Ok, so, I've had my Megaman X GC controller since the day it came out, and since then it has worked like a charm...until the other day. I'm playing Brawl on the Wii with it, as I have done many times before, and all of a sudden, it stops working mid-game. I plug it in and take it a few times, and still no response. Every other GC controller I have works fine, so I know it's not the port in my Wii. So I gave up on it, and tried again another day. Start up Brawl, it's all loaded up, and I plug in my Megaman controller, and my Wii powers off.......WTF. If I then press the pwoer button again, my Wii LOSES POWER. Yes, that's right, the light goes completely off, and I have to unplug and plug in my adapter to the back of the Wii. I didn't even know a controller could DO that!
The collective minds of myself, Joe, and Murphy couldn't figure out this lunacy, so maybe one of you guys can. I know Murph opened it up, and all the solders were fine, and he put the heat gun on them just to make sure they were good.
I'm at a loss, and this is my favorite controller of all times. What do you guys think?
