So I got the CPPXL maybe about a year ago for Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance, and it worked fine throughout the entirety of my 40-50 hour playthrough. It's been a while now, and my friend just bought me Metal Gear Solid 3D. As soon as I could, I went to the options to set up the circle pad, and the first message to pop up says its not connected. Then after a few seconds it says its connected and has me attempt to calibrate it. I rotate the right stick and press a, then it asks me to color the 4 triangles. They all turn green fine, but everytime I press a it immediately tells me the circle pad isn't connected and begins the process all over again. If I select the return to default option, it also immediately says its not connected and goes back to the beginning.
- I have changed the battery a couple of times, it did nothing.
- I have cleaned the circle pad inside and out and it did nothing.
- I have taken the circle pad off and tried to put it back on front to back, back to front, and both at the same time, and it didn't do anything.
- I have restarted the game and the system several times over, nothing.
- I have tried it on Kingdom Hearts to make sure it wasn't just Metal Gear, and it works when the game auto-calibrates at the beginning, but if I attempt to manually re-calibrate then it quits working altogether on that game as well.
Anybody else I see having these issues inevitably end up saying it just eventually started working, or they got it to work by doing one of the many things I tried above. I am totally at a loss, is there anything I can do without having to send it in or buy a new one?
