SIXAXIS analogue stick trouble

[Shaggy Alonso]

I'm not sure if this is the best place to post this but I couldn't see anywhere else more appropriate. Basically my problem is this; on one of my sixaxis controllers the left analogue stick sometimes gets stuck to the right. It doesn't return to its deadzone automatically when you leave it. This is incredibly frustrating, especially in a driving game if your car starts veering to the right.

I can't imagine i'm the only person out there who this has happened to. Does it simply mean the controller is knackered or is there a cheap easy way of fixing it? I imagine it's not that much different to when a mouse starts to lose it's sensitivity due to the ball erroding the sides of the inside of the mouse. Anyone know any tips for how to solve this problem? Please help! 👍

I had a problem when similar like that.. First try to PULL the stick out and twist a bit ... if it wont work.. you will probably have to force it up n down, left to right.. if it wont work.. try to take it apart and fix it there... but it's hard to put it back together.. so be warned.
