Accessories, more worryingly, accessories that dont work now. I'm speaking of the video-out cable.

That would explain the 5v and the battery drain, even though there's nothing coming out, thats no proof that that part of the controller isn't active and waiting for data-food.

Actually the devices can charge over the video-out cable:

This TV out cable allows you to watch video, stream media or view documents on a TV from your HTC device. The cables export the video signal through RGB standard output while continuously charging the battery."
