that gamepad was bundled with the 910, it should work, otherwise something is broken. Connect another controller (device...) to it, see if it works. If it does, it's your player which is faulty, otherwise it's your gamepad which is broken. Most likely it's just a missing contact.

I don't own another gamepad or device, i'll just have to wait and see. Thank U for the advice!
I have fixed several of these with the same problem

Typically, the wire from the controller to the cd-i gets a short.
The wire was very frail. You can easily test if this is the case if you have a voltmeter. Open up the controller, run a continuity test from each solder joint to each individual pin. Chances are one of them has a short. Since you cant buy this cable any more or the end for that matter, telephone wire works great for this. It takes some delicate board soldering but it's not all that difficult.
Let me know how you make out.

did it use to work, or did you buy it as a loose device on ebay then?
