My little adventure fixing a Game Cube controller...

I had a GC controller with a problem in the analogic and wanted to test he analog before relacing.... I've made a thread asking for help...(It can be deleted now btw... why I can't do it since it have no replies? )

Well I actually went there to try and test chaging the analog with an old spare C I had here and see what could happen.

But, opening the damaged one, I noticed the analogs are a bit different, so I couldn't replace

The newer controller have screws to hold the analog piece, the old is soldered on the board, its for both analogs ...

So, let's just remove the bad one for now and then look for a new one...

See ? The board is cracked, first time I opened this it I haven't removed the black plastic, so I don't saw this crack there
This must be a defect, let's try to repair them!

There it is! trails all connected again! Don't mind my bad soldering skills...
And better yet, everything working like new now!
This controller was sited with me a time because I haven't much courage to try replacing, but I had some spare time and tools at works so I tried to get info here, got nothing but still wanted to utilize the free time I got there, and everything is under control now! :yayone:
Thanks for following me in this adventure xD
