Guitar Strums Twice
Every time the guitar is strummed to play one note, the game registers two strums and plays two notes.
Tension Spring Broken or too Loose
This happens because the tension spring for the strummer is not set to the right value, or the spring is in fact broken. Look at our strummer replacement guide to fix this.
LED lights blinking, guitar cannot connect to console
The lights on the guitar blink rapidly and the game does not respond to any input to the guitar.
Out of Range
The Rock Band guitar only has a range of about 20 feet, make sure you are close enough to the wireless receiver
Guitar not synced
The guitar must be synced with a specific console, to do this press the small white button on the side of the guitar, below the D-pad. In addition, press the sync button on the wireless receiver or dongle.
Buttons stiff or unresponsive
Buttons are hard to press down or do not respond
Dirt or Dust Build Up
Some dirt or dust could have built up underneath the buttons causing them to stick or feel unresponsive. Look at our buttons replacement guide to clean or replace the buttons.
Device won’t power on
Lights do not come on when the bass is turned on
Power Switch Not On
There is a small black power switch on the back of the guitar next to the the battery panel.
Bad Batteries
The batteries in the guitar have no more charge. Replace the batteries on the back panel of the guitar.
Unresponsive or Broken Whammy Bar
When playing the game nothing is registered when using the whammy bar, or the whammy bar does not return to correct position
Bad Connection within Circuit
To open up the guitar and either check the connection of the whammy bar or to replace it, check out our replacement guide.
Broken or Loose Spring
To readjust the tension within the spring or to replace the spring, check out our replacement guide.

Our Beatles Rock Band PS3 the Hofner Bass Guitar suddenly stopped synching with its dongle. None of the stated fixs work.
There’s a video of this issue with Guitar Hero’s Guitar synching issue involving replacing capapcitors on the circuity board. Has anyone tried this?
Thank you for your help.

Hi, I’ve a weird problem. My guitar isn’t syncing at all. It was doing alright yesterday and today it stopped. The lights in the guitar and in the dongle are blinking, I’ve tried to change batteries, I’ve pressed a thousand times the sync button in the guitar and in the dongle and nothing, anyone knows what is happening?

I have this and the above problem as well. I have fixed a couple guitar hero guitars via the capacitor replacement, so I have it a try with this. Replaced all 4 capacitors on the board. But no luck, still same issue. Anyone figured this out?
Henry Adams -
I managed to get a dongle borrowed and it’s working with it, so it seems that the problem is in the dongle. How should I proceed?
João Falcão -
Have a weird problem where the hofner syncs properly and can give input in title screens, but both red and green buttons (on both lower frets and solo frets) do the cancel/back action i.e., I cannot confirm/forward but everything else works fine. Can't even find it mentioned anywhere else.

Have the same problem with my hoffner bass and the drums (beatles set for 360 with the madcat legacy...). I kept the set stored and suddenly the guitar didnt sync. The drums synced well and, last week stop.
All the set and lights are in good shape. Lights on, searh for sync but nothing happen.
