If you're using a Logitech wireless controller with your Microsoft Xbox 360 home video game console, your unit could give you trouble for a few different reasons. Though wireless controllers allow you greater freedom to move around a room while playing games, they also have a greater number of things that could interfere with the signal being transmitted between your Xbox 360 and the controller.

Turn off your Xbox 360 and turn it back on again. Doing so will reset the memory of your game console (which has the same effect as restarting a computer). Any errors your Logitech controller was giving you because of an error in the Xbox's system memory will be cleared, and the controller will work again.

Make sure no other device is interfering with your Logitech Xbox 360 wireless controller. Devices like wireless Internet routers, microwave ovens and even certain portable telephones that use specific frequencies can interfere with a wireless controller connection. Remove these items from the room that your Xbox 360 and wireless controller are in and try using your controller again.
