Atari Flashback 2 (original) joysticks just quit working.

[Armonigann]

Hello everyone,

 

Yea so, I've had my FB2 since lanch & I remember even then one of the joysticks just quit working..Then both. I know it wasn't the console, as other pads & joys work just fine. Also, the FB2 joys wouldn't work on an actual 2600 either. I mean nothing.

 

Fast forward to today & all of the sudden the same issue. I had bought Replacements(FB2 ones) years ago since the original ones failed. First one of them just quit working , then shortly after the second one. They were gently used with zero wear. Ive tried using on an original 4 switch Woody & Vader as well , nothing.

 

Mind you other pads & joys work just find in the FB2 so it's not the flashbacks ports .

 

Anyone else have FB2 joysticks just straight up die for no reason or am I just extremely unlucky with these things to have 4 just die.

 

Is there a way to fix them maybe?

 

Thanks for any input.
