How to fix a controller?
I Used to play Sim all the time with a Universal Bus Xbox 360 Controller. Then it stopped working, which meant playing Sim with a keyboard
Anyway the controller keeps connecting and disconnecting all the time and my PC says the device is not recognized. Like the usb port stopped working. Any help would be great but until then, Keyboard Sim

Have you tried a different USB port to see if that works?

Re: How to fix a controller?
is the control a fixed wire or does it have a removable cable? My usb cables I use on my ps3 controller for sim break internally every few months and do that same thing.

Re: How to fix a controller?
Had this problem, its the cables that are internally breaking due to sharp folding them, really no way to fix it, and it will eventually stop working completely. What I did was buy a new one, depends where you live it can be $25-$30 for a Microsoft wired Xbox controller. Next time, don't go folding the cable and it should last you a while.EthanPurchase07 wrote:I Used to play Sim all the time with a Universal Bus Xbox 360 Controller.
