Every time I tap on the battery pack on the back, it disconnects my controller. It's extremely frustrating because every time I put my controller down on a table, it disconnects. Does anyone know why this is? My battery pack doesn't look loose.
It's not uncommon for a wireless controller's batter pack to behave like that. There are several different things you can do. The first is is a more sarcastic approach in tightly taping the battery to the controller. The second is to be extra gentle in setting the controller down to determine the exact level of sensitivity so you can put your controller down without losing the wireless connection. The third is to hardline the controller to the Xbox, though that would obviously take the fun out of playing wirelessly. The fourth and least likely option is to buy a new controller. Generally, the most frequent cause of a controller's disconnecting is lack of contact between the battery and the controller. Even the slightest lacking will sever the connection to the Xbox. If the battery pack fits the compartment on the bottom of the controller perfectly, and you can't push it towards you and feel it budge, then it might not be the battery pack; it could be the controller itself. If that's the case, you are likely looking at a possible replacement controller. It happens. Sometimes you get a lemon. Make sure you don't buy merchendise at gaming outlets. As unusual as that might seem, you'll commonly get a better deal if you go to Target or Walmart. Before you consider the possibility, I would strongly recommend you try my trouble shooting suggestions mentioned above. Experience has shown the problem to be between the battery and the controller. It might be different for you. Good luck!
