x box not picking up wireless controllers signal

I bought an xbox in smyths on 16th Dec last and was working fine until recently. It is not picking up the signal from the controllers. Definitely not the controller though as tried others and its the same. Will I bring it back to smyths or do what it says on the manual and get microsoft to take care of it??

Sounds like you just need to resync it. Press the sync button on the top of the controller (small white one) at the same time as the sync button on the 360 console (eh forgot where this is, on the front might be secretted away under a flap of plastic).

Yeah did that and the green ring on the controller just goes round and round.

actually mine has been doing similar the last couple of days. it is eventually picking them (after a minute or so) up but i'm having to sync them a couple of times a day over the last few days

my xbox is a fair bit older though, about 2 years older

only had to sync it the first day and it wont pick it up at all now. Have tried several times and waited but nothing. I know I am not doing anything wrong because a few friends have had a look that have xboxes and cant understand it either.

Has anyone rang microsoft about theirs or should I go back to Smiths?

If you still have the receipt, try bringing it back to Smyths. Tell them its faulty, and they should replace it.
If not call MS, they might tell you whats wrong, or send you out a new one.
