I'm playing Perfect Dark right now and every now and then the ring of light on my controller swiches from lighting up quadrant one to alternating flashes of quadrats 1 & 4 and 2 & 3. What's it mean? Is my battery running low?

 

[Ghost]

Isnt this what a manual is for?

 

[DarienA]

Most of GAF can't f'n read manuals...

 

[shantyman]

Isnt this what a manual is for?

:lol

It reminds me of GAF medical advice threads.

 

[hgplayer1]

friend invites? extra terrestrials? phone call?

 

[Jerkface]

There is a carbon monoxide detector in the controller.

Not on Live right now.

 

[DarienA]

Not on Live right now.

Is your manual near you? Somewhere between your keyboard and your X360 controller?

 

[vas]

Not on Live right now.

Probably telling you it's about to break.

This thread is more about "hey, I got this new shit" than it is asking for advice.

Not really. I'm just playing PD0 and don't want to look it up.

But you can take the time to stop playing the game and post on this forum?

Goddamn no wonder people consider VG players to be lazy no life scum...

[Meier]

Well he has a laptop with a wireless card, so he's just sitting on the couch right now. And yeah, Obi is a lazy piece of shit!

 

[maynerd]

So you came here asking information about the Xbox 360, a console that probably 99% of us do not own.

You came here to brag. Admit it.

:lol :lol :lol

 

[BlueTsunami]

It means your Xbox360 wants sex

 

[M3wThr33]

The sucky-player-detector is going off.

Also, going by cartestian coordinates, the numbering pattern for the quads is
1|2
4|3

Edit:
God Dammit. I'm stupid. I'll leave it wrong so I can be ridiculed.

Your CD burning project is done.

[DaCocoBrova]

The hate in this thread is strong.

 

[StrikerObi]

Well I just checked the manual, smart asses, and it's not in there.

It's not even my console. It's my roommate's. He won it in the Every 10 Minutes contest. I know a lot of people here won them in that contest, so I was hoping one of them would know.

You check the game manual or the system manual? I'd check the system one.

[Suerte]

It means... IT'S GONNA BLOW!

 

[monkeyrun]

[VictimOfGrief]

More like.... "Hey Look I'm a dumbshit but I can't figure how I got this way?" :lol

[..pakbeka..]

it's the couch potato detector, and it looks like it's working properly

 

[DarienA]

[mr_sockochris]

Fixed

 

[StrikerObi]

So, does anybody have an answer for this yet?

 

[Blimblim]

I think it's the low battery indicator. One of my 2 batteries is faulty and won't charge, and I always get this flashing in the middle of the controller. It's not documented anywhere I could see.

 

[Warnen]

charge the batts then press that little button on the back on the controller while it is near your X360 to reset it to work for that console.

 

[StrikerObi]

Aren't the controllers support to report to the system and flash an on-screen warning when your battery is low?

 

[RunWhiteBoyRun]

I have a different question, that I also RTFM'ed.. when I shut down the system, on my wireless controllers, the 2nd quadrant comes on very dimly.. is it a stanby mode or something?

 

[Wario64]

sounds like a bunch of jealous gaffers in this thread...

Hmmm, is your second controller plugged in with a battery pack? If so it means it's charging and the 360 will completely power off when it's charged.

 

[shpankey]

wow, GAF is a bunch of meanies

 

[bigNman]

I think it's the low battery indicator.

So when the batteries are low the controller turns into a light show? Thats real smart.

:lol i doubt it drains anything. i have a wireless optical mouse that i got 6 months ago that has been sitting at low level laser out and its still not dead yet.

<----- 1% and by luck at that. i feel special.

The second wireless controller, my roommates, runs off regular batteries and he pulls the pack out when done. My wireless is recognized as the first controller, and has a batter pack in it.. but it's not connected to the charger when I turn it off, and get that dim 2nd quadrant light
