Joy Stick Broke

[cj30sk8r]

I have had my gp2x for almost a year now and i have had no problems until now. My joy stick has broke not just the little black cover bit but the metal base bit so i was wondering should i send it back and get a replacement or is there anything i can do?

Out of curiosity, how did it break? Did it get hanged on something in your bag when you pulled it out, or did it break during use?

You can get a replacement joystick mechanism, and re-solder it back on. DaveC knows the part number.

If you mean it's still connected but just flopping around, you can fix that yourself. It's happened to me twice (while modding the cap), and with a little bit of gentle manipulation, you can get it back into place.
