Hi!

I repaired many SNES controllers and this is 95% of the time due dirt.

Best thing to do is to open it up and clean the motherboard with isopropyl alcohol.

And I highly recommend to replace the rubbers as well, if you don't want to replace the rubbers, then clean them thoroughly.

If the rubbers have any tears, or when the rubbers are damaged, a replace is necessary.

Good luck!
