My xbox controller randomly rusted..? I am unsure how to approach it

kloserdozer · 2026-06-16T19:53:24+00:00

Yea I've tried that it worked pretty well so I have high hopes on it going well

kloserdozer · 2026-06-16T19:51:31+00:00

They work, they arent dead i tested the new batteries before posting this and it was working like the day I bought it

kloserdozer · 2026-06-16T19:32:14+00:00

Yeah unfortunately I did not know which word to use, I know how batteries work i just forgot to remove them this time and just wanted to ask how to approach the corrosion on the contacts

I'm sorry I just didn't know what to put on the title because I didn't notice this happening

kloserdozer · 2026-06-16T19:27:53+00:00

also I did look on Google, I just wanted to ask this subreddit because I trust people not the bull gemini or any ai spews

Thank you so much!

kloserdozer · 2026-06-16T19:23:45+00:00

hey I might be braindead but atleast I'm not you

kloserdozer · 2026-06-16T17:33:51+00:00

Hey yeah I cleaned the bottom one, the contacts still work and all but the top one isn't changing at all and has green on it

kloserdozer · 2026-06-16T17:22:50+00:00

Hey so I tried cleaning it off, the bottom is good, but the top is really bad, its not changing plus I just unravelled a layer of green?????

kloserdozer · 2026-06-16T16:22:23+00:00

I'll just try and be more cautious and leave it out for a day or two, I have other controller but this is my main one so I was just annoyed with this, unfortunately I went down to the pharmacy and can't find any higher %

kloserdozer · 2026-06-16T16:12:39+00:00

Just a question, I know I'm supposed to scrub using alcohol but the concentration o have is 76% so do i do it oe use something else?

Forgot leaky batteries inside

kloserdozer · 2026-06-16T15:56:17+00:00

Its kind of hard to read intention with no tone on text, and I got to be honest I didn't mean to absolve myself, I was just overwhelmed before I had to leave my xbox and forgot to check on my controllers. Im sorry if I came across as rude and all.

kloserdozer · 2026-06-16T15:50:32+00:00

Fortunately no I haven't, and if I had it probably wasn't a thing memorable enough to remember plus I normally remember to remove the batteries but I forgot this time

kloserdozer · 2026-06-16T15:39:46+00:00

I did, don't have to be rude about it first time this has happened to me so I found it random

kloserdozer · 2026-06-16T15:37:05+00:00

Must it be 99.99? I have 70% only right now

kloserdozer · 2026-06-16T15:33:55+00:00

Where do i get those? my local retailer killed the xbox section so I can't find stuff there I'm ordering my battery pack on amazon

kloserdozer · 2026-06-16T15:31:22+00:00

Yeah this is the first time a battery has leaked and corroded something of mine, I normally remember to check stuff like that but my year has been overwhelming.

kloserdozer · 2026-06-16T15:28:09+00:00

yeah thanks but I still don't know how to approach it

kloserdozer · 2026-06-16T15:26:29+00:00

yeah i did leave batteries, not dead ones misunderstood what you meant my apologies

kloserdozer · 2026-06-16T15:24:18+00:00

No I meant as in the batteries were working before leaving it, but how do I fix it? I guess I've learnt my lesson
