if you leave ya pc on at night just plug it into the usb port on that if not try another port on the 360 see if it works that way

when u plug it in, if the console is switched off, it wont work at all. start the 360 up, then try it. once the red light comes on, on the charger, switch off the 360, it will stop charging for a second then will contuine, you will hear the fans on the 360 running very slowly

the red light doesn't come on the first time you charge.

didn't on mine and i have 2. i checked to see if they were charging by the dashboard battery indicator.
