was on xbox website and finally found what it might be, if you dont use it for a few months it might take up to 5 full charges to get it working properly again as it hasnt been used for so long, thanks for your reply though, i had tried that and it hadnt worked but now i know why.

mine goes flat very fast, only stays working for a few hours, so most of the time its usually plugged in.

I have another "swordfish" brand play and charge cable, not as long a cable but it charges when the console is off, and last a lot longer.

Here's how i solved it, hope it helps....
