PSP analog stick

Post by Bibin »

My analog nub is acting up. Sometimes it randomly jumps about, which makes playing Cave Story quite obnoxious while I am trying to use the directional pad.

When I opened it up, I realized that the analog nub never makes contact with metals; it notably presses the four contacts onto a strange gelatine-esque rubber clear block which in turn presses on contacts.

I turned the block over a few times then put it back, then the problem resided for a few days. It is back now, though.

I was wondering how I might fix this, and also how the signal passes through that rubber block at all?

What I did to fix it was to slightly loosen the screws holding the analog nub to the faceplate. It has only happened once since then, and it killed me whilst playing Doom.
Meh, I don't post much.
