Left joystick broke

You must have the remote.

sounds like the microswitch is stuck. The return spring won't help resolving this. more than likely replacing the controller will be your most efficient means to resolve the issue.

I would suggest buying a new controller if you want to skip the hassle of trying to fix this one, but if you insist on keeping this controller, then there could be a way to fix it. First try your best to smoothly trace the joystick around in a circle, and see if that unsticks it. If this doesn't work, apart from buying a new controller the only other thing to do would be to open the controller up and put lubricant on the bottom of the joystick, this will most likely work, but you might damage your controller in the process.

Hi, When you set your joystick up using the in game controlls menu try this. Try setting the controls from the bottom up I will try to explain. Lets say in the controls menu from the top it starts like this> 1)Pitch forward 2)Pitch backward 3)Roll right 4)Roll left. Start with pitch backward and pull the joystick back, It should auto input the pitch forward control. Next you would move on to roll left, It should auto input the roll right control. Get what im saying, You should only have to input one direction the other should auto input. Had the same problem with my LG extreme pro for BF2. Hope this helps good luck!

if the joystick is up take it apart and clean it. If its in the center and on the game the person is moVing forward then turn off your console and leaVe the joystick and don't touch it leaVe it on the floor and turn the console on

Sounds like the joystick is sticking, the only thing you can do would be to take apart the joystick and with a slightly damp washcloth, and clean off the joystick. Then after you clean all the stickiness off, put the joystick back together and the screws back on and it should react like normal.

If it doesnt work, then try the controller. If the controller works, then just use that. Sometimes the system does not recognize the joystick.

see budy what u cud do is open up the cover of ur handset blow some air into the part of joystick might have some dust particale stucked there, otherwise change ur joystick.

I had this same problem with my 360 controller (after modding it, but the solution should be the same..) If you pull up on any 360 joystick it will stick the same way.

The quickest fix would be to take some sandpaper on the inside of where the joystick touches the controller shell, sand it down just enough so the joystick is moving smoothly.

More professional ways would be to cut the little piece of metal that sticks out and goes into the joystick. Just a very small amount, too much will make it hard to press the right thumbstick button.
You could also try some old fashioned grease, just a little bit on the inside, nothing noticeable from the outside.

Also make sure the controller is put back together right, I've taken apart many 360 controllers and sometimes joysticks stick when there's a wire in the wrong place and the shell won't close all the way. (The rumble motors particularly).
Hope this helped!
