Well I finally get my repaired 360 to work yesterday, then find that the wired controller which I bought brand new on Ebay and tested fine on my PC either wants to sit there with 4 green lights flashing, or occasionally two.

Anyone got any ideas on what to do? (other than replace it)

Are you playing next to a radio or a big generator that might block the wireless frequency.

syncing is only for wireless, and yeah i've tried turning the xbox on with it - funny thing is that it works perfect sometimes for say a minute, and then starts blinking all 4 lights, or I turn the xbox off and it then turns the xbox back on at random by itself.

Have you tried taking out the HDD and putting it back in? I've heard that that can sometimes fix it.

But I've also heard that people have been getting problems when their boxes came back after RROD, did you have to send yours in?...Maybe try calling Microsoft?

Funnily enough I just did a RROD fix on mine (well not quite RROD but video and no audio), the controller was bought brand new on Ebay so don't know if Micro$loth warranty will cover me there. I have tried putting on / taking off HDD once though, might try it again later.

      Yeah, my moulds and seals are 32 years old now. I think I will continue to not use a pressure washer on it.

      I hear the old "I'd never use a pressure washer on my motorbike" BS in the dirtbike community too.  The only people that have had a problem from using a pressure washer on anything are the people that aren't using them properly.  If you hold the wand any more than 45 cms away from pretty much anything (radiators, wiring connectors, paint, etc) you aren't going to cause any damage.  We've had detailers wreck moulds and seals on cars at work before and the only reason why is they held the pressure washer too close and on the one spot for too long.  If you have 5% more brain power than a detailer then you know not to not do that and you'll never have a problem.

      I'm pretty much healed up post surgery so I spent another almost full day out in the shed re-arranging everything to make room for all of the shit that I've taken off the car.  I need to get everything off the floor and away from the car for when I start making a massive mess stripping off the remaining body deadener and then for the the painting process.  Almost got the shed to a point now where I feel I can actually start working on the car again (clean shed clean mind or something!).  Almost 11 years of accumulated car parts, building supplies, tools, junk, etc have taken a long time to get in some sort of order again!  Most stuff is now boxed up and in the back shed if it's not car related.  Most people would still be horrified walking into my shed but it's significantly better than it was before!   For those that saw my separate post the other day, yeah I ordered one.... This version- I convinced myself to stop being a clown, wake up to yourself and realise it will take you 5 weeks to make one by which stage you're over working on the car again...  Maybe I am getting on top of my "mental ailments" and making smarter choices.... $1450 delivered which will take my miserable half-dutch arse a few days to get over having spent that much!  If I don't have a use for it straight away after my car is off it I might even see if there is a "rental market" for them.  See if anyone wants to hire it for a period of time.  $25 a week or something like that.  I'll worry about that when my car is actually ready to come off it though as that might be a while away!! There's now no excuses now for not ending up with an underside you could eat off! Away for kids sport the next few weekends so hopefully can get the rotisserie assembled ready to go for the car to go straight on it the next available weekend.
