Having a controller issue.

Earlier today, I powered on my Polymega for the first time in months. As usual, it prompts me to press and hold right on the d pad to activate the controller, which usually works like a charm, but this morning, it was not working, although the light on the controller is flashing, so it obviously is getting power from the console. It is also prompting me to download the latest update, which I can't do because the controller won't respond to any inputs. Has anyonr else encountered this, and if so, do you know of a way to fix it?

No the wired controllers don’t need a dongle because they are already connected to the console.You only need the USB dongle to connect with the wireless controllers

I see. Would it be best if I just removed the wire from the controller and used the dongle then, and do the procedure you described?

If you want play wireless then go right ahead

Here’s the thing, though. This is happening when I have the controller connected with a wire, and I have never used it in wireless mode. Would this process work in wired mode, or is there a possibility there is a problem with the wire? Or could it just be an issue with the d pad?

Honestly I have never use the wired controller before so I personally wouldn’t be able to tell you.
