    Xbox 360 console and controller issues :(

    Had my xbox 360 back after being repaired having had the E74 message. So connect it all up turn the console on, and then i turned the controller on. But the lights on the controller just keep flashing. The console is on but top right corner is not lit up. The other odd thing is that in the xbox menu the little character you can create, is no longer there it is just greyed out.


    Anyone had similar problems or know how a can fix this before having to send the console back to be repaired again????

    Have you re-synced the controller/console?

    Right i turned the console and controller on then pressed the sync button on the console, and then the sync button on the controller. Both went mad but then after a while the controller just went back to flashing. Am I doing the sync thing right?

    You may need to recover your gamertag, have you tried to sign in manually? (A on the grey one, then select your gamertag)

    To recover when you are signed out press the dash button then X to make sure you are signed out of any local profiles, then choose recover gamertag then follow the steps to recover the live gamertag

    I found recovering the gamertag worked when I wasn't getting some achievements in a game due to a glitch

    It helps to try the basic stuff first
