Cool video about xbox 360 wireless controller - have a look:
This video shows the suggested method of bypassing the f1 fuse that Eding1 had suggested as a fix on this forum. www.fixya.com Bypassing fuses is generally a bad idea, a VERY bad idea. If you are unwilling to take the risk of damage to your computer and or USB hub and or the circuitry in the wireless receiver, then do not perform this method.

Great thanks, worked like a charm, used a small copper wire and some solder
I also successfully bridged the fuse using a small dot of solder. Thanks for the fix.
Thanks a ton! Thought I would have to go buy a new controller but this fix did the trick.
Thank you a lot!
This is the first time I’ve ever used a soldering iron, and the receiver is working perfectly! I’m so happy
Thanks mon.
WOW THIS HELPS!!!!
thank you very much!
@crackerele Well I think I will never unplug it now…
@PhantomT1412 same here
i wanna thanks you for the method, i have made this for 1 year allready, the receiver is always connected to the computer(usb) (24/7) and i have no problem what so ever whit my rig or the receiver => the method it’s not risky at all, even if you let the receiver connected 24/7. Wish you and everyone else Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year from Romania.
works like a charm!!! nice one thanks
I confirm : IT WORKS, and no sign of damage for my laptop, thx a lot man, saved me 20€
I found it easier to just bridge the gap with a dot of solder, being the gap is so small. Took 10 seconds to do & works perfectly.
Usually a fuse blows for a reason, so while I’m fairly confident this fix will cause no harm, I recommend only plugging in the receiver when you game. That way you can keep an eye on it. Conversely unplugging it when your not using it.
Thank you so much for this! IT REALLY WORKS! AMAZING!
This worked for me, and my computer hasn’t fried yet so its all good
Parkinson is outside your door.
Thanks for the guide, but answer me something. Is there any possibility that this thing could damage my PC in any way? GatecrasherSlim said something about damage.. but I don’t know if he is 10y/o and lying for fun.
Answer me with chances or facts dude.. I cant risk losing something bigger..

BE CAREFUL!! I just fried my computer doing this – booted the system back up and it said “warning – over-voltage detected – shutting down in 15 seconds”
My comp has now booted, but hard drive seems to be going crazy and everything is a little choppy… prob the CPU taken a hard hit because of this symptom i assume
i fixed it with a bit of tin foil and some sellotape, basically doing what he did in the video but the toolless way
works a treat
Thank you so much
… You saved 20 bucks . You’re genius man 
This worked beautifully.
Thank you.
Also, I found a solution for getting the generic gaming receivers to work in Windows 7: Search the microsoft answers site for: “windows 7 will not recognize that i have installed the driver for my MICROSOFT xbox wireless gaming reciever”
This solution worked for me, if it tells you to create a shortcut for your xbox64_eng.exe and use “Windows Server 2008 SP1″ Compatibility mode, Run as Administrator, then its the right solution.
I cut myself like a retard but YOU are a genius!!!
shakey hands.
I think I don’t have a choice but to try this fix. Mine stopped working also and it seems that Microsoft has basically discontinued this product. It’s impossible to find. All I’ve found are the generic ones, but I can’t get those to work in Windows 7.
i dont have any soldering tool or any skill..still can i fix my dead receiver pls?
tnx man it woked
happy me
@hoopsdowntown12 I think the chance of the actual receiver taking it’s last breath is higher than anything else
