Great guide, but I'm looking to buy replacement joysticks and I can't find them anywhere. Where would I find those?
When I removed the joystick it would come off. The plastic was stuck too hard to the joystick so I accidentally broke it in half. Is there anyway to glue it back together?
@Tyler Lovejoy - That's already part of the controller.
@Joe Freedman - Try Amazon.com
@Mattias Wirsenius - At this point it would be best to buy a new controller.
This guide is quite unhelpful; it tells you how to remove the stick but not how to repair it. My controller's joystick has sunken into the controller and stays slightly tilted if i move it to the right. Yet when I go to the "rogue joystick" portion of the troubleshooting guide, it tells me to repair the joystick if it's not correctly attached to the motherboard. Seriously, there needs to be a more in-depth guide if such repairs are possible.
without taking the controller completely apart, pull the joystick straight up with your hand
