controller turning off

[whitetop]

Not sure where to put this but I'll put it here and hope to not get in trouble.


Well I used to use a wired 360 controller to play my pc games but as always the wire gets in your way, so I went and got a 2rd hand reciver near new and a new controller from game station and never had problems till 3 weeks ago and I started getting dissconnection and had to turn my controller off and on again to get it working well its started turning itself off now and disables itself ingame leading me to quit and start the game back up.

I have googled and not really found my problem so I have to ask here does anyone know what this could be? as it's messing with my gaming.

moved to pc games so I might get a reply now.

I know there was a problem with the receivers where a fuse would blow inside but I think you wouldn't be able to re-link the controller after this had happened.

Have you got another 360 controller to test with?

I have 2 more and they do the same but I only started it after playing hl2 and not I started getting it on other games now.

Plus it's started saying low battery when they are new ones.
