Promblem My left and right analog sticks can only move right, not left. Nothing else is broken

I had this problem also on my sons xbox.. You must go into profile and then edit the settings.. In the default game setting you select the actions tba and have movement set as the left thumb stick.. His was set to the right thumb stick.. All sorted now.

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.

You have to go through the game settings and ensure that you have set the primary control to be done by the left analog stick. In other words, make sure that you have the left-analog stick as the tool to move your player around while playing the game.
Also, if that doesn't work, there is a possibility that your left-analog stick is somehow jammed and as a result doewsn't perform the right function.
This could be a factory fault or one that arose as a case of mis-management. Whatever your result is, kindly let me know.

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 :-)

the circular thing that lets it move freely probably cracked, making it harder to move. i had to buy a new controller because of this reason.

Sounds like your control is bad.

If you bought it brand new, contact Microsoft ASAP.

Otherwise, no luck. Just an unfortunate side affect of playing a 360.

Try restarting the game.
