Weird Pro Controller Issue

[papared]

I have a Wii classic controller pro that I've been using on my Wii. Has been working fine up until today when the classic controller suddenly stops working in all homebrew applications. Does not work in USBLoaderGX, HomeBrew Channel, or any emulators. Works fine navigating the system menu. Synced a different Wiimote and the Classic Controller works fine in all applications on that wiimote. I first ran into the issue when exiting Nintendont by using the controller input shortcut to return to USBLoaderGX. Thought it might be an issue from installing a different forwarder but removing it doesn't seem to help. Any ideas what would cause this?

Wiimote + Controller are OEM.

Those controller problems can be tricky! I had a similar issue and it turned out to be a firmware mismatch. While waiting on updates, I checked out https://casinosanalyzer.com/free-slots-online/Cash-Bandits-3, a nice distraction between tests. Hope yours gets sorted soon!

I am replying here so that I can keep track of this thread.

Edit: All good now?

Check the female/male ports.
I previously have a connection problems with my Classic and Nunchuk controllers, I clean the ports with a semi-hard piece of paper with a bit of isopropyl alcohol and a lot of care, later the Classic controller began to work properly. For the Nunchuk, I notice that one of the copper pin were down, so I used a pin with a bent head to hock it and pulled up gentle. I will leave this images as reference>>

A lot of care with the female port, the plastic part in the middle can break or bent easy with a little presure, so don't insert a thick object to clean it, do it with something that can enter and pull out easy.

I'll give this a try. I appreciate the help!
