When I put these (fully charged) power packs into my 360 controller, all 4 green lights around the xbox button light up and blink. The console will not register that a controller is even active. Anyone know why?

I've had these charging stations on the PS3, and according to Energizer when the controls are already charged, the LED lights are on, but stop charging the batteries. And it really works, because I had four controls, and they worked perfectly until sells them.

Does your Xbox still draw power while you think it is "off"? Conversely, does it draw enough power when it is on? Mine works with a laptop used as the master and all other appendages (external monitor, docking station) in the green, switched outlets.

Vince, If you haven't figured it out yet, you have to pair the controller with your Xbox 360. On the top edge of the controller, between the shoulder buttons, there is a small button with three ))) coming off it. Hold it down until the ring of LED's blink around the controller's guide button, then press the corresponding ))) button on the console (round on the original and Elite models, and a small rectangle right up against the front USB ports cover) so that it also has it's LED ring blinking around the power button. The blinking means they're trying to discover eachother. This works for me, hope it does for you too!

This was a failed project for me, one of my 2 controllers died, There were times one of 2 lights worked. I might have my controller on one side of my 220 line and the sockets on the other side. What I can tell you is that manually turning the lights on with the switch in the garage, they don't come on. I think "Francois" has answered the question for us. If I saw his thoughtful answer before I started to respond, I might not have replied. Thank you Francois.

there are conflicting answers here... please confirm once and for all... This Charging base - does it include battery packs for 4 controllers (3?2?1?) - or does it come with rechargeable batteries for 4 controllers (3?2?1?) - or do you have to have Microsoft Battery Packs already (about $12 each sold separately)?

Normally the Windows 7 updates will take care of this. Just press "A" button to wake the controller up when it goes into "sleep" mode. However, there was one time I had to install the drivers for this controller because it was somehow missing. (I am not sure if this applies to Windows 8). You will have to look it up online, but it has to do with installing the latest driver of Xbox 360 controller and modifying a file to rename the directory the file points to, which is the Logitech Gamepad. Aside from this issue that happens once and takes about 10 minutes to do (provided you find the information), the gamepad is pretty good to use. Normally the Windows 7 updates will take care of this.

My son has updated his Xbox and his game still works. I think that you need to contact Xbox Customer Support.

I haven't had that happen to me. It could be an issue with your power supply not being able to distribute enough power while playing the game. Maybe try borrowing another high watt supply and test it?

it comes with the controller, but i would suggest buying the 360 plug n play adapter made for the xbox 360, as that gives it a better rechargable battery pack instead of the double A batteries that come standard.

I would not call it a standard rechargeable, if there is two standard batteries they are completely sealed inside a small case which then plugs in to the controller, no way to open, when I unplug the charging cord from the xbox 360 it will stand alone if it is charged. I don't have a dual station so I don't know if it is compatible. hope this helped

I was only pushing it on the controller and it would not work.I tried E. Manns post - You need to push the ))) button on the X-box AND the controller simultaneously - the X-box light and the cotroller light both need to both be swirling at the same time for them to sync up.I was ready to take the thing back - but E. Manns post is spot on and does work.Thanks E Manns!

No...i haven't had any problem like such...The controller works perfect and i usually recharge it after 48-60 hours of gaming...It has a very strong long range..Actually the controller works together with the USB so if it aint connected it will be blinking red light. But when you connect the USB the red light will be steady meaning that it it is now active...However i'm only taking precautions about the charge but the lifespan of the battery might extend above the hours i'm talking about but to be on the safer side i don't allow it to be more than 60 hours without recharging it (meaning 60 hours of gaming).

I have this controller and the one that does not include the battery pack for recharging. The wireless USB connected to the PC for the wireless controller is the same. The only difference between this one and the one without the rechargeable back, is the rechargeable pack. If that was you question, then yes it will work. If you asking about a different xbox controller, I don't know if it will work. My understanding, is this is the only xbox controller that works on the pc with no problems. Others have issues.

There are two lights on this device that should be lit whenever a controller is docked. When this device is charging a corresponding light will indicate that controller is being charged by a red or green indicator. When controller is fully charged only a white indicator will be lit when docked.

The original Xbox doesn't have a power brick like the 360 or One. The "power supply unit" is inside the console and would be found under that title but you would also need to know if it's a one or two row connector.

I had a similar problem during the game when my controller batteries were low. Change your batteries and see if that helps.
