Corroded Xbox one controller

The metal parts for the battery to connect have something blue and grey on them. I believe it is rusted. I havent used the controller for a few months and the batteries werent loaded in. Is there any way to remove the rust so that my controller can work.

Hi Rahesh,

Let me begin by saying that the following IS NOT endorsed by Microsoft and I cannot warrant any damage that may be caused to the controller through this process.

It sounds to me like battery corrosion which is a pretty common problem in any consumer electronic device that uses batteries.

Here's a good video which goes through the steps you will need to take to clean this:

Best of luck. And remember that not enough is better than too much.
