    Xbox 360 charging cord not working/acting bizarre?


    I bought the charging kit about a year ago so I understand that it is a little "old" in electronics age. The cord is a nyko brand and it came with 2 replacement battery packs. So far I have had no issue with the charging cord, but recently it just stopped
    working altogether. When I plug the cord into either usb port on my xbox or into the charging dock (also nyko bought recently (last week I believe)), the cord flashes (either red or green but most of the time flashes green) and then proceeds to not work. It
    is as though the controller recognizes that the charger is there, but does not allow for the battery to be charged. This occurs in the three controllers I own. It also allows for the controller to be played with when the battery is removed completely, but
    if the battery is installed, the charger acts as though the controller is not connected and stops working again.

    The charger will not charge any of the 4 battery packs I own (the two bought recently and the two that are a little over a year old). I have owned the xbox for about 2 years now, but it was given to me as a gift from a friend who just bought a new xbox 360,
    and therefore I believe to be roughly 6+ years old. The behavior from the charging cord is quite bizarre in my opinion, but I figured I would ask the help of those more versed in the xbox world. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

    If any other information is necessary, please feel free to ask as well.

    :)

    Charger cord not doin it's job

    Recently my charging cord stopped working. Through process of elimination I narrowed it down to the cord itself. Bought a new kit and it's been working fine since.

    Xbox 360 charging cord not working/acting bizarre?

    It is entirely possible that the issue lays with the batteries. If you tried to charge them without waiting for them to be fully drained they would develop what is known as a "Charge Memory". This means that each time you try the batteries would charge
    a little less until finally they wouldn't charge at all.

    The issue here though is that the Nyko system is a 3rd party system that Xbox does not support so not much is known about 3rd party items would normally interact with the console. I would recommend seeing if the cable would work on a friends console to
    rule out console issues.

    Xbox One Play and Charge Kit

    My play and charge kit is working and lasting fine on the Xbox One. And for the 360 I used the play and charge kit briefly, and i did not like the cords. So I switched to the quick charge kit. I found that to be far more satisfactory than the play and
    charge.

    can i use the kit load and play xbox 360 on pc to play?

    If you are talking about the USB adapter cord that comes with the Xbox 360 Play & Charge Kit, and if you can plug it into your computer for play, then no, it is not possible.

    The USB adapter cord that comes with the Play & Charge kit is only designed for charging the battery. In order to use a wireless Xbox 360 controller on the PC for play, you must get the Xbox 360 USB wireless gaming receiver.

    Xbox360 Controller USB Incompatibility with PC

    The play and charge cord for the Xbox 360 is only used for powering the controller and charging the included battery. It does not transfer data.

    If your 360 controller is the wireless model, you will have to get a USB Xbox 360 wireless receiver for the PC. This is what actually connects your controller to the PC.
