Start button difficult to press

Hello community,

I have an original controller from my Super Nintendo, but have been difficult to press the start button. Can it be a dirt difficulting the pressing, or can it be some problem?

Does it still press?

Yes, but I need to press hard for it to work.

If you have the tools you could dissassemble it (Super Nintendo Entertainment System Controller Teardown) and clean the board and button

Perfect, I'll make a clean and test it.

Thank you so much Hampter

Hi!

I repaired many SNES controllers and this is 95% of the time due dirt.

Best thing to do is to open it up and clean the motherboard with isopropyl alcohol.

And I highly recommend to replace the rubbers as well, if you don't want to replace the rubbers, then clean them thoroughly.

If the rubbers have any tears, or when the rubbers are damaged, a replace is necessary.

Good luck!
