Joystick push button stops working after some time.

After I attempted to replace a faulty joystick I managed to destroy the path where on of the push buttons pin is supposed to be connected [attached image]. I soldered a bridged to the upper pin just so it wouldn’t get biased (They are the same terminal). It works fine for an hour or two, but after that the controller just detects the push button is being pressed or it won’t detect anything at all. This happens with the bridge i solder and without it. It just seems a weird problem, after i tinker with it (move the bridge a little or just solder and de-solder the push button) it comes back to life and the it will break again. Do I need to just replace that motherboard?
