if you think this help please rate me sir thank you so much!!!

The Xbox 360 controller only works on a PC if you have the Xbox Wireless Receiver for the PC or if you have a wired Xbox controller. If you are using the Play-and-Charge cable with a wireless controller, it will only charge the battery.

Sorry, the P&C kit delivers power for charging the controller only, no data is transmitted via the cable.
To use an XBox 360 Wireless receiver with a Windows PC, you need the "XBox 360 Wireless Receiver for Windows".

if your trying to use the controller to play games on your pc you cant unless u buy the microsoft adapter wireless gaming adapter for your computer, if your trying to just charge it, you just connect the charge cable to your usb drive and windows will automaticly find the drivers.

it seems like the charge cable isnt charging the pack. have u tried using an alternate charging method like a charge stand? or try on another controller, if it still doesnt work on another controller, its your charge cable.

my xbox joystick this spot of cable is broke and i dont know what is sequece of colours in cable?

Try this:

hook them up using the play-and-charge usb cable

Then, disconnect the cable.

they should stay synchronized and worked fine after that.

Hello my name is Tim Ehrhart, If the reciever is not lighting up then it is dead, you can try to take it to walmart and exchange it for a working one, they are usualy good at swapping out and if they give you a hard time buy a new one and return it with the old reciever instead of the new one. I hope this helps you.

HI perform a system restore to before you installed the drivers
(start,Run System restore)
then reinstall them

should work :)

please rate .

Hi,
these can take between 4-12 hours to fully charge.
And will only charge with the lead connected from the controller to the USB Port on the 360 Console.
