Saitek pro flight yoke, not powering up.

I have had the saitek pro flight yoke, for little over a year and so far it was working great, until randomly while playing fsx it shut off it was unresponsive  the screen was not illuminated and the throttle quadrant was not powered either. Assuming it was a weird driver issue I restarted my pc and it worked fine. A few days later it shut off again, same problem no power i restarted my pc and nothing happened I switched usb ports nothing happened, so I think it is a hardware issue I tried installing drivers but it wound't connect so the drivers wound't install, I think the issue is the usb connection because the is no power, am I right in thinking this? And if so should I replace the connection or should I just get another one?

Thanks- Spark
