yeah i had one go a bit funny and my mates had 2.

fucking annoying, which is why i stick with a superior console..............

I had a crazy idea while playing COD (not trying to rub it in btw) But when your game starts try pushing R3 analog stick downwards then hopefully should correct itself while gameplay commences?

Came to me when I thought of playing old computer games and how i read in the instruction manula if you held the analog stick in any direction it would stay like that through the game. So if your saying your analog stick is 'upwards' all the time when your starting your ps3 up. As soon as the game loads up, hold it down.

It's that crazy it might just work :lol:

its like holding a female african with your thumbs on her tits.

the plastic on ps3 pads are really thin.

My R1 button on the PS2 controller used to always pop out as well. Weird.

:lol:

Tbh I've got one of the original controllers, and it was thrown at the wall and broke into bits last week. Put it back together and voila! The R1 button flies out every so often as it hits the wall again, but apart from that it's ace :lol: Just take it apart and fix it!

Maybe they're like voodoo dolls? You abuse yours but mine break :(

"it's SOOOOO unfair!"

I'm actually very carefull with them, they are always docked in my charger when not in use so they don't get stepped on.

The last one that broke, I took apart and there was nothing obvious like a popped out spring or broken plastic clip.. I think it was the tiny potentiometer (is that the correct name?). I tried to replace it with one from an old PS2 controller but it was too fiddly :(

Mine hasn't broke :(

Didn't say othing about smashing them against the wall :o. Probably just do what Richard said to do, then that way your not losing anything :)

I don't think he's been smashing them against the wall. I think it is a common(ish) problem. With some peope if someone's playing call of duty and they go to the toilet during a game you can see their guy move very slowly :lol:

How to dismantle a PS3 controller

i think you got to stop being rough with them tbh if this is the second one to go like this..

ive had my ps3 for 2 years now and i have never had a fault with it,

the controllers can be disasembled easely just take it apart as id dont work anyway so nothing to lose

My PS3 controller broke on Sat night :( its like the right anaolgue stick is being held upwards all the time now... very shit when you're trying to play COD :mad:

This is the 2nd one that's done this now since I got the console back in January. Has anyone else had this happen? Can it be fixed or is it curtains for another controller?

Pisses me off to think that that's £50 down the shitter now :(
