Logitech Wireless problems on the new PS2

I love my first cordless action controller. Never had any problems until I bought the second for my new model PS2 SCPH-70012. Each controller will work fine when only one is plugged into the player 1 port. When plugging in the second, the receiver will seek the controller, the led turns off and it will respond to button presses, yet it is not recognized in any 2 player game as being plugged in.

Since both controllers work fine used in the one player slot I know they both are fully functional ocntrollers. I can't imagine this is an isolated incident. Please, please tell me I'm not alone !! Then tell me how to get them to work, please!!

Is there a button on the reciever? I think you use that to set one controller to one reciever by pressing the start button after pressing the button on the reciever. See if that works.

Exactly, I know someone that had the same problem. Just press the receiver button on the receivers.

did that. I even switched receivers, pressed the mode buttons to 'rescan' for operable controllers, and tried the re-calibration method.

THe funny thing is that both receivers work and respond to button presses from their respective controllers. It's just that controller #2 isn't recognized by any game as being plugged in, even though the receiver seems to be functioning fine by lighting every time a button is pressed by controller #2.

I'm at my wits end and logitech doesn't seem to have a support email to contact, only the stupid forums and FAQ's, which suck.

Here use this address to contact logitech

They are very fast to reply.

thanks but the link says I'm logged on as you, though. Afte I try to log in on the next page, I can't find that question submission anymore.

I found this post on their forums:

I talked with tech support. Several controllers should be no problem, Each has there own code. If you look on the bottoms the trans and Reciever has matching serials.
I was able to finally get the proper transmitter working with the correct reciever.
Try this: With the receiver flashing, press and hold the reciever button for 10 seconds, then press and hold the mode, R-1, & L-1buttons at the same time for several seconds, after releasing press the mode again, it should start working.

The bad news is that I have had to do this each time to get the second controller to work, I power the ps2 with 1 reciever inserted then get it to connect. Next I plug in the second reciever which won't connect and the above steps worked. I did try a few times for each restart but have been successful each time so far.

Thanks, I'll give it a try. That's a pretty convoluted way to get things going, though. They could at least document this. We can't be the only ones with multiple wireless controllers for the PS2, could we ?

Thanks CrashSpyro for the info. Tried it about a dozen times to no avail. The receiver respons just like it's supposed to, just no recognition that a controller is in port #2.

Does any type of controller work in the 2nd port? It could just be a defective console...

yes, any normal corded controller works just fine. Goddamned technology !!

Although I love my Wavebird cordless controller for my Gamecube, I didn't care at all for the Logitech I bought for my XBOX. The response just seemed a bit off to me. I ended up trading it away.
