Well, apparently they don't make em like they used to. I dropped my ps2 controller a while ago and i thought only one of the inner posts broke. well. i was wrong. all except 2 did. And today it split almost all the way open when it was dropped yet again*as you can see i'm clumsy as hell. Its gotten way better treatment then my still living PS1 controller though.haha*

Now the problem is I got all the posts out now except one. It broke off very close to the hole and i can't find a way to grip it so i can get the screw out and glue all the posts back*i can't afford another controller right now and i want to play FF XII which doesn't work with the PS1 controller*

So can anyone offer any tips or anything to help me get the post out and get this fixed?

if you have a drill then maybe you can drill out? Very slowly!

i'd screw it up badly. i've never had alot of luck with drills.


*edit*
I got it out. I have no clue why i didn't try it before but i lined up the post with its base and squeezed the controller casing together while turning the screw and it worked. Now to get about the hard part. Lining up and gluing them back on. I think its gonna be a long afternoon*looks for glue*



*double edit*
I forgot to say. Thanks to those that gave suggestions. It helped in a process of elimination on how I could do it
