Re: Non responsive joystick input

If by "main drive computer" you mean the RoboRIO, then it sounds like you had a bad connection, or possibly a bad PWM port on the RIO. If this is the case, try going back to the original RIO. If that does not work, move the "bad" connection to another PWM port and adjust the software accordingly.

If by "main drive computer" you mean the driver station, then I don't see how you would swap inputs for a single joystick. If you have dual joysticks, this would point to a bad port or connection on the joystick (not the port, as it moved when you switched). If this is the case, the most likely culprit is an intermittently loose connection within the joystick somewhere.
