All My Xbox 360 Wireless Controllers for Windows w/ Charge & Play Stopped Charging

Hey Optiores2! Is the Xbox 360 controller you are using wired or a wireless controller connected through a Charge and Play kit? The Charge and Play kit will not enable a wireless Xbox 360 controller to be used on a Windows device. For full details check

Setting Up an Xbox 360 Controller for Windows.

I'll try to be clearer: (Sorry my bad English)

1 - I bought the kit;

2 - I bought the Xbox 360 Wireless Gaming Receiver for Windows (I want to play wirelessly on my PC);

3 - Wireless Receiver on my PC + Xbox Wireles Controller = OK. Works very well. Play Batman Arkham City =)

4 - Battery Empty!! Ohh and now? Who can help me? tan-daaannnn.... The Kit Play & Charge!!!

5 - I put the charge cable in PC, and then in controller. The 4 lights flash;

6 - Appears "Xbox 360 Wireless Controller via Play & Charge Kit" in Device Manager;

7 - Wireless connection stops working;

8 - Oh! No! Kit sucks. Stop play (Joker liked). Charge. Green light. Unplug. No synchronization. I have to reconnect my controller.

=(

For me: driver issue. =(

Hello im tring to hook up my xbox 360 controller with charge cord....

H,

That's your problem, right there. Unfortunately, if you connect your wireless Xbox 360 controller with a charging cable, all your doing is charging the controller.

The 360 wireless controller can't be turned into a wired controller with the charging cable as neither the controller or the wire were designed to send data this way.

You either need 360 wired controller or an Xbox One controller. Xbox One controllers can use wired or wireless, but wireless is only supported via Windows 10.

Hope that helps.

I am guessing the controller is a wired controller as the Wireless controller with Wireless PC adapter comes with drivers on a DVD in the box which work with Windows 8 (I use them myself).

As mentioned earlier by IceStorm III, a wireless controller with a Play and Charge kit won't work as that play and charge kit only carries power to charge/run a wireless controller with your Xbox 360.

If it is indeed a wired Xbox 360 controller you are trying to use with Windows 8 you can use the Windows 7 drivers which you can download here:

The Play and Charge kit will charge your controller's battery pack. It will not connect the controller to your PC. You need the wireless gaming receiver for that. support.xbox.com/.../xbox-360-wireless-gaming-receiver-windows
