I have 2 controllers I bought online. That both showed up dead, none of the buttons or sticks worked. Tried multiple ports and GameCubes that I know work with other controllers so I know its not the ports or the consoles. I went through and cleaned all the pads, buttons and the board with 91% Alc but nothing has changed. The only thing I haven’t tried is swapping the cable.
Would it be worth swapping the cable with one from a controller I know that works (I am confident in my soldering skills) or could there be another issue causing this. I could try a continuity test with my multi meter to see if there’s a break in any of the cables.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
