Its a normal issue. Happened to all my controllers. You get a new one same thing going to happen eventually.

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

yea theres a fix on this..use tape to "thicken" the area...but since its a new unit and day1 itself its giving probs i thought it would be good to change..

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
