I have a wired xbox 360 controller that came with my core system.about two weeks ago, i plugged it in to play and it didn't work at all.no lights on the controller ring.nothing.
I also have a third party wired controller.so i tried attaching the usb cord of the third party controller to the standard one.it seemed to have worked.but as ik played it a bit more, i noticed that when ik pressed the trigger,  after letting it gooo it performed as if i had continued to hold it down.example:busted one shot off in Saints Row, but my character kept letting shots off till the clip was empty.
I reset the console, and now the controller doesn't work at all with the third party controller's usb cord.on the xbox ring of the controller, the 1st and 4th quadrant lights up, even if the console isn't on.so i tried a friends standard wired controller's usb cord, and it does the same thing, lights up the 1st and 4th quadrant on the ring, but doesn't work.
so does this sound familiar to lanyone?is there a solution?

Might be a problem with the console?
Maybe the USB is damaging the controllers?
Have you tried your controller in other 360s?  How does it function?  It is wired... so have you tried it in a PC?

yeah i tried my standard controller with its usb cord in my friends 360.nothing worked.no lights came on.i tried it in the pc, same result.so i know intitially it was the usb cord.but now when i try his standard controller's usb cord, or myh 3rd party controllers cord, i just get the 1st and 4rth light turning on and nothing else, in my system, his, and on my pc.
the closest explanation i can think of is thatg when i first noticed the standard usb cord was broken, attaching the factory controller to the third party's usb cord might have "corrupted" the controller in a sense.

Glad you got the problem isolated. Atleast it just means a new controller at worst, not a console repair  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif)
