Unfortunate answer and disappointing. I’m hoping that might allow me a refund as I am just starting down this path, getting to know the insides of gaming accessories and attempting to start to fix the small things. Thanks for the advice.

Hi,

Your issue is your joy stick needs replaced. You will need Soldering iron, wick, flux, and leaded solder. This job is not something most people will want to tackle. Best to find someone to solder it or purchase a new one.
