The Wireless Charger Is Not Working for My Xbox 360

The wireless headset for the Microsoft Xbox 360 allows users to talk with other players in online games without having to connect to the headphone jack of the controller. The headset charges by connecting to an AC adapter designed for the purpose, and must be charged every few hours to maintain power. If your wireless headset charger isn't working, there are several troubleshooting steps you can take to remedy the problem.

Things You'll Need

New toothbrush
Clean cloth
Lighter fluid

Instructions

- 1
  Inspect the adapter port on the wireless headset to make sure it is free of debris that could prevent a proper connection with the AC adapter. Clear any blockages with the bristles of a new, dry toothbrush.
- 2
  Clean the jack plug on the AC adapter using a clean cloth moistened with lighter fluid, to ensure it is connecting to the headset properly.
- 3
  Touch the center of the wireless headset to gauge its temperature. If it's too hot or cold, it will not charge until the temperature returns to normal. Set it in a cool room for 30 minutes to an hour; then try connecting to the charger again.
