    Default Repairing a genesis controller

    I bought a six-button pad a few months ago, and it worked fine. Last week I couldnīt make it work, so I opened it and tried the contacts pushing where the buttons should go. All of them worked except A and Right. Thereīs no wires broken or anything. What could I do?

    Is everything clean? the metal discs and the contacts on the PCB?

    Yes Iīve cleaned them with alcohol, but it doesnīt work. All of the wires seem fixed to the PCB, I donīt understand what could be the problem.

    Could be a break inside the cable. You could test continuity with a meter, from the cable end holes, to the wires inside.
