Xbox wired controller no longer works

Above.

It's a Razr one that my Brother bought me about 2 years ago so it's probably out of warranty by now... I've had a look on Amazon for a replacement but the cheapest wired controller on there is £24.99 and currently my Parents have a massive cob on about my spending habits.

Would there be a cheap way to fix it?

I am in Sheffield, UK and they have Xbox controllers in North America, and I'm in the process of using Google.

it depends entirely on what's wrong with it

it could be something simple, could be something complex

without more know-how on how to fix things like this, i would unfortunately advise against trying to fix it, because fixing it could involve a multimeter or even soldering

I managed to fix it, it's a wired controller and it was simply that the plug for the wire wasn't pushed in enough! D'oh!

Well I plugged the controller back in, and now it still doesn't work because it kept going off when I was trying to play a game last night, very annoying.

I just can't afford to replace it at the moment.
