Hello, I have bought an Afterglow Wired Xbox360 Controller about a month ago and plugged it to my PC with Windows 10 64-bit. It was working perfectly, glowing and rumbling, I was playing Dark Souls. Then I went with my family for about 2 weeks, and came home 2 days ago. I tried with The Witcher 3, to see how would it work with Afterglow, and worked without problems. Today’s morning I plugged my Afterglow, and it’s glowing green by all LEDs, but Guide Button doesn’t, and whole controller isn’t working, neither with Souls nor Witcher. Windows doesn’t beep when I plug or unplug it, doesn’t see it at joy.cpl, Device and Printers or Device Manager, controller just glows green so he must be powered-up. I tried with USB in front and back of PC, still only glowing. Same problem with my friend’s PC and Xbox 360, just glowing, not working. Could you help me?
I know I’m really late but I’ve been using afterglows for years and never have had problems with them until 2019 and 2020 now all of a sudden they won’t turn on I have probably bought around 8 in the last 2 years and none of them last longer than 2 months
Problem solved! I opened the Afterglow, clean it up from dust and plugged, again just glowing.. While packing motherboard into xbox case, I thorn off the RB-sibe vibration motor by accident. I wanted to see if anything happend, plugged it to PC and it start working! Maybe glowing Afterglow means “problem with motors” or something like that.
