Monkeyking10101 Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 I just bought some paddle controllers, but they arent working properly. Neither of the paddles work, and only 1 button works. I've tried cleaning the contacts on the Atari and that didnt work. I tried blowing out the contact holes in the controller as well. I opened up the controller to look for loose wires but everything was in shape. Does anybody know what may be going on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+fdr4prez Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 the cable itself could be bad, or the connectors have a bad connection inside the molding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeyking10101 Posted November 27, 2019 Author Share Posted November 27, 2019 I'm thinking it might be getting a bad connection inside the molding. Is there any way to fix that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+fdr4prez Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Yup, replace the cable. They should be available from Best Electronics. Or cut off the connector and replace it with an off the shelf DB9 connector Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
