Best Answer

It sounds like your controller is not synced with your Xbox. You can find full instructions on how to solve this here: Connect a controller to your Xbox 360.

In short, there's a sync button on the front of the Xbox, and a sync button on the controller. Press the one on the Xbox. Within 20 seconds, press the one on the controller.

Alternatively, you can hook the controller to the Xbox with a power cable, like the one that comes with the play and charge kit. This will sync the controller. It will remain synced if you unplug it.
