How to fix a broken Xbox 360 controller (from disconnecting)

[MultiSuex]

i love you man! HAHAHA! thx

[brycethedudeable]

i have this problem on a wired

[rayane181297]

Does this apply to weird stuff like controller disconnecting ONLY when you shoot too much a minigun/shotgun and a few other automatic weapons ?

[EchinoStarefish]

Much love for the easy fix, dawg. This has been bothering me for months.

[MaccaSwag]

now it wont connect at all xbox's frustrate me so much

[Richy0money]

@MaccaSwag your tape might be too thick.

[SaraAB87]

It works perfectly, I only put tape on the sides of the pack because my batteries fit really tight. If it is still disconnecting you should try different tape or maybe put an extra piece on each side of the pack.

[Richy0money]

@SaraAB87 some of the old batery packs were loose on the inside, too. but you make an interesting point. maybe microsoft is trying. anyone find this problem with newer controllers?

[SaraAB87]

@Richy0money I have the new controller, the Call of Duty MW3 one, it depends on the batteries you put inside because all batteries are a bit different in size. The pack was fine a couple months ago but yesterday it just started disconnecting but this solved it, the pack no longer moves around slightly.

Just saved me $50!

[KooGuh]

should i take the tape off while recharging the batteries or will it be fine? please respond.

[Richy0money]

@KooGuh as long as the batteries fit in the charger with the tape on them, they should be fine. however i dont use individual rechargeable batteries, so use your own discretion.

Wow, this actually works! Thank you!

[AceCream7]

sweet thnx

[jackrmcg]

but it only happens when i press the A button or right trigger, and i play cod so it is really often

[jackrmcg]

my controller disconects every few seconds so would this still work? ( i have checked the batteries)

[NickPwnsUTube]

not a perfect fix, mine still turns off when i put it on a hard surface.

great fix none the less. thanks.

[forceable25]

Works thanks man.

[Chris945450]

[NyithZ]

Good, concise tutorial. Trick worked perfectly; I'm no longer plagued by controller disconnects. Cheers mate :)

[jaggerjackize]

Thanx, it helped a lot

[xDelta6543x]

[DaKidIndian]

i fixed it by tying a piece of string REALLY tight around the controller on the top, to fix the pack to the controller, works like a charm

[Keanudabeast]

[wargames43]

[KrazyeOtF]

this is a great idea simple but who wouldve thought about that besides u :D 

[mauricebuchleitner]

Thanks Richy, This was genuinely annoying me! For those reading this, I tried with parcel tape, and it just didn't cut it! Electrical tape is the way to go! Thanks again!

[anth0789]

This trick actually worked for me.

Thanks for this! :)

[gillz107]

Thanks man! Damn controller keep disconnecting all the time. This method helps alot!

[TeamDaZeD2011]

thx u was just about to by a new controller

[deathjudge2006]

Thank you very much for the tip. I had to add 3 layers instead of 1 because all I have is scotch tape which is thinner. But it still worked so thank you.

[odehTV]

It worked i got that nice snug feeling goin on

[tom052884]

But then then after a month and a half the thing started disconnecting AGAIN even though it was connected STRAIGHT to the xbox. So of coarse I was like "Oh for fucks sake!" I was playing Mw2 one day and I was stalking this guy and I was about to jump off the stairs and 360 air knife him for an epic final killcam but then my controller disconnected and he turned around and shot me because I couldn't do anything and we lost the game. I threw that thing so hard at my wall there is now a huge dent.

[MuffedMuffins]

I bought that piece of shit red controller with rechargeable batteries. I treat my video game equipment like a baby but after a month of usage the battery pack wore out and didn't fucking work anymore, so i said ehh no prob I'll just use regular batteries with it. Then I was playing gta 4 one day and whenever I would fire my shotgun it would disconnect. Of coarse I was like... "Fuck is this shit?" So I just used the cord that came with it to plug it directly to the xbox....

[Richy0money]

@MrAnimeGuru sounds to me that it isn't just a loose connection, I've found xbox controllers to be notorious for loose connections, if that isn't the problem you may have faulty hardware, sorry this tip didn't help.
