    Wired Xbox 360 Controller Not Responding In Any USB Port


    Hi,

    I've been using a wired Xbox 360 controller periodically for around three years now and have hardly ever had issues with it, until a couple of days ago where it suddenly stopped working. When I plug it into a USB port on my Dell Studio 1749 laptop (running Windows 7 64 bit) nothing happens; none of the quadrant lights come on and the controller doesn't seem to appear anywhere in Device Manager. I've tried plugging it into other USP ports with the same result.
    I got it to work once briefly yesterday, but have had no luck since.

    I don't think the USB port is the problem as I've plugged other devices into it, including a portable Hard Drive and a Wacom Tablet and these both worked fine.

    Please help.

    Sounds like it has died, do you have a friends computer to just plug it into and see if windows can even see it?

    Thanks rvcjew,

    Unfortunately I don't have access to another computer at present but it sounds as though I'm probably better off getting a new one.
