Xbox joystick is not stuck, but when i turn on the console it is stuck scrolling left

SOURCE: Right Joystick. . .

I had this same problem with my 360 controller (after modding it, but the solution should be the same..) If you pull up on any 360 joystick it will stick the same way.

The quickest fix would be to take some sandpaper on the inside of where the joystick touches the controller shell, sand it down just enough so the joystick is moving smoothly.

More professional ways would be to cut the little piece of metal that sticks out and goes into the joystick. Just a very small amount, too much will make it hard to press the right thumbstick button.
You could also try some old fashioned grease, just a little bit on the inside, nothing noticeable from the outside.

Also make sure the controller is put back together right, I've taken apart many 360 controllers and sometimes joysticks stick when there's a wire in the wrong place and the shell won't close all the way. (The rumble motors particularly).
Hope this helped!

One way to solve this is to use a Torx size 8 T8 screwdriver.(a type of x-screwdriver).

if the joystick is up take it apart and clean it. If its in the center and on the game the person is moVing forward then turn off your console and leaVe the joystick and don't touch it leaVe it on the floor and turn the console on
