Microsoft MS Xbox 360 Common Controller (DHC8G00004) Logo
Posted on Aug 29, 2009

I have the same problem Xbox controller flashes once then nothing

I know this usually means the batteries are dead so I bought some panasonic batteries swapped the batteries and again same problem (I decided these batteries musn't be powerful enough), I was then given some duracell batteries, decided these must have been old because again same problem. So I went out and spent a small fortune on some Energizer Ultra+ batteries and again same problem. Help, I now have a draw full of batteries! : )

My panasonic nv gs90 wont turn on . Why ?

This camera is 30 years old and if it has not been used regularly, will have suffered irrepairable damage from leaking components internally.
Take it to an authorised Panasonic repair shop for evaluation.

I bought my panasonic PT-60LCX64 big screen from costco about 2001. at that time panasonic was offering live time mantainance on certain tvs, I used it once, and over the years of moving I have lost my...

Live time maintenance means, they will do maintenance, as far as the TV is live. Nothing more.
Now the TV is dead. It is not live at all. So no maintenance contract too.
They offered only maintenance. Not a free repair; you see!!

My XBOX controller keeps disconnecting randomly and I don't know why. I have already replaced the batteries multiple times and nothing is working. PLEASE HELP!

I would try some basic trouble shooting, seeing if this controller does the same thing on multiple Xboxes, or if this xbox does it with multiple controllers. Once you have the source of the issue isolated you can truly solve the problem. If it is a defective controoller/xbox, microsoft is usually pretty good with their warranty policy. It could also be a problem with the end port of the controller, that is the piece that connects one end of the controller to the USB cable which goes directly into the box. I would try swapping that as well.

What happens when the the Xbox controler keeps on flashing

this means that you need to press the connect button on the controller and the xbox, it means it has lost communication to the xbox, either the battery has run down or it is not charging correctly to stay connected.....hope this helped

Wireless xbox 360 controller

Hey Pete,

Xbox 360 controllers do not have that problem very often and you know what happens to me sometimes. I change the batteries and the controller still doesn't turn on. Turns out the batteries that i replaced had no juice on it. Make sure you are using the right kind of batteries too meaning don't cheap out and use the ones you get at 99c stores or anything like that. Those will work by the way they will not last more two days. Buy new batteries.
