Xbox 360 Play & Charge Kit

[Art Vandalaay]

I just used the Xbox 360 Play & Charge Kit for the first time and I cant disconnect it from my controller, it just feels that it will break every time I try to pull it out, is there something I should be doing to make it disconncet or should it it just pull out easily

 

[Redman_5]

LOL... i just pull it out.

 

[DarkEntity]

Just give it a firm but controlled tug and it will come out.

 

[michaelT1888]

DONT it might explode

 

[Kycleung]

Yeh I found this the first time I charged my controller. Just give it a firm tug, then pull from under the connector.

Tie it to door handle, then slam the door.





Or is that for removing teeth.......

 

[mminghella]

Sorry, but all of this talk of giving things a firm tug makes me think of "Carry on XBOX 360".

Mine charges in standby, but first connect the controller while the console is on. I didn't realise, closed the cabinet doors, woke up to find my AV cab had become an oven!

I have noticed that with my rechargeable battery, I get a faint green light on the bottom right quadrant of the controller when it's not in use. Has anyone else had that?

 

[wormvortex]

i can see it too, at night in the dark.

 

[Kycleung]

Yep I can see this too, only in the dark though. The 2nd and 3rd quadrants are dimly light. Once I take out the rechargeable batteries, the lights completely go out.

You can charge the pad in standby mode and when its charged the 360 will turn itself off.

 

[wormvortex]

you can charge the 360 wireless controller using the ipod lead remember reading it somewhere. Obviously not planned but apparently works

 

[Daddy k]

can someone describe standby?

do u mean on the menu screens?

Hold down the xbox guide button until a menu appears on the right, then select shutdown/turn off console at the top (from memory, could be worded differently). It will charge your battery and then turn itself off

 

[Daddy k]

so normal turn off then.
mmm ill check if my play n charge charges when in this state. im sure it didnt before
