Help Me!!! - jarl - 12-07-2005
ok, something really weird just happened, i was playing on my gc, a bit bored, so i pulled the cable on the controller, then suddenly the screen whent blue. i thought crap!, but the GC is still on, and the fan is going but the light is off, and there is no signal (i have checked leads, etc.) should i turn the GC off and on, or what? this has never hapened before, and im kinda like craaappppp...... help me plz!!
ok, i resetted it then it screwed up again, and now when i turn it on it goes n for half a second then dies... ARR!!!!
right, it seems to be something to do with my controller- i need to pull the wire at the back out to turn on the gc, but then the controller doesnt work, so to make the controller work i have to push the wire in at the back which causes it to turn off..... *very onfused* any ideas about this? but in the meantime *throws away stupid 3rd party controller*
ok, ive put a ninty controller in, seems to work fine, for an experiment stuck in my dodgy controller to port 4 and it turned off... im now VERY VERY VERY confused, but i guess ill save that for party tricks in the future... 'look, the gc's gone off..o, and again...'

:S Holy crap, thats weird. I have no idea whats going on, but I suggest not playing your gc untill you find out whats happening. Or else you may lose your PSO data.

hmm, well it seems fine with a 1st party controller, i mean ive checked all the wire yankingness with it so im happy... (the wire doesnt move on 1st party luckily...) and im only using my lower lvl chars, so i SHOULD be ok...

Don't use third-party software is the solution!

ok: i have discovered the problem!! (btw, its hardware...)
theres a yellow wire, and if i pull that then the GC is fine. on the controller itself, the yellow wire conects to a weird thingy thats marked GND. should i cut this? glue this into place or just chuck it away? i dont really want to throw it away....
