I have a microsoft precision pro 2. its a usb controller. It has been working fine now on my current system in AH for some time now. Tonight a thunderstorm was rolling thru while I was on game. power went out for second then came right back. The computer turned off then came back on. Logged in and went to up. joystick didnt respond. So logged out and went to check if computer was detecting it, it was not. Ive had this problem with it before, so I turned off puter, and put the joystick into a different USB port 15 times, thinking it was static charge built up like previous times, but it didnt work. Uninstalled software and reinstalled it, but it didnt detect it. called microsoft, they dont trouble shoot the joystick anymore. sent me to a websight that i was already at and didnt work. told me to check drivers in the device manager. the joystick doesnt show up in the device manager. usb hubs say they are working properly, as shown by other usb devices working in the slot the joystick was in. tried joystick in all the other usb slots that has items in them that work.
any ideas? help please. ive had this joystick for almost 6 years now, would hate to have to learn a new one. that might be the final answer tho. grrrr.
