I'm looking for a replacement lead from controller to console - my mate wound his up and damaged the cable inside. Its such a simple job to do and I dont want him shelling out 25 snotgoblins on a new controller for the sake of a pittance.
Anyone know of anywhere that sells spares, i've had a browse quickly and turned out only major spares like drives and stuff.
If there's no joy i'll just bodge it coz the controller itself is fine.

Like I say, i'm fixing it for a mate, he's just had a kid and him and his missus cant afford anything new now so i'm fixing it for him in any way I can.
