crwdns2915892:0crwdne2915892:0

Improper care and attention to a PlayStation 2 controller can wear down buttons and analog sticks. The D-pad is no exception and can become unusable and sticky to the point of repairs being required. Fortunately, D-pads can be easily replaced so you can get back to playing your favorite PlayStation 2 games. To complete this repair, you'll need a Phillips #00 screwdriver, a D-pad replacement, and tweezers.

Once the repair is done, make sure to store and often clean to reduce the chance of needing to replace again.
