A Xbox controller started smoking
OK so I was playing Fallout 4 when I noticed that my controller has always tried to make my character to get, he thought I was pressing upward into the right stick. I thought it was the batteries and them has changed three times. The controller turned off and I could not managed to return. After trying several times I noticed that there is a small amount of smoke out there. I had already heard something rattling inside the controller and proceeded to see what type of screwdriver, I needed. In doing so, I drilled the sticker inside. Is that what I can do with Microsoft to get a new controller?
I suggest you ask either in the Xbox Forums: http://forums.xbox.com/default.aspx or Xbox support: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/

Xbox controller 360 + Logitech Gaming Headset G330
Extremely frustrated here... After you have reinstalled XP many times for two days, I decided the issue.
First of all, General information - had a Logitech G330 Gaming Headset for Christmas. It uses generic Audio XP USB drivers, so no disk drivers (unfortunately, in this case...). Pluged it didn't work properly - sounded HORRIBLE; scrambled, staticky, comments... all in audio, headphones and microphone.
Reinstalled XP, set windows to update all, headset still does not work! Reinstalled AGAIN, and it worked. Installed all the drivers one by one, making sure my helmet still worked. Installed SP3 without a hitch. More installed updates to windows. Then, I installed my drivers of wired Xbox 360 controller from the Microsoft site... and boom, the headset sucks again!
Now, I play a LOT of pc games. HOW can I still use my 360 controller without breaking the functionality of my new Logitech headset? If she is to install the drivers for the controller without the audio drivers for it, or something that makes the 360 controller audio port does not work, the quality of the sound is me... it is always lower than normal, at best... new helmet is clear.
Edit - since he did not save my last edit... Yes, I did do a system restore and back when he was working. 360 controller not well yet.
Absolute worst case, I can see if I can get third-party drivers to work as XBCD and Xpadder, but last I checked, that they did not work with the 360 controller...
Here are a few other experiences with the Xbox controller and the solution that I found:

Windows 7 x 64: driver problems a wireless Xbox controller
When I connect the Xbox controller to the computer via micro-USB cable, Windows Update searches for a driver, but no driver is found. When I plug the controller after installation of the failed pilot system, the controller vibrates and the computer says that there is a problem. In Device Manager, the controller is labeled as controller. I looked on the official website of Microsoft for drivers so that I could update the driver manually, but the only free software is of technical manuals.
Why Windows Update does not find a driver to install, and how could I solve this problem?
