The demand specifies that the user himself would have tried to solve this problem on their own, both through software, with a tool that makes Xbox itself available to players, as well as trying to repair the controller hardware. Neither method worked, serving only to make McFadden see that the internal components in which the problem resides have a design that favors the failure, according to the demand.
