Analog Stick not moving up or down

Post by Greg2600 »

My friend sent me his "teenage" Dreamcast. One of the first party controllers has a malfunctioning analog stick. It won't register on the Y-Axis, only moves left/right. I took it all apart, sprayed some contact cleaner, but that didn't work. Any ideas out there?

Ah, appreciate the tip. Soldering is not in my repertoire so I'll probably just toss it, I have many controllers already.
