    Just recently my gamecube wavebird controller's analog stick (grey) stopped letting me go left or right, i can go up and down and stuff. I tried resetting the controller and stuff but it still doesn't work.

    I sure hope it's not stuffed, but if it was it wouldn't let me go up or down either. All the buttons work, and so does the C stick.

    Please help :)

    I think I know what's happened. How long have you used this controller, and what is the main game you play with it?

    There is nothing wrong with your controller then. This probably happened from over use, as the signal receivers in a wireless are much more fragile. =/

    Wireless are good, but don't last as long as wired.

    I wouldn't bother fixing it, as you would have to take it completely apart, and wireless aren't exactly easy to fix, you know? =/

    I got the same problem with my Wii mote, except it wont switch on anymore, even when I insert new battries. i've maybe over played mine coz I played it loads of times when I first got it when I played games like Zlelda and such...:hmm:

    I personally think you should. Nintendo's customer service is pretty good.

    Need help with anything? Feel free to PM me.

    I did... but waiting on the line for half and hour is pretty annoying so i hung up.

    My mother knows how to fix stuff ;)

    I'm sure it's most likely just some eletrical contacts, as the rest of the controller works fine.

    I've had problems with every GC controller I've ever had. Nintendo never helped me when I called! D=

    Oh well, it's not much of a problem for me now. Hope you get it fixed LoTT!
