Xbox 360 remote not working

[final violet]

I’ve tried 2 of them (glossy red and also a black one) both have 2 brand new batteries in and neither turn on at all. Could the battery holder be broken?

Was it the 360 that required a receiver for it to? Or maybe that was just the original Xbox

[final violet]

nah ive used it fine for the past 7~ years

i think its an issue with the battery holder tho

I used to have a white controller that also had a battery holder that worked just fine on the red one

But I have some sort of bootleg wired controller arriving today from amazon

i dont care as long as i can play the games lol

[tender zodiac]

Wait you mean the controller/joystick?

Not the remote?

The remote looks like a TV remote and plays paused movies and stuff

I missed that you’d said “red/black” which can’t be the remote since that only came in white and only read the title lol

Check for battery acid build up. If you have a plug-n-play cable, you can use that to test if it’s a battery/holder issue. If it doesn’t power with the cable, controllers is most likely dead.

plug in play like the odd shaped port on the top of the remote?

i dont think i have one of those

[silk lantern]

Yes, the odd controller port.
