PS3 Controller Help

[stix45]

Hey Everyone

My brother today just spilled juice on my controller.So i tested to see
if its ok and from what i did it was pretty jacked up.Heres the problems.

The button pad {Up,Down,Left Right buttons}Keep making it go left or up
and if i try to make it go down or right it won't let me.

Then the button thats on R3 and L3 {Sorry forgot the name of it}
are low sensitivity and keep going right.

Sorry if i don't make since but if so can someone please tell me what i should
do?

Also.X,Square,Triangle,Circle and R1,R2,L1,L2 and Select and Start are all fine.

Take it apart with a small Phillips head and clean it with a cotton swap with atleast 70% alcohol on the swab.. By the way this probably should go in the general discussion thread.

^^This,

It needs cleaning, seems like the buttons and sticks are sticking. You could also try spraying it with an alcohol based cleaner (if you're not comfortable taking it apart). I usually spray mine, except the USB port on the controller (careful), and just let it dry.

x2 for taking it apart, its very straight forward

Just be careful, there is a tiny plastic piece that makes the reset button work and you can lose it easily
