Did you lift off the metal domes and clean the contacts underneath? Or did you just clean the tops of the domes?
Thanks, I didn't because it was in good condition and then it just working after a few seconds and I didn't think there was any sort of detection for that sort of thing on Nintendos side of things, but ig there was since it worked lol thanks!
You're welcome! I'm glad that helped.
It's a pretty common issue, micro corrosion or dirt underneath the domes. But not everyone knows you can peel them up to clean underneath!
I've fixed a few systems like that.
Turns out it wasn't the Dpad. It was the replacement circle pad joystick being dead on the y axis lol that's what I get for going for the cheapest possible lmao
Another replacement joystick later and it works perfect now
Oh wow. Isn't technology amazing!
I'm glad you eventually figured it out.
