   I have been having many problems with my GH guitar. Got a GH guitar and three games for Christmas and the dongle it up and connected to the guitar and it worked. But the strum bar immediately started screwing up. Every time I hit it down it would only sometimes activate. Then it stopped working completely. So I sent it back and bought a GH guitar and single brand new. Plugged in the dongle and turned it on and the red light flashed and flashed and didn’t stay a continuous light. I turn on the guitar and the red light on it constantly blinks and flashes. Tried changing the batteries, ordered a new dongle but I’m almost 100% it won’t work. If anyone could help I’d greatly appreciate it.

      This original article is referring to the old GH system … if you are talking about the new GH Live … then I don’t know about any problems with it yet. (I have it but haven’t turned it on yet.)

      The old system, the dongle is a box connected to a usb plug-in … it wouldn’t work at all most of the time until I did the fix I talked about in the post above, and it’s been solid every since. Haven’t had a strum problem either, nor a problem with connecting once I took apart that dongle and fixed it.

   I need some help. It was working for me for a few days but now the light won’t even turn on when I connect it to my PS4. Took it apart but still nothing. When I hook it up to my PC though, it works fine. Any help?

   I’ve had a non working dongle lying around for a year. I tried activision support which was a complete joke, they basically told me to Google it. I tried your trick and it worked! Thanks

   Nelson @MIAHeatSoldier did you ever find a solution to the problem as I have the exact same problem and have been looking for the answer as well.

   I’m having problems getting my Warriors of Rock guitar to connect to its dongle on the PS3. The lights work on both, but no connection. Tried following the instructions. Nothing. When I plugged it into my PC I noticed it was called “Spyro Portal” in the Devices and Printers window. So two part question. 1) Can I fix the connection issue? And 2) Is the Spyro Portal part of the issue?

      If it lit up, is it not connecting? You are dealing with an old dongle, one of the PS3 guitar hero games is what this page is about.
