360 controller flashing problem...

E3 is not a show, It's a religion
Hi mates!
The guide button on my 360 controller is constantly flashing when i play.
The numbers on it are flashing like this : 1 and 2 flash then 3 and 4 flash then 1 and 2 again and so..
Anyone knows what it means ? I want to make sure everything is O.K as I have heard of A LOT of over heating problems, I have a "base fan" on it ( The one whit the green light on it ) and i wanted to make sure it works fine, becauze if it does not, I will go pick up the new Nyco one they had at E3!
Thanks!

if its not connecting to the 360 and its wireless, you need to hold that little button near where you charge it and you need to hold that connect button on the 360 (darn im bad with remembering names) - Jul 19, 2008 8:12 am GMT
The flashing controller lights means it's dying, or that you're hitting the button to make it search for a console to connect with. No overheating problems are ever reflected on the controllers, and add-on fans are useless - Jul 19, 2008 8:14 am GMT

[QUOTE="BLAS1AN"]does anyone know why after you turn off your xbox the green light is still on the controller?[/QUOTE] if you turn the console off via the controller, the controller shuts down with it. otherwise the controller stays on for ~10 minutes, until it automatically shuts itself off. not sure why they did it that way, but there's probably a reason, as having the controller be shut off at the same time can't be that difficult. - Jul 19, 2008 10:05 am GMTokay thanks. i was wondering because i always take the batteries out so it doesnt run out my batteries.

sync the controller to the xbox360. Push the little white button on the xbox, then the little white button on top of the remote. They should blink together once synced.

my controller does that too its not a problem its just does that randomly its only a problem if your xbox360 starts flashing red lights, your controller is fine btw they are green lights right?
but mines in this order 1, 4 then 2, 3.
- Aug 28, 2008 7:46 am GMTif all lights flash at once then its sync
- Aug 28, 2008 7:47 am GMTyea my controllers turn off with the system as well...and the flashing lights usually mean the controller is almost dead*wireless* but I do have one rouge controller that will randomly flash with 2 or 3 bars left so maybe you just have a crazy one like me
- Aug 28, 2008 7:50 am GMTthe controller shuts off for mine either way if i turn the x360 off when i use the controller or turn the x360 off the controller shuts down with it (this happens with your main controller if you had to sync yours manually then it will not work, if you use the same controller on the one x360 alot then that becomes the main controller for certain profile and then my point is true)
- Jan 25, 2009 4:30 pm GMTi think you need to sync it.
- Jan 13, 2010 2:52 am GMTThanks. Been having the same problem as OP, but after a while mine disconnects. I'll try syncing it now.

duh it's common sense.two flashing quadrants indicate low battery,four flashing,very low battery.try inserting new batteries?
