its not bugged. at first i also have a problem to complete the mini game but with practice i have started to get the feeling and the timing. i'm not saying its easy because its not but with patience and training you can complete most of all them.
and i don't understand why people is complaining so much about this game i've been playing it for at least 2 days the only problem that i had so far its the sound syncing with the subtitles sometimes besides that its working like a breeze.
Not complaining about ME1, in general, just the silly mini-game. I love the game, the whole trilogy, but elevators, driving endlessly looking for unmapped items and this mini-game make ME1 the least played of the three. While I've played ME2 & ME3 each about 8 times, I've only played ME1 4 times (I've got the whole trilogy on X-Box 360 as well as PS3).
As for the thread, I don't believe there is actually a timer. I've deliberately let it fail looking for a timer, but all I see are alternating lines that shrink completely random and have no specific timing to them. I don't believe those are timers, so much as just decoration. When starting off, the timing is ridiculously fast. I generally max out Tali's Electronics and Decryption skills and bring her along everywhere. Once maxed out, the games are usually bearable.
Timer is on upper part of that minigame window. It's horizontal bar that runs out really fast. On background there are vertical lines that keep going up and down and they are just for decoration.
I have ME1 for PC and I have played it through for at least 10 times, but since minigame is different in pc (and I don't have xbox) i can't really compare
Are the people who are saying that there is no bug playing the disc or the downloaded version? My friend has the disc version and says hers is fine, so I suspect the problem may just be with the PSN download version.
Do the EA help people read these posts?
Does anyone know how do we get them to address the problem?

a) No, the EA Help people do NOT read these forums. These are for "player-to-player" self-help. We're just fellow gamers, doin' the best we can. 😕mileywink:
b) You can post "suggestions" regarding your issue at the Support Community Idea Exchange, (explanation and link on the main AHQ page) but that's really designed more for thoughts on how to organize these forums.
c) The only way to reach the "official" EA Support Staff is at http://help.ea.com, and use the "Contact Us - Get back in the game" link.
I am going to have to agree with those that think it's bugged, because I'm trying the downloaded version on my Xbox 360 and I am trying to do manual bypass on the probes and it won't work. I hit all the buttons, but it keeps telling me I fail. I really hope there is not one of these mini game coming up that is essential to the game because I won't be able to finish then
