Controller ports problem: No its not dead yet!!!

[vane77]

Hi Guys,

I found that every time when i set my dc to play and connect joypads- they refuse to work from the first time. I mean to make my controller work i have to disconnect and connect it again or just move the plug a little(without disconnecting it). After it starts to work without any problem. Just sometimes it can be disconnected again if i move the cable in the process of playing(very short disconnect for a second). I guess the problem is in the contacts between controllers and dc and its not a big deal, but anyway i'd like to fix it

Any advice?

Thanks!

Make sure there is no crap on either connecter, inside the controller port will be difficult to clean but try some rubbing alcohol and thin q-tips.

Hopefully it's just some stuff blocking it and not a hardware problem.
