Have you checked all connections in the controller? Might be a loose connection too

@markusnorstroem So i have to make sure they are in-in? like slight looseness might be it?

@kingrss I'd at least start there as I've had similar issues with other nintendo consoles and fixed it by checking for loose connections

@markusnorstroem Also I recently discovered that if I connect it to the console and press the home button twice it works (but if I disconnect it nothing)

Go around with a voltage meter and see if there is any shorts in the circuit and make sure everything is plugged in.
