Help! PS2 Controller no longer vibrates
Has anyone else had a problem with their PS2 controller all of a sudden quit vibrating. I even tried a new controller, and it doesn't work either. Neither port vibrates. The settings in the software are also set for vibrate. Is there any way to fix this?

No they are Playstation brand controllers. I've never used a 3rd party brand. The only thing different I have had in my controller ports is the DVD remote attachment by Sony. Would that have anything to do with it?

Even the first party controllers have been incredibly unreliable for me, so it's probably just bad luck, although that does sound like a controller port issue and not a controller one.

Well, at least you got 7 valid replies before the Xbox comments started coming.
I'd also double check the controller by checking it on a different PS2.

I have the exact same problem with the controllers and everything I use for the ps2 is Sony branded. I have 2 systems at home and the controllers do not vibrate anymore for some strange reason for both of the PS2's I have. I bought the controllers to my freinds house and it vibrated there strange!

I've been searching the net, and it seems to be a fairly common problem, but no one has the solution. Well, it may be something I have to live with since I'm not about to go buy another one.

All systems have their problems, and so far the Gamecube is the better built. Just by looking in this forum, you can compare the amount of posts regarding system problems. Gamecube ones are not common, but it seems xbox and ps2 ones come up pretty often.
