Xbox 360 How do I charge a newly bought Xbox 360 controller?

[roywhj]

I just bought a new Xbox 360 controller with a play and charge kit, but when I plug in the controller the light on the charger instantly goes from red to green without charging. It obviously does need charged because I just bought it and it won't turn on by itself unless it is plugged in. Am I forgetting something?

That is really odd but I guess I would just leave it plugged in for about 8 hours and see if it works the way it is supposed to. If not then the controller is probably defective and I would exchange it at the store for a new one.

That's odd. Try brining it back. It might be broken.

curious, Do you have a battery pack in it or the one with the actually batteries that you need to change?
