Cyberra Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 I have an older xbox 360, possibly one of the first or second generation (a white one, if that tells anyone anything). I got it in 2011 and it has worked just fine for years. The other day, though, I noticed something odd... I have my controller plugged into the #1 slot, which corresponds to the upper left quadrant on the indicator ring around the center button on the controller and the one around the power button on the main console. For the last day or two, though, I have noticed the green light on the main console switching from the upper left quadrant to the upper right, especially if I'm on the dashboard screen. When I'm actually playing a game it's on the upper left quadrant where it should be, but this switching back and forth is making me nervous about the health of the console. The controller still works perfectly even when the indicator light is showing the wrong quadrant, but I'm still nervous about what it means. Anybody here have any thoughts?

Feelwell Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Obligatory "Have you tried turning it on and off" statement. Anyway, it's likely fine. It still recognizes it as Player 1, so shouldn't cause any issues. It still reads the controller perfectly fine, I'm guessing. Honestly though, XBOX 360s aren't the longest living things. It will probably break eventually, but personally, I doubt it'd be from anything related to this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it reads the controller perfectly fine, no hitches in character movement, trigger speed, or block placement except what's due to my own klutziness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeke Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Huh...Never heard of that happening before. It's probably a glitch/bad wire or something. If you have a second controller, try that to see if it has the same problem as the first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberra Posted March 21, 2017 Author Share Posted March 21, 2017 I don't have a spare, unfortunately. The switching back and forth has stopped... Now the indicator light on the front of the console is solidly in the upper right quadrant. Light on the controller still shows the upper left.
