My analog stick broke, i can't control what it does, how can i fix it?

Analog stick might be bad and may need replaced. If you don't feel comfortable tearing it apart, you may want to look into a new / used one.

Hello Iwn666,

There could multiple things wrong, and hopefully nothing serious. Here is a complete list of some problems and solutions that can be wrong with the analog stick.

1. The Left analog stick may be sticky. If you eat greasy foods while playing your Xbox 360 console, try to avoid this from now on. Grease from food particles may slip into the analog stick, and make it sticky, causing the analog to move constantly to one fixed position. Please look at the next problem and solution ahead before attempting to remove your controller with a screwdriver. Here is a complete guide on how to access the inside of an Xbox controller.

2. There may be a simple glitch in configuration. Try turning off your Xbox 360 controller by holding the Xbox Guide button for approx 4 seconds untill a menu comes up. Select "Turn off controller". After doing so, try turning on your controller again. If the problem persists, there may be a greasy analog stick, or an object that broke that holds the analog stick together. Go back to problem/soltution #1.

the best way to fix it is to take it apart and try to glue it back on, the tab that holds the stick on may have broke off

you could get an old faulty controller off ebay for cheap or out a second hand shop for cheap and just replace the top plate fiddly as anything tho.

hey chochie :-)

quick simple ansa to this....YOU DONT :-(

srry...

i have boxes of controllers with one analog stick broke (left or right) & even i dont fix them & i deal in controllers (i mod them)

Its a real big job to replace a analog stick when its damaged !
lots of de-soldering (to remove) (solder ****** working overtime)
& lots of re-soldering fitting the new (or used) one !
Trust me....ive tried ! I can do it...but its not worth the time it takes to repair !

srry maybe not the news you wanted to hear...but honesty the best policy !

take care :-)

I'm afraid I've had the same problem and I can shed a little light on it.

I've tried to fix this but to no avail. I have even transplanted the whole analog stick unit with one from a working controller to see if it will work but I have the same problem.

So, my conclusion the problem is not with the stick itself, but with the microcontroller inside the pad which takes the info from the stick.

I took the analog unit out, and plugged the pad into the computer without it , but STILL the vertical axis on the right stick was pushing up even though there was no input from a stick. It seems to be a fault with the pad, not the analog stick.

Check the controls on the game's control section. If you play another game that uses the right analog control and it works on that game then it's the control set up for FIFA. Make sure that the analog control light is on when the game boots up. Sometimes if the analog control light is not on when you turn the game on and you turn it on afterwards, the analog stick controls don't work properly. That happened to me on NFS Pro Street. If this helped you leave feedback please. FIXYA!

then it is a internal fault is it under warranty if so id take it back and try your analog stick on the replacement one then your see if it your machine or the analog ?

You could try to dissasemble it carefully and see if it the stick has simply just become dislodged but it sounds more like something has broken inside the housing, Possibly just as easy to buy a replacement if you can be bothered to repair it, There not overly expensive nowdays.
