Charge Wireless Controller

It's not a simple matter of wiring up a USB connector as the Play & Charge Kit contains more than just some plugs.

If by 'works great' ya mean it's not charging a PnC battery pack like the PnC cable does, then you're right.

The controller will only half work with the cable done up that way, and all you've really done is turned the thing into a Wireless-Wired controller, so 'works great' is an understatement at best. The PnC cable is more than just a USB cable.

It's not charging the battery just running the 5v in there, check it genius, I did, and long before I posted a reply in here or you had that 'bright idea' to try it, plus I've traced out the PnC cable circuit and the charging circuit inside the controller, so I'm not the one talking out my arse here as I know how it works, but feel free to show me what ya did since it works so great for ya.

I asked ya to show it, plus I never said I know everything. I'm not at all above learning something new, but I have to see it in order to do that and if ya have a battery in the controller it's not going to blink the low battery status at ya until it is. I'm noticing you're more keen on arguing the point than showing the work ya did, or even describing it in detail, which is odd because if ya have time to argue then ya have time to post specifics and if ya honestly have to have someone ask so ya feel needed or whatever, then can you please post exactly what you did in detail? Pics would be nice also. I'm curious as to why/how this is working on only your controllers.

Your camera has a Macro Mode (little Flower icon) if it's not on make sure it's turned on and don't get any closer than 6in. or so to the object, with the Marco mode off ya have to be around 2ft. from the object for it to focus. Also digital cameras take much better pics outside in sunlight or somewhere close to a window where it can be used for the light source.

Another trick is to let it focus, then back up just a tad. A lot of times the camera will focus on the table or background and ya get a blurry pic, letting it focus and then moving before ya snap the pic will get ya a better looking pic sometimes too.
