He is trying to play on the PC with it, so charging won't do any good. The Play and Charge kit only transmits energy to the controller, not information. :P
I, of course, don't know, but are you positive about that? At my LAN center we use play and charge to get the right controllers to the right xboxes, even when we don't have battery packs in them.
The Xbox 360 is built to support the 360 gamepad right out of the box. When you plug in a charger to the wireless controller that doesn't have a battery pack, the charger acts as the battery, and thus the controller has the power to turn on. The charge kit also makes sure that the controller you're using is hooked up to the right console, but I think that's due to the characteristics of the console. Eh, I'm not sure.
Plus, what's the point of having a wireless gamepad if you're going to have to have it plugged in a charger at all times?
