revhead347 Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 Does anyone know anything about Xboxs. I got a freebie Xbox 360 from my little brother. I put new AA batteries in the controllers, and neither one lights up or does anything. Am I missing something? I find it hard to believe that both controllers have the same problem.Kurt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferocious Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 Is it a wired or wireless controller? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prokiller Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 stupid question first, your sure the batteries are in the right way Kurt? you have to hold the button for a second or two to turn them on, not like the ps3 where they come on immediately.

revhead347 Posted October 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 They are wireless controllers. I put the batteries in the way it shows in the diagram. Just can't imagine that both of them are bad. I tried holding down the big X button in the middle and nothing happened.Kurt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferocious Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 Either the sensor in the controller or xbox is fried.Make sure if it's a wireless controller, it's not one that you have to charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

revhead347 Posted October 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 Thanks for your help guys. I got it figured out. Someone had put the dick all over the contacts in the battery case. A little bit of contact cleaner and a some scraping with a booger picker and I got them to fire. up.Kurt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
