Jesus, what kind of controller do you have? USB's have 4 points that need to be connect, just make sure they are properly hooked up and it might work? I have no idea.

no need for that ! Originally Posted by gybp

Secondly, use google for the USB cable outs ...it's not hard !

You could try spraying it down with Caig DeoxIT D-Series (pn DN5S-6N) or DE-OX-ID.

Thats a tough one - all the rust removing solution i can think of just change the rust into something tougher - any chemists around?
BTW your OP does not mention that it is stuck in the midi controller at all - so no surprises when people assume you are asking about cleaning your usb cable...
