Need help ! Stick input dies after few seconds

[Shadow KT]

Okeym so here is the deal. You know 1,5 coming on the 1st and I am cleaning up my computer and older DCS version deleting stuff I don't need. Last time I played was like on the 30th of sept and had no problems.

 

I start the game and what am I seeing, no joystick input line in the options. Turns out my stick has stopped giving input. It is detected by windows and later by DCS, but none of the button presses or axis seems to work.

 

I unplug it. Open up the driver settings to check how it responds and re-plug the joystick. For the first couple of seconds everything responds but after that the controls freeze again and no input is detected.

 

Any idea what I can do about it ?

 

Stick is Saitek Cyborg v.1. I 've been using it for years and it's been a solid stick for its price range. Lately the axis started bugging out suddenly having seizures and stuff so I was thinking about buying a new one anyway, but until dat moment comes I have nothing to play with ? Any idea how can I revive this ? I am on a Win 7 64bit

So update it seems to stop responding after launching DCS or Falcon(tho I falcon in works for like couple of minutes before it stops)

 

edit: I unplugged all my USBs, shut down my pc and drained it, re-plugged only my mouse +keyboard and joystick and it is working so far
