Help Xbox wirless controller...
Edit- found the problem and solution..
Wish I knew this 6months ago...I had a similar problem altho my RB button would not work sometimes, I thought my controller was dying...I've got so so pissed that I had threw my controller against a wall and broke it completely...Oh well
I would've been $60 richer or a owner of two controllers instead of 1 
Ok, so I'll try and explain the circumstances as simply as possible... I went out of town for a couple of weeks and left my 360 console and all the games at a friends house (these have already been stolen from me a couple of times at my apt). I hid the controllers at home because I didn't want them to get damaged when they were transported.
Since I have gotten back the controllers will not charge anymore. I have rechargeable battery paks and a plug'n'play wire. Whenever I hook it up the light shows up as green (instead of red, like it did before) and the controller works whenever it is plugged up, but dies as soon as I remove it.
I don't think there is anything wrong with the batterie paks or the plug'n'play since it worked just fine before. Has this happened to anyone else and if so suggestions would be highly appreciated.

To fix this problem plug in your controller (the red light should come on for a few seconds) when the green light comes on unplug the controller and plug it in again, continue this process until the red light stays on. This can take any where from 10-30 times till it works, the reasoning behind this?
Ni-Mh battery's loose 30% charge in this first day with no use, then the charge rate decreases and will completely discharge at room temperature in about 30 days. The problem that you have ran into is that the battery is so slow that it wont except a charge. The capacitance of the battery its self is changing polarity to a near neutral when it reaches such a dead point. By forcing the recharge on the battery over and over again you are giving the battery enough of a charge to allow it to recharge as per normal again.
I hope this helps you and any one else who comes across this problem!
