One of my controllers suddenly stopped working in the middle of a Mario cart race. I finished the race with the other controller so the port is fine. Buttons/joystick don’t do anything and plugging into port 1 shows no controller detected. Not sure how this could happen suddenly with no drops or yanks just dead. Tried to test the wires in the cable and the white /middle wire seems to show no conntenuity. How do I remove the plug though?
Do you mean the wire? If so, it’s connected to the board by a 4-pin poke in connector on the back of the board. The only disassembly step required to access it is removing the back plate. If you do intend to replace it, you will need another controller to get a cable from, most likely.
