XBOX problem

[jonjandran]

My xbox will randomly say "please reconnect controller" when the controller is plugged in. And then the controller stops responding.
I have 7 different controllers , so I know it's not that.
I've reset the hard drive and that didn't help.
Now I've got new controller ports and a daughter card on the way.

Any other ideas ?

Those ports and daughter card a just about gauranteed to do the trick. As long as the parts are good.

Well they're " supposed to be " .
So the main controller ports hardware is on the daughter card.
Theres not a controller IC on the main motherboard that could have gone bad ?

I'm pretty sure that it's all on the daughter card. Some of the newer version Xboxes lack the daughter card I think. I'm not 100% sure about that.
