I am looking for any info on repairing Gamecube controllers. The problem I have is with the control stick losing its neutral position and it causes the character to move on its own. It is a very slight movement but it is still annoying when you want your character to sit still.
I already know to leave the control sticks and L+R buttons in their neutral position when turning on the system. I also know that you can hold X+Y+Start for a few seconds to reset the neutral position but I am looking for a more permanant solution without having to buy a new controller.
There isn't much info on the web about repairing Gamecube controllers. I assume this is because you need a special screwdriver just to open the damn thing. The most info I found was on Nintendo's website saying to use a clean toothbrush with warm water to scrub around the control stick. The toothbrush shouldn't be dripping wet. Just wet enough to clean inside the crevices. Allow it to dry for a couple of hours and then try it out. I haven't tried this yet but I'm saving it as a last resort.
I already have the triwing screwdriver and have taken apart the controller. If anybody knows anything more about the workings of the analog stick, please help me!
