Gamecube controller stops working after a while.

Hi everyone,

it seems my Gamecube controller stops working after a while.

Strangly, I can move the analog stick freely forever, but once I press 'A','X','Y' or 'B' button, the controller stops working very soon after.

I am wondering if anyone had that problem. Thanks in advance for your help !

Answer this question I have this problem too

Hi!

This is strange! Something must have happened on the motherboard! Please clean the board first with isopropyl alcohol. Then check for the damage on the motherboard. Also please clean the rubbers (maybe replace them while you are there). And then try again.

If the issue still persist, then you could replace the motherboard (hard to find, I know). Or you need to check again for damage/missing components/ broken traces.
