XBox 360 Wireless Controller's battery wont charge.

-
Symptoms: I have left my xbox wireless controller for a couple weeks or months now when i go to turn it on it wont do anything. OR i plug it in and the charge light comes on for a couple seconds and then turns right off.

Fix for Most it wont charge issues.

Most times a battery can be saved from the clutches of dead battery-dom by a simple trick. What you do is plug it in wait a couple seconds and when the charge light turns off, unplug it and plug it back in. You might need to repeat this 15-20 times which can be a pain, but compared to dishing out another 20+ bucks for a battery, this is by far the lesser of the two evils.

If this didn't solve your issue and you have any questions about the steps please leave a comment with the steps you have taken and I will try to assist you further.

The bumper seems loose or doesn't make the click noise when I push it down. Fixes For Problematic XBox 360 Bumpers. After you take apart the controller using the above guide you will see on the circuit board two white buttons facing forward (next to the left joystick and the other next to the "Y" button). These are the actual buttons that are being depressed when you go to press RB or LB (right bumper, left bumper). First we want to make sure these are cleaned thoroughly and no debris is caught in or around the button. If it is sticky I would use a Q-tip and rubbing alcohol to remove the gunk. After making sure the button is clean, press it down. Do you hear a click ? If you don't that means the button itself is messed up and short of taking it to a repair shop it's done. If it does click, we can cont
