Silver Fox Member Registered: 01/23/03 Posts: 127 Loc: Columbia, MD, USA	I have an Xbox 360 for about 4 years now. I use a wireless controller with rechargeable battery packs. The controllers are also 4 years old. Never had any problems with them. Then 5 days ago they start disconnecting in the middle of play. I tried using reg. batteries (NiCd) still smae problem. I disconected/turned off the wireless head set to see if it was interferring and same thing, so it's not the headset. Anyone have any idea as to whats going on? Silver Fox

You may be surprised how the buttons and sticks have degraded without you noticing. _________________________ •XBL/Steam/Xfire: Raw Kryptonite MWO: Defcon Won •Logitech G27 Nixim •AMD FX-4170 •Sapphire Radeon HD 6950 & 6970 2GB GDDR5 Crossfire •16 GB Corsair Vengeance 1600mhz PC3-12800 •MSI 990FXA-GD65 Mobo

I ended up buying a nyco charger + 2 battery pack and havent had any problems since. A new controller could fix your problem too. :P

Silver Fox Member Registered: 01/23/03 Posts: 127 Loc: Columbia, MD, USA	Thanks for the help everyone. The duct tape worked great the only problem now is to find the buttons under the tape. Just kidding. I actually went out and bought a new controller and batteries. Things are working good again. Interestingly the old batteries in the new controller work fine too. So I guess you were right on the mark Raw Kryptonite. Thanks for all the imput. S F
