While deciding what to do about my situation I thought, why not ask the illustrious people of Tom's Hardware? I purchased a Benq XL2411Z monitor off Amazon and it arrived about a week ago. It was discounted and I jumped at the opportunity. While using it, however, I noticed it had a stuck...

I found out what it really was a while ago. Forgot to update this thread. It turned out to be a false contact in the controller's cable, right in the area where it comes out of the shell. I cut and resoldered it, and now it works fine.

Hello everyone, I have a problem with an Xbox 360 controller. It started about a month after I bought it. At random periods of time, the input from the controller will kind of "freeze" or get stuck. By this I mean that if, for example, I am moving the left thumbstick to the left, the character...
