It just fried my PS2 controller! Tonight I was playing Suikoden III with a perfectly-working controller. I stood up to grab something off a shelf with the controller in my hand, when suddenly a HUGE static shock connected my pointer finger with the PS2 controller around the L1 button. At that point it started going haywire, with the cursor (I was on the menu screen at the time) moving constantly across each menu option with no way of stopping it. I tried unplugging it and plugging it back in with the same result. I reset the game, and on the main menu it did the same thing (except vertically this time). Whenever I used my backup controller, the game worked normally.
Has anyone else ever had this happen to them? If so, is there anything that can be done to repair it or is it gone for good? :-(
