i have a wired xbox 360 controller and it had a shortage in it . so i fix the shortage now the controller wont come on.i got me a new usb breakaway cord and it still wont work.how do i fix it without buying a new one
well depends on how you shorted it out now this works for a lot of corded things like keyboard wires electrical wires your gonna want to go to the inside of the wire where there shood be three wires positive negative and copper if any of these are damaged in the slightest your gonna want cut the wire in half and take their inner wires and twist both ends of the cut wire and twist them together and wrap electrical tape around them do this for each wire now only do this if an other process dosnt work or your desperate granted it does work i personally have done this with electrical cords mouse wires printer wires this process will get the electrical current flowing again so this may work with you corded controller again depends on what you did to short it out now here's the simple answer it may jus be old all controllers have an expiration date in some way hoped i helped
