Title: Wavebird Analog Stick Issues
Post by: Pasty on November 02, 2007, 10:40:10 am

So, uh, I figured I'd post this here.  My Gamecube wireless controller's analog stick came loose while I was playing Smash.  I can move it around and such, but moving doesn't do anything unless I press really hard.  Is there anyone who has dealt with a similar issue, or anyone who knows how to fix it without going into the controller itself (not because I'd void my warranty, but because I don't have one of those little triangle-tipped screwdrivers)?

Any help would be most appreciated.

Hmm, how did it come loose? Normally you can "pop" the control stick in and out of the socket, you could try pushing it back into place.

I am pretty sure I was doing an Up-B and then came down to the left diagonally and it just slipped out.  I was pissed.  I have also tried pushing it back into place, but it didn't work, so maybe I thought something had broken off, but I shook the controller and I could hear no moving pieces, so there has to be a way to refasten it.  An elaborate and time-consuming way, but a way nonetheless.
