Question Xbox 360 wired controller not working in Windows 10

[akshadeep7]

I had an old wired Xbox 360 controller (a legit Microsoft one) which had a wiring issue in which moving the wire will disconnect it. I went to fix it and then tested it back. Now when I plug in its ring flashes for half a second and it doesn't work
It's not recognized ANYWHERE, tried plugging in different USB Ports (also windows doesn't play a sound when plugged in)
It is not showing any unknown device in device manager and windows doesn't show a pop-up that it is ready to use. Programs like Driver Easy doesn't show my controller.
Also used Xbox 360 Accessories software, but still it doesn't fix my problem

So basically nothing knows there is an Xbox 360 controller plugged in my PC
Btw I have windows 10 1809. Please help before the 7th of July (It's my birthday).

What are the odds of the fix doing more harm than good? Did any other device detect it? (I assume you tested on your PC only)

I tried it on my laptop, still it's the same thing

Apparently it's not fixed.

Sounds like the controller didn't get fixed at all, and its probably time to get a new controller, sadly.

Maybe something's shorted in there as well now, when attempting the repair.
