i got the controller changed...the new 1 is worst then the older...the slightest shake will disconnects it. I think theres a QC prob somewhere..my other controller was ok..but so far it did dc once

yank out one or both of the spring coils in the controller from its socket so there's less space for the battery to move around. and don't worry about breaking the springs when u yank it out, its sturdy enough

Hmm...my controller works just fine. No disconnection ever. (Unless i move out of range). I think it's a defect, better change it quick while still got warranty.

Btw, how long can the battery last? Mine is maybe 1.5 months...still running...(but of course, i don't game everyday).

ok finally solved the problem with my controller..wat the shop dude did was to use a small screw driver..the ones u use for ur specs..and wat he did was to push out the metal contacts inside the battery holder/slot and also the tiny lil metal piece ontop(outside) the holder..do becareful tho.its not suppose to be sticking out too much
