Couldn't really figure out where this should go, but I figure this is the best place. Anyways, was wondering if any of you who have bought Guitar Hero have had problems with your guitar. I've been playing the game on and off for the last 2 months (I'm currently working on Bark at the Moon on Hard) and had no problems until tonight. Suddenly my tilt sensor stopped working. I would tilt the guitar upwards, but nothing happened. Usually I never have to go high than 70 degrees from horizontal, but now, even straight up doesn't work. I did a little research and it seems there are 2 types of sensors. The old one (probably mine) has issues with sticking after some use. The new one is overly sensitive (from what I read). Does anyone know how to fix the older one? I'm not afraid of opening the guitar, I just don't want to if there's no point. Any help on this would be appreciated. Thanks!

PS- The select button sux. I can't use it without screwing everything else up.
 
I've got an old one, and mine is having a similar problems. Basically, I need to not just make it entirely vertical, but do it with such a force that it could crush a mountain. Apparently, my guitar is not for the weak...and it's failed me in a few songs because I couldn't get it to go off. *sigh*

If the select button were by my left thumb or directly above/below the strum bar, that wouldn't be a bad idea... but nooooooooooo. That had to put the button out in BFE so that my hand has to take a freaking hiking tour through the mojave just the find the damn thing. And then when it comes back dehydrated and basically dead from it's venture, it has forgotten what song it's playing and decides to just flop over from exhaustion. Honestly though... worst place for the select button. Hell they could've even put the button on the bottom edge of the guitar so that you could lift your knee to hit the button or something.
