How to Fix Analog Sticks on Dual Shock 2 Controller for PS2
The Playstation 2 is a great console. It's controller has a problem: the analogue sticks. Do this simple test to determine if the sticks are repairable:
[edit] Steps
- While the game is active, push in both sticks (thus pressing R3 and L3)
- While sticks are pressed down, wiggle both sticks in a circular motion for about 5 seconds.
- Your game should resume as normal. If the charactor was moving when you were not touching the controller, this should fix the problem. Just repeat steps 1&2 while on title screen (press start).
- Check it in your PS2 manual! Every time you start PS2, move analog in a circular motion 1 time, and then your stick will not move itself.
[edit] Tips
- If the charactor continues to move or there is a different problem, consider buying a new controller, as the solution above is the only known way to fix a controller.
[edit] Warnings
- Be Very Careful if opening the PS2 controller. If a part is broken the controller itself will NOT work anymore
