Xbox 360 controller problem

[eleventy]

Problem is the battery "block" is broken. It came apart and when I tried to get it back together the little spring shot behind the counter and is gone. I looked at my other controller and the block is cracked. Are these supposed to come apart? Has anyone else had this problem? Any fixes?

Thanks

Had the same problem. Just taped the battery back together and it worked fine but it was annoying. I eventually picked up a play and charge kit which replaces the back and it works sooo much better. It's sturdier since you're not constantly taking it apart and they're alot more convienant.
