    It's blinking an error code. Watch it carefully for a pattern, then look up wired Xbox 360 controller error codes to determine the problem.

  • Question
    I have different screws in my Xbox controller and I only have a small screwdriver - what do I do?
    Community Answer
    Take the controller to the hardware store and show it to an employee there. They can show you which screwdriver you need to buy. Your only other option is to try to borrow the correct screwdriver from a friend.
