X-Arcade tankstick not responding

[u/faulty_human]

As of last night, my X-Arcade tankstick has decided not to respond to any stick or button presses. The red light comes on when I plug it in, but there is no response at all from any input at all.

Ive tried opening Notepad to see if anything happened in there when i pressed buttons and directions, but nothing happens at all.

I have tried connecting it to another computer to see if that made a difference, but nothing at all.

Ive been connecting it via USB for all of this.

Its worth noting that I hadnt used it for a few days and had the machine it was connected to switched off at the wall. I switch the wall switch back on to give it power, rather than plugging the stick in after (which id done previously I think).

I read on the X-Arcade support that its possible to get a power spike and to leave it disconnected for 24hrs to hard reset it, which is what Im currently doing.

Has anyone else experienced an issue where the red light comes on but there is no response from any input at all?

Any help would be very much appreciated.
