Guys... I'm having problem with my controller using original battery. After 1 hour plus of gameplay, my controller would lost its connection with the box. After you reconnect for few times it keeps happening. The battery is fully charge and the battery level indicates full power. I have no such problem with alkaline battery though... help me guys...

My GP rechargable batteries have similar issues
it does happen every now and then
after i switch to quick charge and play, my prob is gone

mine also, but its like once a week/month. once it shut off completely with a fully charged batt oso. then i interswitch the batts, then it went well.
and also, if ur headset is plugged in, after ur controller recovered from loss signal, u cant talk lol. the sound comes out from the speakers

It happens to my controller, only one of them.

So I've got 3 controllers, the first one's got loose slots for everything(mic cable slot loose, battery slot loose) so I tried on my 2nd controller. It didn't work. I held the battery in place and it worked but after I release it it moves around a milimeter and starts working. So it's the controller not the battery.

thank god it Hezda...not Hezra........ ohhhhhhhh fobiaaaaaa

u know when u deactivate ur console using the button the controller off itself as soon as the console has been shutdown.
u cannot totally justify its the controller battery fault or controller itself
could be the wireless transmitter i say
i wouldnt know man just a logical thinking

What i discovered is

DONT DROP THE CONTROLLER

that would be the cause of the problem if u have dropped it, in which case theres little we can do. mine does that too one of the controllers (i have 2 controllers)

yea dont drop
i throw my controller once coz i got chainsaw by cannavaro

i kicked mine coz i put it right at the edge of my bed. (n i was sleeping) woohoo

That happened to me a couple times before.

Then i found out that the battery didn't touch the battery pack completely

I gotta do some minor modification to fix it.(i just put a little tissue ball tissue to press the battery down)

Yup it's the contact between the battery and the slot.

I dropped my wired controller a few times already, coz the wire is too damn long! When I wana leave the table the wire sangkut at my leg, pants etc

omg wat u doing with the wires? r u a bond4ge SM freak or sumfin

haha mine drop 2 times i think..because.......Ahh, dont know why but keeps falling out of my hands..like no grip like that..

Thanks guys. I haven't drop my controller yet... just bought it for less than a month. I think I'll try it few more times to see whether it happens often or not, don't have time to play recently... I'm pretty sure it is not my controller's problem, might be the battery I bought from PA.

Try getting a tiny piece of metal/other electrical conductor jammed between the slot and the battery so they touch properly and work. It's not the battery cause I have this problem with my other controller too.

Btw, the bit at the bottom of the controller, is it silver and shiny or grey and not shiny?

make sure u dont short circuit the controller and kiss sayonara 3rod popping on ur controller

That will be cool

I think my batt is acting up...

bought 2 batts.
1 is working fine...

but the other...

Keeps on charging non-stop the whole battery back becomes freakin heavy. So what I do is recharge for 3 hrs then pull it out... Dont want it to explore. Wont be buying any more batts from MS. Next purchase would a set of 4AA batts with charger.

it's just contact problem... sometimes excessive force might knock the batteries inside a little... i've had different levels of sensitivity depending battery brand...

it's no biggie, just clean up the contacts and batteries a little, and don't knock it up...
