I think I tugged on the cable too hard when pulling it out of the console and now most of the buttons stopped working.
There is some “give” where the joystick cable goes into the connector. If I push them together, some of the buttons start working again. So that’s definitely where the problem is.
What should be done here? The 15 pin connector doesn’t seem like it opens up, or does it? Any way I can crack it open to resolder the disconnected pins?
I have an extension cable, so another option is to just cut off the broken connector and patch the cable to the extension. But would like to avoid that.
