Fixes for your XBox 360 Controller Mic

-

First review how to open/clean your XBox 360 Controller, here


Symptoms: You can hear people on your mic's headset but cannot communicate back, you have toggled the mute button a hundred times and it doesn't seem to matter. Also you might completely loose voice/sound from the mic/headset but it works on another controller. WTF Mate?


Fixes for both Wired and Wireless Controllers Mic


The hardest part here is figuring out if it is the Mic or if it is the Controller. If you have two different mics or controllers, what you should do is plug the possibly defective mic into both controllers, if it works in one but not the other then we can probably fix it. If it doesn't work in either than you probably don't have a working mic. You can double check this by buying a new mic or borrowing one from a friend, if it still doesn't work it's a bad mic.

The problem is probably a loose connection in the controller, you first want to follow the instructions in the link above to disassemble the controller. After it is taken apart you can begin the work. At the base of the circuit board (the thin green plate) you will see where you would normally plug the mic in. There is a metal bracket in there that not only holds the mic in place when plugged in but completes the circuit. Normally the bracket becomes loose enough that it will no longer transmit your voice even if you can hear others. Find a toothpick or simmilar object (nothing too big or you might break the bracket). !!Warning if done improperly you can break the bracket completely!! Gently insert the toothpick into the mic plug from the inside (normally you plug it in facing towards the guide button, do the opposite of that) catching the metal bracket and bending it slightly down. Leave it wedged into the bracket for 30 minutes to an hour to have the bracket re-seat itself properly. You should now have a working controller and be able to continue your smack talk on xbox.

If this didn't fix it more than likely it's not the controller but the mic itself. Double check the diagnosing it section, if you are 100% positive it is the controller please leave a comment with the steps you have taken and I will try to assist you further.

XBox 360 Bumper doesn't work.

First review how to open/clean your XBox 360 Controller, here Symptoms: My right bumper is sticking when i push it. My left bumper only works some times. The bumper seems loose or doesn't make the click noise when I push it down. Fixes For Problematic XBox 360 Bumpers. After you take apart the controller using the above guide you will see on the circuit board two white buttons facing forward (next to the left joystick and the other next to the "Y" button). These are the actual buttons that are being depressed when you go to press RB or LB (right bumper, left bumper). First we want to make sure these are cleaned thoroughly and no debris is caught in or around the button. If it is sticky I would use a Q-tip and rubbing alcohol to remove the gunk. After making sure the button is clean, press it down. Do you hear a click ? If you don't that means the button itself is messed up and short of taking it to a repair shop it's done. If it does click, we can cont

First review how to open/clean your XBox 360 Controller, here Symptoms: My stick is flacid, lol. There is no resistance or there is too much. Sometimes I will hit 'bumps' when moving my joystick.
