Fix a controller connection

Resolve pairing, input and calibration problems.

1. Charge the controller, restart it and reconnect by cable to confirm basic operation.
2. Remove the old Bluetooth pairing and pair again while keeping other devices from taking the connection.
3. Check the game platform’s controller settings and update controller firmware.
4. Test calibration and dead-zone settings; persistent drift may indicate worn hardware.

Follow the official instructions for your device or service. Back up important data before changing settings or attempting repairs.
