Do you know anyone with a spare stick so you can check whether it's the stick or the usb that is faulty?

ok, found out what it was. had to call microsoft. if you leave it plugged in and computer on for a long time, it will build up a static charge and cause it not to be recongnized by computer. had to turn off computer and plug and unplug the joystick from the computer 10 times. then turn the computer back on and then plug in the joystick. it worked.
