My laptop hates me. Again

[Serguei2]

Yesterday, I was playing with my gamepad on my laptop.

 

For no reasons, windows stopped recognizing my gamepad and it stopped working.

 

I unplugged and plugged my gamepad many times. No sign of life.

 

I first though the device was dead and I was planning to order a new one.

 

Today, I give it another try. Windows keeps saying recognize/non-recognize the gamepad.

 

Finally, it recognizes the gamepad and I can play it again.

 

 

I hate when win10 (or my laptop) hates me.

 

1) It won't play all mp4s I have until it crashes and needs to reinstall again.

    Now, it plays all mp4s again.

 

2) It won't allow me to compile my colecovision games with sound for odd reasons.

 

3) It won't recognize my gamepad for a whole day.

 

I wonder if I should throw out my laptop through the window and buy an old computer with win7 installed.

I discovered my gamepad is faulty today.

 

I noted the gamepad wire is the problem.

 

If I move the wire, I can use my gamepad. 

 

Once I release it, the gamepad stopped working.

 

It happens often with headphones but it's the first time it also happens with gamepads too.
