Question:

Xbox 360 wireless controller wont turn on using rechargeable battery pack.?

I bought a battery pack a few months ago, and it worked fine up until about a month ago. I went to turn the controller and console on using the controller one day and it just stopped working. This past Saturday morning, I went and picked up a new battery thinking it was the other battery pack. The new battery pack is charged, according to the play and charge cable LED indicator light. The controller still will not turn on without being plugged into the Xbox using the play and charge cable. The thing about all this is that when i put the standard AA battery pack in, the controller work fine.Anything I can do to fix this, SHORT OF BUYING A NEW CONTROLLER!!! Thanks!

Answer:

So I think you are stating you have had this problem with two different charge packs, but with a battery pack it works? I would put a multimeter on the terminals of the controller and see if you are getting high or low voltages of it and possibly frying the charge packs.

you got to try cleaning to gold plates on the inside of the controller and the battery pack. it has happened to me many times.
You know inside of the little piece you snap it onto, there are springs and a little golden about 5 bar piece for the rechargable? Well yah, you burned out the 5 bar piece on the controller itself, that's all. I'm pretty sure you can get it replaced for $10.
