Is it a wired controller? Is it possible that there's a short in the wire. Wiggle the wire around a bit. At any point does the controller work again (even briefly)? If so, there's a short and the controller needs to be replaced.

If it's a wireless controller, make sure the batteries are fresh. If so, there could be a signal problem.
