MacGurl Posted July 16, 2002 Share Posted July 16, 2002 Does anyone else have problems with their 7800 joysticks? We thought the one we had was just a piece of crap..but we got a new one and it's not much better. It seems to get "stuck" sometimes..and if you control the joystick to the right, it'll go down or to the left occasionally. It's very frustrating.

Bez Posted July 16, 2002 Share Posted July 16, 2002 Don´t know , but could it be the usual dirt and wear? Take it apart and clean it, maybe it´ll work. It´s worth a try I´d say. /Bez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacGurl Posted July 16, 2002 Author Share Posted July 16, 2002 Thanks for the suggestion..but we just bought a new one at a gaming expo and it does the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+-^CrossBow^- Posted July 16, 2002 Share Posted July 16, 2002 Okay...do these sticks also do this for player 2 if you play a 2 player game? It could be there is a problem with the 7800 or the port for player 1 on the 7800. I myself have had to resolder my joystick ports before simply from wear and tear of plugging in the controllers and taking them back off... Just a thought. I have several pairs of 7800 prolines and I can't say I have seen the problems you describe with any of them. Only problem I have seen with the 7800 prolines is that I have had the fire buttons get stuck in the down position before..and this required me to have to dissect the stick...undo the tape holding the metal disc in place..and either replace it or pop it back into shape...

+Propane13 Posted July 16, 2002 Share Posted July 16, 2002 Hi, I've seen the same problems-- I think. I've had it where if you move the stick around in a circular motion, sometimes it gets stuck in the "last" state. So, if moving from down to left, it stays pressing down. It's basically the pick of the joystick you get. Sometimes you get a dud. I once got a 7800 controller brand new that had the buttons reversed... Thanks, -John K.

slimy007 Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 I bought 5 dead prolines and made 4 working ones out of them their pretty simple compared to any thing nowadays. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
