well i went in to get the word on the wall and ended up throwing a controller across the room,
this is the dungeon where you have to collect the three phials of blood, yeah i snag the first two, get to the big round puzzle door, i notice all the symbols are lined up on dragons. I look at the claw and then try to spin the wheels proper...yeah they wont budge...so i save and reload the game, same issue, i leave that section of dungeon, making it reload, and i think all right i solved it, i move the wheels to their symbols, insert the claw, nuthing happens, so i went thru the same steps as before, i spent 30 minutes reloading saves and going in and out of the dungeon...i gave up, slung the controller and retired SKYRIM!!!!

Same here. Time to sell this piece...

Mature reaction bro.

UESP chat section has some supposed workaroudns to this problem, I'll link you and hopefully when you you're done super gluing your controller back together, they work out for you.

And I just realized this was necro'd from back in January. What the hey.
