What just happened to my XBox controller?

[XPav]

Sitting here, on the couch, browsing QT3, XBox on, but being ignored.

Controller next to me just starts VIBRATING as hard as it can for no reason.

I pull and replace the battery.

It no longer turns on.

Huhwah?

Look at the bottom. You'll see a little switch. It's okay by default, but I think yours got switched from "Good" to "Evil".

Swap in a different battery? Also, try restarting your xbox.

You downloaded the viral marketing patch for the new ghostbusters game?

[Angrycoder]

thats not a controller.

[Juste]

I've had that happen. Switching batteries and restarting the Xbox did the trick for me.

Perhaps your significant other was fooling around on Live...

Mmm, rumbly.

Wow, that's pretty Demolition Man!

I am saddened that I get that reference.
