4300 Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 May just need to be taken apart and cleaned. Possibly cold solder joints. Had both issues with my old controllers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0078265317 Posted January 24, 2019 Author Share Posted January 24, 2019 I opened it up. There was a bunch of dried bugs and stuff inside. I cleaned it and Still no dice. Maybe the cable is bad but it looks soldered on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0078265317 Posted January 24, 2019 Author Share Posted January 24, 2019 Try testing the cord with a mm if you have one. How? Yes I have 2 laying around somewhere. I got to find them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxpressed Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 This Goodwill find is turning into a white elephant quickly. It seems like you could have bought a tested, working one with all the accessories for what you've paid for this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4300 Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Try testing the cord for continuity. One end of the mm at the solder points inside the controller, the other at the plug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 1 broken controller. Rest is all good. Plus i t was only 2 dollars and 25 cents with free shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
