RickMosher Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Maybe you've tried it already but I've had that problem before and rebooting the machine helped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LightORamaDan Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 If you have both controllers connected to the PC and do a REFRESH in the Hardware Utility (HWU) does the LED on the "lost" controller go on steady or does it just keep blinking?
