cimerians Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Anyone recommend a nice method of fixing a controller? I have one left as two of them have finally stopped working. One I don't care about and the other I can open it up and try and clean it. The D-Pad doesn't work, I think UP will not work but the other directions do.

mickcris Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 open it up. it may just be dirty. possibly the rubber pads are broken and need replaced. NES/SNES replacement rubber pads are readily available, but I could not find any Genesis ones doing a search. but 1st just try to clean the rubber pads and the contacts if the don't look ripped.

bohoki Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 once you get the little rubber contact flange out just do a few skidmarks on a piece of paper and clean the circuit traces with alcohol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
