Wireless GCN controller not working... help !

[Rovelius]

Hello there everyone...

My friend recently bought a wireless GameCube controller, namely Intec G5089. But for some reason, she just can't get it to work and since I've never got my hands on such a controller, I don't know what to tell her to help her. So if you have ANY idea of what may cause the problem, shoot off !

Here's a picture of the controller :

Thanks a lot !

Note : I posted this in this thread since it may be her Wii's GameCube controller slot causing the problem, and anyway the GameCube thread looks less active. :crazy:

Are you sure the controller is sending off the right signal, sometimes you have to change the signal on wireless controllers. usually a switch on the bottom of the controller

I doubt its the slot, since i have never heard of slot problems before.

I told her about the possible wheel or anything channel-related, like the Wavebird, but she said there wasn't such a thing on this controller.

Any other ideas? :O

Are there batteries in it?
