replace the batteries?

I tried that. No effect.

probably no help.  My controller did this once or twice and it was the battery pack at the back not making full contact, try pushing it about a bit.

That doesn't appear to help either...

Working with the AA battery pack or the rechargeable batteries?

Mine just did this.
The springs in the controller. .. pull them UP. They might have conpressed to far and not getting a solid connection.

Just slowly and gently stretch the two springs up.

It must be something internal, because none of this stuff is working. I can't get it open though, because it's held together with some sort of tamper-proof torx screw, and none of my torx drivers fit it. I'll probably just tattle to eBay and get my money back.

Ive had all my xbox controllers open to replace variius buttons and the like. ebay has plenty of auctions for xbox controller bits and the torx driver. however if its broken on delivery then its back to the seller
