Dual Shock 2 - weird problem
Posted: August 27th, 2015, 11:25 pm
Hi
My DS2 suddenly stopped working. I tried to clean it but it didn't work out so i plugged it into PS -> PC converter and found out, in Windows controller properties, that whole D-Pad and action buttons [triangle, circle, square and X] are pressed together. Only these.
Also i found out, that DS2 has some weird button placed on PCB between square and start button. Don't know what it is for. When i put there a rubber from the button [to cunduct it and test out on Windows's joystick driver] it turns off every button, until i take it off.
Overall i just can't use 5 year old original DS2, but i can use first Dual Shock from 99 . That's incredible but that damage pisses me off :/ My little brother loves to play with me gran turismo, tekken series and Army Men, and now we are not able to play xd.
Am i forced to buy new DS2? :/
Help appreciated as always,
Regards
