360 Wireless Controller not charging.

[Mikeyman64]

Hey guys,
I've got a black wireless 360 controller that won't charge its battery when plugged into the "charge and play" cable. The cable works on my other controller, playing and charging away.

I've tried using the battery from the working controller with the same (non-charging) results.

The cable connects and syncs the controller just fine, but instead of the light staying red and then turning green when the battery is done charging, it turns green in about 2 seconds, regardless of which battery is in.

So the problem is obviously with the controller itself. Anybody have any ideas?

I think you blew the charging fuse somehow. Take it apart, it is a rectangle of fairly large size near the battery compartment. Test with a meter to see if it is working.

Or, post pics and I can point it out to you. Should be a simple solder bridge job.
