Playstation 2 Dualshock 2 Controller not working

[BooperGrandson]

Hello, I bought this Playstation 2 Dualshock 2 Controller off of eBay to repair. It seems that none of the buttons are working. I even tried cleaning the controller, including the contacts, rubber pieces, and buttons. I also tried switching rubber pieces and buttons; and I tried crumpling up paper to put inside the buttons. Nothing worked. When I go to use this controller, the Analog LED lights up, but none of the buttons work when I'm either in the main menu or playing a game. I've tried other functional controllers and they work flawlessly. Does anybody know how I could make the controller's buttons work again? Help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you and have a nice day.

P.S. I have a lot of the same Dualshock 2 Controllers that don't work, that you guys could probably help me with.

Sounds like a problem with the electronic or maybe the wiring.

How would I approach the wiring if that is the problem? I really don't want to strip all of the insulation off for nothing. Also, what do you mean, the electronic? Do you mean the components?

why buy a broken one? Just go get a new one if you need too...

This is because I have a Home Business where I live off of eBay. I buy broken controllers, repair them, and then resell them on eBay again. I have repaired many and still have many more in my inventory. I am just stumped on this one. I have also made some profit off of reselling these controllers in the past. Please help me repair this one. Anyone who helps me repair this controller, will be extremely appreciated.
