    Try opening it up and just cleaning it. I've fixed many controllers that way. Usually it's something like soda pop getting in there and drying up. Use alcohol.

    Now only if repairing the 2nd controller port was that easy to fix
    I'm pretty sure all you need to do to repair a DC controller port is a fuse replacement...

    Although if I can get the 2nd port working again I'll be bringing it to the dorm for some epic 4 player action.
