I just bought a rechargeable battery pack and fully charged it. I can't seem to get my xbox to detect it. Everytime i press the wireless button on my console then the button on my controller, it then just gives a full 3 blinks i think on both console and controller but it doesn't show what player is is. Am I missing any steps? or there's something wrong with the batteries?

did u read the manual? bla bla bla.... press the sync button to detect again. blablabla out

and Happy Birthday to me

he already mention " Everytime i press the wireless button on my console then the button on my controller " means he already press the SYNC button liew.

sorry my mistake....

anyway if bought the play and charge pack u can try using the rechargerble cable to detect it 1st.

The cable by itself works but not with the batteries.

mine also got prob
i just bought new 3rd party battery
now my prob is

whenever i put 3rd party battery on my controller
it will detect and got no prob

but when i put my ori battery on my controller
i wont detect it
already do the sync many time
same...
but when i put my ori battery to my other controller
it will detect as controller 1

my head turn upside down...

lololol

My experience, i was conned into buying a 3rd party rechargeable battery pack (White) for the 360 controller...the shopkeeper near my place told me it's original Microsoft products and that the black battery pack doesnt exists. I'm kinda desperate for one that time and made hasty purchases due to the frustration of havin to recharge me batt over and over again and I also knew that the black rechargeable batt existed bcoz IT'S PRINTED ON MY ELITE'S BOX!

Went home happily replace the AA battery cap with the newly bought rechargeable battery pack on the Elite's controller and IT'S JUST WONT PAIR no matter how many times I tried and follow the instruction on the 3rd party Microsoft look-a-like packaging. - BUYERs BEWARE - Get ur goods at reputable store and DONT MAKE HASTY PURCHASES LIKE I DID...

However, once i tried it on my lil bro white controller...it works wonder! So, I end up buying the batt for him instead and stucked with AA batt til last week, I manage to get myself an Original black battery pack from GH through Djinn...it works for my Elite's controller and I never try swappin batt with my bro's controller anymore

btw, Djinn explained that he havent heard of such problem persisted with ORI battery pack and he even uses different colour battery pack with different controller...

still it wont answer why the xbox wont detect it on my blue controller

I went back to the shop today, the solution was to plug the cable in first so it detects the controller then place the battery in while the cable is still plugged in. Hope it helps anyone out there with the same problem. Cheers
