wendy o Koopa inside the controller is a plastic sheet with a circuit silk- screened on it. This is the Membrane Printed Circuit Board (MPCB). Pieces of the circuit can chip off and cause the controller to delay or not work. This can be repaired by cleaning out the MPCB with a soft brush or cloth. Until you may find someone in your area that can help you, I would at least take a look at it. Use this service manual [document|3231] to work on your console. Happy Canada Day 150.
