exactly would buying a new xbox help with an issue with the pc wireless controller receiver?

That would NOT help due to the receiver is broke...NOT the controller. IT was working just fine and then i went to play later today and nadda. Controller turns on just fine.

Yea i don't think Butler read that throughly enough there. I guess your just going to have to buy another receiver or a wired 360 controller.

Ya. Mine did not too long ago. I went and got another one. And for me, the wired one doesnt show up on my computer. (It doesnt notice it.)

i had the same problem it seems that the thing is VERY sensitive to sudden changes in power, i once disconnected it from USB while the pc was still running(been doing that for ages and never had anything die on me) and suddenly it didn't work anymore.

I recommend just getting a wired controller, if you are not sitting too far away from your pc

LOL silly me, i thought he meant the wifi receiver for the old xboxs
