I had one like that as well.

But sold it to some sucker instead of dealing with it.

The previous owner reset everything to factory settings. I hooked it all up and started going through the set-up. The first screen, when selecting language the controller started going nuts and it was just running up and down through the languages uncontrollably. I looked it up online and reset the controller with a paper clip on the small hole on the back.

During the set-up now, it will only let me use the analog sticks and I can't get past the screen that says "HDMI connection...blah...blah...blah." It gives me an option of yes or no....but no matter which one I click on....it doesn't do anything.

Is the controller screwed up? Does it need charged? What the **** did I waste my money on? I plugged the controller into the dock and it's lighting up all different colors so I'm assuming it's charging.

But what is going on for anyone who has the system? Any ideas?
