Dead controllport

Post by FryGuy »

Im having some trouble with my DC

After i used it for like 30-60minutes it says it can't find the controllers (It doesn't help to reconnect it) I have to reboot and then it works. But this is very annoying.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Hmm.. but i think its a bit weird that i works for a while?
Shouldn't the controllerports be completly dead if the resistor is fried?

no, not necessarily. Ive had the same problem before and i can safely say that replacing the resistor worked for me.
