Joystick is fine but neither button works.

I opened it and cleaned the contacts (under the rubber caps plus the circuit board) and it worked for a day or two and now doesn't work again. Even shorting the button circuit board with a screwdriver tip doesn't work.

Before I start desoldering/soldering all connections are there any known issues with this controllers? Anywhere I should check before I pull it apart again?

Thanks :)

Could be a bad wire in the cable. If that's the case you would need to replace the cable. Or it could be that the cable is not seated all the way inside the controller.
