Les Paul Wireless Guitar: My red button flickers on and off and then shuts down

Tue, 24 Oct 2023 12:29:01 -0700

I was playing some Metallica (don't judge) and then my red button started flickering causing me to miss notes. It does it randomly unless you whammy. When you whammy it shuts down. I checked all of the games and it does it in them too. 3 the most ironically since the guitar came with that game.

I have it for the wii but I assume the guitars are the same so I am asking here.

Sun, 26 Jun 2022 23:26:50 -0700

There seems to be no source for a new battery for this controller. Seems ridiculous. Mine sat plugged in for a couple months and is dead. I’m not going to buy a new controller when all I need is a new battery.

PDP Afterglow Wired Xbox 360 Controller: Afterglow glows, but doesn't work

Sun, 24 May 2020 05:18:32 -0700

Hello, I have bought an Afterglow Wired Xbox360 Controller about a month ago and plugged it to my PC with Windows 10 64-bit. It was working perfectly, glowing and rumbling, I was playing Dark Souls. Then I went with my family for about 2 weeks, and came home 2 days ago. I tried with The Witcher 3, to see how would it work with Afterglow, and worked without problems.

Today's morning I plugged my Afterglow, and it's glowing green by all LEDs, but Guide Button doesn't, and whole controller isn't working, neither with Souls nor Witcher. Windows doesn't beep when I plug or unplug it, doesn't see it at joy.cpl, Device and Printers or Device Manager, controller just glows green so he must be powered-up. I tried with USB in front and back of PC, still only glowing. Same problem with my friend's PC and Xbox 360, just glowing, not working. Could you help me?

Afterglow Wireless PS3 Controller: Lost small usb for controller

Fri, 31 May 2019 12:50:41 -0700

My son lost the tiny usb dongle for his aftershock ps3 controller Tried to contact PDP to purchase a replacement but unable to get through on the phone and been waiting two week for email response after being told my question needed to be escalated to level two tech support - to purchase a replacement dongle - really?

Now I give up and am going to just buy a new unit but don't want him to lose this too. Is there a plastic or rubber cover I can put on the end of it to make it bigger/ more noticeable so it won't be lost as easily
