calfranklin Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 I recently bought a 5200 system on Ebay and when I hooked it up, the red buttons on one of the standard controllers didn't work (meaning there was no response from the game I was playing). Can this be fixed? If so, how? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JagFan422 Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 i fixed mine by taking it apart and taking some cleaner and a paper towl. Get that black crap off where the contacts are and you'll be fine. Just becareful putting it back together, i've found 5200 controllers to be a pain in the ass to get back together properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Helmet Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 I did the same thing, but i used a pencil eraser on the contacts. Took all of the grime right off. Also, I second the warning to be careful. the flex circuit is delicate. You don't want to bend it around to much for fear that the leads will break.
