Problem with Flashback 8 Gold Player 1 Joystick

[SumerNivek]

I recently hooked up my Activision edition of the Flashback 8 Gold that I recently purchased off of Amazon. It was working fine for a week, but then, all of a sudden this evening as my daughter and I were playing a game, the first player joy (with the extra buttons along the side) locked up and showed a "steady blue" light for the wireless output. The joys are only supposed a register a blue light when a button is pressed or the joystick is moved. I took the batteries out of it and tested other batteries. Same result. Actually, for about 10 seconds after replacing the batteries, the blue light is not on at all and then, all of a sudden, it comes on.

 

Not sure if anyone else is having this problem, but it appears the stick is already busted after a week of play. The thing is, the player 1 joystick has the "reset" and "replay" buttons on it while the console (and joystick 2) do not.

 

Bill, is there a way to get a replacement for the player 1 joystick through AtGames?

Did you ever solve this issue? I'm having the exact same issue and haven't seen any responses.
